Remember when airport privatization was making headlines?
We had questions. So we started digging.
Now, as Carney prepares to meet with global investors, Canada’s airports could be on the table.
We had reason to be concerned.

Sincere condolences to our @CFLPA labour movement family, as we mourn the tragic loss of Saskatchewan Roughrider linebacker and team captain Jayden Dalke.
Our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Canadian labour has lost a remarkable leader.
Sister Stephanie Smith was a fierce champion for workers who led with humility, integrity & compassion. I'm proud to have called her a sister.
My heartfelt condolences to her loved ones & our labour family.

No worker should fear for their safety at work.
What happened at Wilson Station is a reminder that violence against workers continues to happen far too often. It is unacceptable.
We stand with @ATULocal113 and every worker demanding safer workplaces.

BC Ferries is taxpayer-funded—so why are shipbuilding contracts going to China?
The PM was loud and clear: “Build, baby, build.” “Buy Canadian.”
@AnitaAnandMP: One Canadian economy means ferries built in Canada, by Canadian workers.

Big congrats to the workers at five Starbucks stores in Ontario who just ratified their first union contracts!
This is a great milestone! Solidarity with @SteelworkersCA and every worker organizing for better.

We combed through the records and found that Poilievre has voted against workers over 500 times. One throwaway line about workers doesn’t undo that record. It’s not a slip-up, it’s a strategy. Poilievre’s platform shows he’s determined to leave workers behind. #Elxn45

The debate consortium has cut health care from the leaders’ debate.
It’s a staggering disservice to Canadians—and proof they’re out of touch. Health care is a top priority across the country. Cutting it out is indefensible. @Debates_Can #cdnpoli #Debates2025

Yesterday, @PresidentCLC & Exec VP @LarryRousseau stood with @SteelworkersCA in Hawkesbury, speaking out for Ivaco Steel Mill workers. With 150 already laid off due to US tariffs, workers shared their fears about an uncertain future. The gov’t must step up! #canlab #cdnpoli

With US tariffs hitting tomorrow, Canada’s unions are fighting back. We’ve held our 3rd emergency meeting to tackle what’s at stake for workers.
@PresidentCLC told @GlobalNews that the government can act now, emergency EI doesn’t need new legislation. No more delays. #CdnPoli

Appeasement will not work. This is about breaking Canada.
The government must have an emergency plan for workers on the front lines:
- retaliatory tariffs
- buy Canadian steel & stop illegal dumping of foreign steel
- bring in emergency EI enhancements cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-t…

The U.S. tariffs put jobs and entire communities at risk, on both sides of the border.
Today, Canadian and American labour leaders met with premiers, led by @WabKinew, @Dave_Eby, and @J_akeeagok to chart a path forward.

Our new poll shows Canadians are alarmed by Trump’s reckless 25% tariff threat:
-80% fear higher costs of living
-90% want action to protect jobs & industries
-2 in 3 reject appeasing Trump
Canadians are clear: leaders must act now to defend workers.

1/4 Amazon is shutting down its Quebec facilities, cutting over 1,700 jobs under the guise of "cost savings." Let’s be clear: this is union busting, plain and simple.

"Trump is a bully and labour knows how to stand up against bullies." -@PresidentCLC
Workers don't take Trump's tariff threats lightly. Canadian jobs are at stake and we need an all hands on deck approach to protect workers and our economy. We are ready to fight! 💪
Mike Luff retweeted
The only thing a bully understands is strength.
Canadian jobs are under attack but workers and Canada’s unions are fighting back - we demand leaders who will stand with us.
Thanks to @theJagmeetSingh for championing solutions that will protect workers and our jobs.

Elon Musk and other billionaires back Pierre Poilievre because if he wins, they'll get richer.
Poilievre is clear in this interview that he will cut health care and more.
He will cut from you, to give CEOs what they want.
The middle class will pay even more and the rich will get even richer.
