If you vote, you can make change. If you hold who is voted in to account....you will make change.

"Masters of our Destiny" must hit differently for a black man. The title doesn't sit well with me, at all.

Strong public services help keep life affordable. That’s where Budget 2026 falls short. With no new action for health care staffing, no new operating funding for colleges and universities. Read on:

Happy Birthday to Thomas Clement Douglas, the father of Canadian medicare!! (Born 20 October 1904 – died 24 February 1986) Tommy Douglas introduced medical insurance reform in his first term as premier of SK, and gradually moved the province towards universal medicare near the end of his last term. In the summer of 1962, SK was the centre of a hard-fought struggle between the Douglas government, the North American medical establishment, and physicians, who brought things to a halt with the 1962 Saskatchewan doctors' strike. Douglas prevailed, and health care spread across Canada, with QC joining last in 1970. #cdnpoli @JMACL3AN
Please put your name on this. A data center in Cape Breton should only happen after environmental studies, consultation and community approval. None of that has happened.

one of the biggest mistakes political pundits make is projecting the ideological world view of a political operative onto the electorate. If you read into the supposed left vs right views alone of successful municipal candidates, youre going to be really confused.

nupge.ca/2026/alternative-bu… Underlying the AFB is an idea that trade unionists understand very well—that building a strong Canada requires building solidarity. And the way to build solidarity is to make sure no one is left behind, and the tax system ensures that what people contribute is based on their ability. #healthcare #instrastructure

nupge.ca/2026/lgbt-history-m… NUPGE recognizes the #2SLGBTQIA+ activists and organizations that organized, fought, and won the legal protections that make Canadian society stronger and safer for everyone. We also recognize that the fight is far from over. #humanrights #equity
Tell me this isn't collusion!!! We have US companies enabling the trump trade war against us and we get threats from the US to not interfere with their elections. Americans aren't stupid they are going to vote out the Republicans....they better or we will face an invasion.
STELCO, a U.S. controlled steel company operating right here in Hamilton, is about to lay off hundreds of steelworkers. The union estimates around 350 jobs will be lost.
Why does Canada keep allowing strategically important legacy companies and assets end up under foreign control?
Take a look at Stelco’s ownership history:
2007: 🇺🇸 U.S. Steel acquires Stelco
↓
2017: 🇨🇦 Stelco becomes Canadian-owned again through Bedrock Industries
↓
2024: 🇺🇸 Cleveland-Cliffs acquires Stelco
↓
2026: Hundreds of Hamilton steelworkers face layoffs.
I’ve also seen the reporting and commentary about Cleveland-Cliffs CEO, Lourenco Goncalves’ relationship with Trump.
I’m not saying anything but, If you think they won’t use every advantage they have over Canada, you’re mistaken. Trump wasn’t bluffing when he said, he’d use economic force to annex Canada.
Yeah, I’m fucking pissed. 🇨🇦 I’m eager to see how Canada and PM @MarkJCarney will react to this.

This bill is made to have government interfere on conflicts and put all leverage in favour of the employer. It removes any balance. This is very disappointing to have our government sounding like the Americans. In Canada workers have a right to strike. This takes it away.
Rosie: The perspective from unions is that with [the Build Canada Strong Act], they believe that they've lost leverage.
Patty Hajdu: I think they still have that leverage at the table. And in fact, I think they have new leverage.

The right to strike levels the playing field. When talks break down, it gives workers a fair way to settle a dispute. We're concerned that Bill C-39 would let a minister end legal strikes on vague grounds. The right to strike is fundamental and needs to be protected. Read on: nupge.ca/2026/bill-c-39-unde…

Chantal Hébert on the Building Canada Strong Act: "I am troubled by the notion that this bill basically enlarges what is called political discretion, i.e. the power of politicians in power to bypass their own laws on a variety of topics."

The Prime Minister has a mandate to defend Canada against Trump – not to run roughshod over Canadians' constitutional rights. cupe.ca/news/cupe-will-defy-…
