Put Canada First!

Unite to stop the |

drive to the Right |

Put people before
corporate profit

There-is no excuse for mass unemployment in a country as rich in
raw materials and skills as Canada. Liberal and Conservative __
economic policies caused mass unemployment, and their present
proposals would worsen it. It is possible to create jobs for all.
Entirely new economic policies are required:

@®  Canadianization through democratic nationalization of U.S. ’
multinational branch plants, banks, natural resources, auto and steel
industries. Put Canada first.

@*® Develop a secondary manufacturing industry rich in jobs,
based on publicly-owned resource industries.

H® Place technological change under democratic control to
benefit the people. -

@® Correct regional inequalities affecting the North, the West
and the Atlantic provinces through industrialization based on
planned economic development.

These long-term structural changes to achieve full employment

-must be complemented by emergency measures:

@® Halt layoffs and plant closures, involve trade unions in
decisions on technological change. :

B® Reduce hours of work’ with no reduction in pay. Raise

_ pensions substantially; allow earlier voluntary retirement. °

&* A massive works program of quality, low-cost public °
housing, child care, health and education facilities.

© End the import of machinery which could be produced here.
Rebuild a Canadian merchant marine. Build a Canadian car.
@® Curb the export of capital by monopoly interests. Use that
capital, created by Canadian labor, to expand the economy.

m® — Reverse cutbacks in social services and entrench universality
— the target of right-wing Liberals and Tories despite their sweet
words. =

© — Strengthen the National Energy Program and the Foreign
Investment Review Agency, make them effective instruments for the
Canadianization of the economy. :

Democratic tax reform: eliminate income tax on earnings less
than $25,000 annually; increase corporate taxation.
BH» Canada’s youth need jobs, not military uniforms. Expand

education and training based on full employment. Create a special
fund to extend unemployment benefits to first-time job seekers.
© — Establish full economic and social equality for women,
including legislated equal pay for work of equal value, verifiable
affirmative action programs and universal, quality, child care.

© Protect the family farm with interest-free government loans,

\ free crop insurance, a policy of 100% parity, a moratorium on

foreclosures.
&* Maintain rent controls. Prohibit foreclosures and evictions.
=  Stiffen penalties for industrial pollution, and acid rain.

“= End one-sided trade with the USA. Expand trade, cultural

and scientific relations with the socialist and developing countries.
Support a New International Economic Order to establish equitable
relations with the newly independent countries.

Defend and extend
democratic rights

Real change, policies for peace and jobs, requires strengthening
democracy. Amend the Canadian Constitution to include:

@®  ABill of Rights for Labor guaranteeing the right to organize, -
the right to collective bargaining, the right to strike.

* The right to self-determination for Quebec.

He The tights of the Native peoples to self-government,
satisfaction of Native land claims,

&&~ Replace the senate with a new elected chamber drawing
equal representation from English and French Canada and
guaranteed representation from the Native peoples.

&@ A meaningful Charter of Rights, eliminate the
“notwithstanding” clause which allows the provinces and the

federal government to set aside human rights.

Outlaw racism, discrimination and anti-semitism. Repeal the
provisions of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service which
violate Canadian civil liberties.

Jobs not bombs

Peace méans survival — for Canada, for life on earth. No one can
win an arms race. No one can win a nuclear war. The only
alternative is peaceful coexistence and disarmament based on parity
and equality of security. Canada’s security is directly connected to
active promotion of cooperation between the USA and USSR.

In contrast, the Liberals and Tories have tied us to the U.S.
first-strike nuclear war policy. Both parties support U.S. Cruise
missile testing in Canada: missiles planned to be launched over
Canada against the USSR. Both parties support the deployment of
new U.S. missiles in Western Europe.

As a result, Canada is less secure today than ever before.

The Soviet Union has pledged not to be the first to use nuclear
weapons. The USA has refused to do so. :

The Soviet Union has declared support for a nuclear freeze as a
first step toward nuclear disarmament. The USA, NATO and
Canada have rejected this. :

Reagan’s mad Star Wars program and resistance to a ban on
chemical weapons increase the danger of nuclear catastrophe.
Reagan’s pose as a peacemonger is election year ‘deception.

As long as Turner and Mulroney do not separate themselves from
Reagan’s dangérous foreign policy, their words on peace promise
no security for Canada. It remains to be seen whether Turner will
pursue Trudeau’s peace initiative.

For peace and jobs, Canada needs an independent foreign policy:
@® End Cruise missile testing on Canadian soil. :

&& Cut the military budget. ;

m= Declare Canada a nuclear weapons free zone.

@® — Annul the Defense Production Sharing Agreement with the
United States. a ;

@® Remove and stop deployment of U.S. Cruise and Pershing-2

missiles in Europe. Support no first use of nuclear or conventional
weapons. No weapons in space.

@® Support a nuclear weapons freeze, as a step toward
disarmament. :

Canada should support the right of peoples to control their
destinies and resources free of outside interference.

Hands off Nicaragua! No U.S. intervention in Central and Latin
America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

In the long run, Canada would be best served by a policy of
non-alignment, withdrawal from NATO and NORAD.

There is no choice between Mulroney and Turner. Neither

- Offers a choice for the future of Canada.

There is only one real choice:
Unite to stop U.S. imperialism — for peace, jobs and

Canadian independence — Put Canada First!

e

With the deepening impact of the crisis on the lives of ‘Canadians, more and more people are beginning to question
Indeed Canada’s crisis stands as an indictment of capitalism. :

The Communist Party of Canada campaigns for action now for jobs and peace at the same time as it works for

for socialism. Our fight for socialism expresses the ideals of vast numbers of Canadians who want a
new society free from exploitation and unemployment, free from the threat of nuclear war. The Communist Party welcomes
_all those who agree with its aim of winning a socialist Canada.
