An edgy feminist initiative called "Slutwalks" is quickly becoming an international phenomenon with marches tomorrow in Chicago and Los Angeles. It first started in Toronto, and since then women have been coming out in the streets in large numbers to denounce rape, sexual assault, and “victim-blaming”. FSRN's Aaron Lakoff has the story from Montreal, where a recent march took place.

Ruth Breen is a letter carrier and a member of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) in Fredericton, New Brunswick. I interviewed Ruth at the Fredericton CUPW local office the night before the union launched a cross-country rotating strike to fight for better wages and better working conditions. Just prior to the interview, Ruth had been busy preparing picket signs and other strike materials.

Montreal – April 29 – Today, a group of activists and Montreal residents representing a diversity of social struggles attempted to disrupt a rally with Stephen Harper at the Ben Weider community centre in the neighbourhood of Cote-des-Neiges. Protestors were enraged by the fact that Harper intended to speak in Cote-des-Neiges, a working-class immigrant community in Montreal, on one of the last days of the election campaign. Cote-des-Neiges, one of the poorest areas in Montreal, has come under direct attack from policies of the Harper Conservative government since 2006.
