POSTERS: Blame billionaires, not immigrants!

The ruling class is bleeding us for every last cent under capitalism. Wages have not kept up with inflation, rent is rising, and meanwhile billionaire CEOs are boasting about record profits. And while they count their money with one hand, they’re using the other to point at who they’re telling us to blame: immigrants.

Immigrants are not the ones making the decisions that make our lives harder. Grocery CEOs are the ones raising prices while laughing on their yachts. It’s Big Business lobbyists working with our politicians to keep our minimum wages low. It’s landlords who raise our rent, and in Ontario it was Doug Ford who repealed rent control. And yet, many workers are falling for the myth that it’s not our bosses and landlords who are our enemy, but immigrants: the very people we live and work with, who are part of our communities, who are also getting squeezed by the cost of living while trying to build lives here just like everybody else.

To help fight this spreading anti-migrant sentiment, below are some posters you can download, print, and put up in your neighbourhood. There are different versions of the poster (one each blaming billionaires, corporations, landlords, and for Ontario, Premier Doug Ford), and each version comes in two sizes: standard letter size (8.5″ x 11″) and tabloid/poster size (11″ x 17″). As well, there are two different sets of posters: one for people across the Canadian state, and one with facts specific to Ontario.
