in French, les "Osties de Crosseurs"!)

access to public services that they have inflicted on the population of
Quebec.

=========================================
2- DISRUPT THE LIBERAL PARTY CONVENTION!
A Call to Action!
=========================================

On November 19th, 20th and 21st, the Quebec Liberal Party (PLQ) will meet
at Montreal's Palais de Congres. Business leaders, party members and
their friends are gathering to congratulate themselves on the recent
attacks against health care, the environment, education, workers' rights,
gender equality and access to public services that they have inflicted on
the population of Quebec.

The friends of the Liberals -- the business leaders -- will be those who
will be celebrating, having seen their interests constantly pushed to the
forefront by the government. Of course, those of us who are anarchists and
anti-capitalists are not welcome at their convention -- and even if we
were, we would refuse the invitation! Instead, we'll put our energy into
disrupting the meetings of the elite gathered at the convention in what is
a ludicrous marriage between political conservatism and ultraliberal
economics that the Quebec Liberal Party embodies.

Our anarchist and anti-capitalist politics and our vision of society are
polar opposites of those of Jean Charest and the Quebecois bourgeoisie. We
reject their system, which is based on the appropriation of wealth by a
small minority through the exploitation of the majority.

Despite the indignation, anger and numerous demonstrations held by all
social movements, the Liberal government has persisted with its
counter-reforms since it came into power. In the face of this blind
neoliberal stubborness, we demand nothing less than its abolition. And to
take its place, we reject the Parti Quebecois, the ADQ and all other
assholes.

Instead of elections, we propose collective struggle as a means of social
change. Instead of parliamentary democracy -- a masquerade for the rich
and powerful -- we propose direct and participatory democracy, as well as
the self-management of political, economic, and social affairs by the
population.

The struggle is not over! Despite the failure of the call for a general
strike, we will not stop resisting the miserable conditions that the
government and business elite are drawing us into. The cutbacks and
destruction which has accelerated since the Liberals stepped into power
will just serve to strengthen the growing radical resistance of all
spheres of society. Capitalism is not inevitable -- but its downfall is!

On November 19th and 20th, we will bring our rage to the doors of the
"Palais". Let's make sure that the voices of those who refuse to screwed
by the resonate in their padded meeting rooms!

Young and old, workers, students, unemployed -- we have the power to turn
things around!

Disrupt the Liberal Party Convention!
