Notes du Centre des travailleurs et travailleuses immigrants (CTI) à l’égard de La planification de l’immigration au Québec pour la période 2020-2022

Volume de l’immigration

  • Compte tenu de l’évolution démographique, notamment provenant du vieillissement de la population et de la retraite des baby-boomers prévue dans les années 2020, il y a une nécessité économique de l’augmentation du volume de l’immigration.
  • Plus profondément, en tant que constituante du monde globalisée, le Québec a la responsabilité morale d’assumer dans sa capacité maximale la population quittant leur pays en dépit des difficultés manifestes en vue de fuir des misères économiques, politiques et sociales et de bâtir une meilleure vie pour eux-mêmes et leurs enfants.
  • En effet, comme le tableau 1 le montre, la proportion de la population immigrante du Québec par rapport à celle du Canada s’établit au-dessous de son poids démographique au sein du Canada.

They were produced by governments that abandoned social housing, expanded precarious temporary migration programs and allowed employers and educational institutions to exploit migrant workers and international students.

Racism in the Montreal Police Is Not an “Isolated Incident”

What the racism crisis within the Montreal police reveals cannot be reduced to a few officers who overstepped their authority. The dismantling of an entire 16-officer team at neighbourhood station 39 in Montréal-Nord following allegations of racism and hateful conduct raises a much deeper question: what structures allow such practices to develop within an institution that is supposed to protect everyone? Following the revelations, community organizations and advocates demanded concrete... Read more →
