  The Innu of Pessamit have just REJECTED their band council's agreement-in-principal with Hydro-Québec in a referendum. The deal would have signed away all rights to contest Hydro-Quebec's destruction of Innu territory, paving the way for a giant new dam, wind farms, and transmission lines. The community was given only ten days to gain an understanding of the complex, 42-page legal document. Hydro-Québec is seeking to massively increase power generation to supply data centers and other hi...

  Anti-abortion activists' day thoroughly ruined today: their charter bus was blocked before it could leave Montreal and delayed for close to an hour. Then in Quebec City, counter-demonstrators encircled them and drowned them out with boat horns, before continuing to block and surround them repeatedly when they tried to march. Riot cops were outflanked and pushed back, and a message was left on some activists' Cybertruck.

  Following up on an epic @constellation anarchist bookfair weekend, this morning's fête populaire contre le fascisme with @montrealantifasciste was a resounding success, completely holding the space around the statue of Dollard des Ormeaux where the fascist group Nouvelle Alliance planned to gather for Journée des patriotes. The statue of the French colonist who waged war on the Haudenosaunee was draped in anticolonial symbols, a BBQ served up delicious free food, kids played and got thei...
