JAM THE DEPORTATION SNITCH LINES! STOP RACISM!
Joint release from No One Is Illegal in Montreal, Toronto & Vancouver

Over the past three months, the Conservative government has issued multiple lists of migrants that it charges with serious criminality or war crimes, often without evidence. Jason Kenney and Vic Toews have created phone lines across the country dedicating to reporting and deporting people.(More information below)

The Conservatives claim they want to hear from us, so let’s make our voices heard! One of the oldest and most important forms of day-to-day resistance is impairment: let’s jam these racist snitch lines and make them ineffective and irrelevant. Let us reaffirm that we are opposed to displacement, not migration; we are opposed to occupation, not resistance!

REPORT JASON KENNEY & OTHERS, WANTED FOR WAR CRIMES AND SERIOUS CRIMINALITY
CALL 1-888-502-9060 and 1-888-242-2100 (press 5 after selecting your language)

We encourage you to report JASON KENNEY, RICK HILLIER and PETER MUNK who are the subject of a country-wide search for arrest and removal for crimes against humanity and decency. If you know of other war criminals or people with serious criminality, please email nooneisillegal@riseup.net

1. Name: KENNEY, JASON.
Aliases: Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism; Minister of Censorship and Deportation.
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: 1968-05-30
Place of Birth: Oakville, Ontario
Last Known Address: Calgary, Alberta

Identifying Features: Demonstrates profound hostility towards refugees, women, queer and trans people, temporary migrant workers, and sponsored family immigrants. His particular disdain of people of colour is exhibited through his drive to cheat, detain, and deport them, but disguised through a disingenuous commodification of “ethnic” food and votes.

Crimes include, but are not limited to: inhumane and unlawful imprisonment of children and families fleeing war and violence; unrelenting sabotage of immigrant, refugee, women, queer and trans rights; and stifling civil liberties while fostering hate speech. Kenney has overseen a massive cut in the numbers of immigrants with full status in the country and is presently pushing Bill C4 that will ensure arbitrary detentions of refugee claimants for up to a year. Kenney also supports the illegal occupations of Iraq, Palestine, and Afghanistan.

Report any information on Jason Kenney. Cash rewards maybe available.

Peter Munk is chairman and founder of Barrick Gold, the world’s largest gold-mining corporation. Barrick Gold is responsible for mass displacement, gross human, community and labour right abuses and devastating environmental degradation across the globe. In countries like Australia, Chile, Papua New Guinea and Tanzania, Barrick takes advantage of inadequate and poorly enforced regulatory controls to rob indigenous people of their lands, destroy sensitive ecosystems and agricultural land, support brutal police and security operations, and sue anyone who tries to report on it. In 2009, Munk was named one of “the Top 50 People Influencing Canadian Foreign Policy” by Embassy magazine.
