The MAMO Alliance (First Nations) organizes the blockade of forestry roads to contest Bill 97 for the overhaul of the forestry regime. Tensions are exacerbated between Indigenous protesters and (non-Indigenous) forestry workers. Perspective from the Emma Goldman anarchist collective of the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region.

The military attempts to ‘green’ itself! This is done by powering military facilities, weapons and, together, operations on lower-carbon infrastructures, such as solar panels, wind turbines, hydroelectric power and biofuels. This has been recognized as an attempt at powering “sustainable violence,” to operate domestic and overseas military operations on supposedly lower-carbon energy sources than fossil fuels. Lower-carbon power sources, however, as documented in Oaxaca, Mexico, also end with grabbing Zapotec and Ioot lands to build wind turbines and solar farms to power US military operations overseas, such as in the Middle East.
Can the climate justice movement stop global warming? No, it can not. To do that it would have to be able to destroy capitalism. This objective, however, is hardly even on the agenda for most climate activists, and if it were they wouldn’t have an inkling about a strategy for doing so. Hardly anyone does nowadays. If a movement can’t even identify the root cause of a problem, how can it possibly solve it?
Après la présentation d’un projet de repeuplement, d’éducation et de durabilité pour le village abandonné de Fraguas, le village a été squatté et les travaux de réhabilitation et de reconstruction des bâtiments originaux du village ont commencé avec l’intention de donner un abri à ses repeupleurs et à tous ceux qui croyaient qu’une vie durable et autogérée était possible.
In an anarchist society, the absence of centralized state authority will permit a radically new integration of nature, labour and culture. As the social and ecological revolution progresses, national boundaries will become cartographical curiosities, and divisions based upon differences in geography, climate and species distribution will re-emerge. This essay addresses the question of what role unionism will play in these changes.
I take no pleasure in showing up Bookchin’s contradictions and personal revisionism. It is a shame that he ended such a fruitful political life by writing such rubbish. Hopefully, his post-anarchist work (along, of course, with his silly « libertarian municipalism » fetish that became his undoing) will be ignored in favor of his real, important and still relevant contributions to libertarian theory.
Bookchin’s explicit rejection of the need for working class organization and trade unionism, however, signifies a widening philosophical gap between social ecology and the dominant trends in modem anarchism.
Let’s act in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en opposing the pipeline! First step is to spread knowledge of this fight across the world.
Voici un bon documentaire indépendant qui montre les similitudes entre les deux plus grands projets extractifs du Canada, les sables bitumineux en Alberta et la mine Arnaud à Sept-Îles au Québec (mine d’apatite issue du Plan Nord). C’est vraiment un bon moyen de se familiariser avec ces enjeux […]
