He will be in charge of the US nuclear weapons codes,

and he proposes to double military spending. There will

be no breathing space under Trump, who will continue
the imperialist policies of previous presidents, including
new wars in the Middle East and Central Asia, continued
aggression in Africa, regime change in Latin America, and
the NATO drive to encircle Russia and China.

His agenda is to lower corporate taxes, eliminate regulation

of corporations and banks, slash education and healthcare,
privatize public assets and services, scrap civil, labour,
equality and democratic rights, expel immigrants, repeal
Obamacare, appoint judges who will attack reproductive
rights, and rip up the Paris Accords and other efforts to
tackle climate change.

Make America Great Again was Trumps broad

stroke promise to improve the lives of unemployed and
unorganized sections of the white (male) working class
and ruined small business people, and to wreak revenge
on those held responsible for their situation. Trumps
promises to create jobs and raise living standards are
fantasies for the public.

trumps real agenda

The ongoing capitalist crisis since 2008, combined with

systematic de-industrialization, plant closures and job
losses resulting from global capitalist trade deals such as
NAFTA and the upcoming TPP, has created a tipping point.
Unwilling to continue with the status quo, working people
have become increasingly angry and bitter, demanding
change. The field was wide open for the demagogic
ultra-right to offer their alternative: attacks on immigrants,
racialized communities, Muslims, women, and unidentified
elites, including trade unions and equality seeking groups
and legislation blamed for the crisis in the country.

The Communist Party of Canada stands in solidarity with

those who voted against and fought to defeat Trump, and
with the Black Lives Matters movement, the Standing Rock
water protectors, and all other post-election struggles
against the ultra-right, in the US, Canada and globally. To
succeed, this fight must include a program and policies for
the real, fundamental, and progressive change that working
people are so desperately looking for. In the meantime, unity, unity and more unity is what we need in this struggle. The
people united, will never be defeated!

Facing this onslaught, working people in Canada and the

US, and especially the trade unions, must organize to defend hard-won rights and standards, and to mobilize broadbased unity and mass independent political action in the
streets to stop Trump and the ultra-right in their tracks. Unity of the Canadian labour and peoples movements with
our counterparts in the US will strengthen this fight in both
countries.

Living next door to the tiger, Canada will not be immune.

US investment and control runs right through the Canadian
economy, our energy and resource extraction policies are
very similar, our environmental policies are almost as bad,
and Canadian foreign policy and support for NATO is in lockstep. Where there are differences, the US always prevails.
This will include any amendments to NAFTA or the TPP, or
the Keystone Excel Pipeline and other pipeline deals.

of forces that led to Barack Obamas election in 2008
and re-election in 2012, including Black and Hispanic
voters, women, labour, and youth. In this campaign, the
