At the beginning of May the provincial Charest Liberals finally sat down with students and other groups to produce an offer that is now being voted on by students at colleges and universities across Quebec.      But already 18 out of 19 student assemblies have rejected the agreement by significant majorities, suggesting the conflict may be long from over. The Minister of Finance has suggested that ultimately, it may be the voters who resolve this crisis.      Student demonstrations have not slowed down either. For two weeks now, the students have been marching late into the night from 9 pm to 2 am. Hundreds of demonstrators snake through downtown Montreal, tailed and often blocked by muscular units of riot police who seem eager to gas the protestors or even beat them up." . . . 2) MAY DAY CELEBRATED ACROSS CANADA Special to PV      This year's May Day actions across Canada were larger and more unified than in the recent past, drawing together sections of the trade unions, students, Occupy groups, anti-war and anti-poverty movements, and left organizations. While small compared to many other countries, the actions were a sharp protest against the Harper Tory government's first year as a majority in Parliament, and a powerful show of solidarity with the striking Quebec students.      In Toronto, there was a single May Day demo, bringing together groups which had previously organized two separate marches. An estimated 2,000 took part, representing a wide cross‑section of the left and social activist forces in the city. The march featured a number of banners from unions including CAW, OSSTF, CUPE, and CUPW.      Following the downtown rally and cultural event, about 400 supporters of Occupy Toronto embarked on a peaceful re‑occupation at Simcoe Park across from the Metro Convention Centre. The action temporarily transformed Simcoe Park into a space for education, conversation, and protest. The park was across the street from the annual general meeting of Barrick Gold, whose CEO Aaron Regent is the highest paid CEO in Canada. . . . 3) THOUSANDS RALLY FOR MAY FIRST IN USA The emergence of the Occupy movement last fall has given a huge boost to May Day celebrations in the United States. After decades on the back-burner, May Day was revived in 2006 by a walkout of immigrant workers across the country, and this year proved that the international day of the worker has returned to stay in the land of its origins.      In New York, according to the People's World website, "Unionists, Occupy Wall Street supporters, immigrants, women, LGBT activists and the disabled filled Union Square from one end to the other on May Day. The message from the stage was loud and clear: `We are the 99%; unions, students and immigrants, all of us together can make a better world!' The New York Labor Chorus sang `Solidarity Forever,' and the crowd roared the chorus `and the union makes us strong'!"      People came from as far away as Delaware and Maryland to join the New York celebration. Homemade signs denounced greed and demanded government funding of human needs. . . 4) CANADA'S SECRET BANK BAILOUT REVEALED 5) NEW HOPE, NEW CHALLENGES - Editorial 6) UNEMPLOYMENT AND RESISTANCE - Editorial 7) WHO IS KILLING BRITISH COLUMBIA SAWMILL WORKERS? 8) F-35 FIGHTER JETS LINKED TO NUCLEAR WEAPONS DEVELOPMENT 9) KKE REMAINS IN FRONTLINE OF GREEK STRUGGLES 10) CHAVEZ SIGNS NEW VENEZUELAN LABOUR LAW 11) WORKERS OF THE WORLD MARK MAY DAY 2012 12) LONDON OLYMPICS: IN THE CITY OF DREADFUL NIGHT 13) SPARK #23 PACKED WITH GREAT READING 14) WHAT’S LEFT Printer-Friendly Articles People’s Voice May 16-31, 2012 (pdf) The Spark!
