Today, on the occasion of Valentine’s Day, members of the Montreal Workers Council of the Immigrant Workers Centre (IWC-CTI) presented symbolic Valentine’s Day cards to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The cards, filled with poignant messages, were intended to remind him of a broken promise: to regularize non-status migrants in Canada.
This creative and militant action was organized to highlight the fact that, despite fine words and election pledges, thousands of migrant workers continue to live in uncertainty and precariousness, without access to basic rights. Valentine’s Day cards, often associated with love and compassion, were used here to denounce a lack of love for migrant communities and demand concrete action.
