Looking for change that builds strength and stability for all Canadians. All racist, homophobic, sexist remarks are not supported by the author of this account
A refreshing reminder that strong unions don't just improve wages and working conditions, they build a stronger economy for everyone. It's time for the government to put workers at the centre of its economic agenda.
Great op-ed in the @globeandmail:

Still thinking about yesterday’s conversation with Aaliyah Haqq at @essencefest about AI, labor, and workforce development.
Sit-down strikes. Lunch counters. Bridges. Picket lines.
Every generation has had to find its own way to disrupt power.
Now it’s our turn.📷
School may be out but the numbers are in. Thanks to Premier Ford and Paul Calandra, Ontario's public education funding crisis is getting worse
It's time to stand up for the schools our students deserve.Join the fight for strong publicly-funded education: https://t.co/nStD6eNpJr
The backlash against the Nakba exhibition at Canada's national human rights museum exposes an enduring effort to silence Palestinian voices—and erase Palestinian history. https://t.co/An9AfSzPZC
Ford consolidates power so he can get away with more corrupt deals.
Strong Mayors power are an assault on our democratic right to majority decision making. They allow a Mayor and 1/3rd of elected Councilors to overrule a vote by 2/3rds of Councilors.
Ford pushed ahead with this consolidation of power in spite of public feedback.

Trump's 51st state threats did not come out of the blue.
For forty years, Canadian governments have sold our resources, assets, and companies to US corporations - trend Ford continues today with, for example, selling Service Ontario franchises to Walmart & Staples.
We need to reclaim our country.

Today, we celebrate Canada and the values that bring us together as a nation.
Canadians are facing real challenges. From rising costs to threats from south of our border, many people are feeling fear and uncertainty about the future.
But Canadians also believe in looking out for one another. We’ve always believed in universal public health care, stronger public services, good jobs, and standing on the side of peace and human rights. Our values of community, fairness, and social solidarity have shaped a country that strives to leave no one behind.
Canada Day is also a time to reflect on the work still needed to build a more just and inclusive society — and on our shared responsibility to advance truth, justice, and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.
Let's celebrate the values that makes Canada worth fighting for—and recommit to building an even better future together.
Happy Canada Day! 🍁
@ElexiconEnergy In Port Hope - the outage issue to a tree on wires on Roseglen road. So far - it appears going on 4 hours later - nothing is still being done about it...
The outage map is not updating at this time. Currently there are approximately 13,000 customers without power in Ajax, Pickering, Clarington, Port Hope and Whitby. Crews are dispatched and working to restore power as safely and as quickly as possible. We are also working to restore the outage map functions. Updates will be provided here when available.
