Monday, June 9: No Matter Who Wins, the Working Class Loses! -- Ontario Elections Boycott Public Forum
Time: 6:30pm to 9pm
Location: Community Clubhouse in O'Connor Park (140 St. George Street, Sudbury)
Time and again, the working class is expected to go to the polls and endorse the section of the ruling class that will oppress, exploit and mislead them for the years to come.
More and more, we're refusing to take part in this charade. By ignoring electoral politics, the majority of people in Canada (and the poorest among them) have shown that they already know this system can never be for them. It's time to harness this latent rejection of the bourgeoisie and its sham 'democracy', to build a political mass movement that will put an end to this rotten system once and for all.
Join radicals and revolutionaries in Sudbury as we expose the bankruptcy of the parliamentary system, and begin to chart a course toward the revolutionary transformation of society!

The Sudbury working group of The Media Co-op wants to support people in creating independent media in the North, to speak to our issues and outlooks on our communities as well as the world around us. Independent media provides an avenue for people who are wishing to gain critical perspective on the issues that matter most to us, and to give a voice to those people and stories that you won't find in the mainstream media.
