This protest in Cap-aux-Meules, Quebec, affirms the right of seasonal workers to a livelihood that permits them to live in dignity and at a Canadian standard. They specifically call for an Employment Insurance regime that provides them an income throughout the off-season, and does not leave them facing the "black hole" where there is neither work nor Employment Insurance.

TML Daily continues its month-by-month 2018 Photo Review with the struggles waged by the working people of Canada and Quebec and the Indigenous peoples in February.

This verdict came just days before the yearly 28th annual Women's Memorial Marches in cities across the country to demand justice for all the Indigenous women and girls who have gone missing or been murdered.

The month drew to a close with the working people of Nova Scotia taking a stand against the anti-social offensive of the McNeil Liberal government.

These events are an expression of the political crisis in which Canada is mired for which the people must find solutions.
