MBLL profits - $600M

Spoke w/ @PMTrudeau about the Ford govt’s unprecedented use of the Notwithstanding Clause. The federal govt must intervene w/ the Disallowance Clause to stop Ford from taking a sledgehammer to workers’ rights. These actions demand a strong response. #StandWithCUPE#onlab#canlab

The truth is Heather, you didn’t actually add 60 nurses to the ICU, you MOVED 60 nurses from other places and in doing so, you left another gaping hole in our system. The duct tape is coming off one way or another. The frontlines see the fault lines and the truth is coming out.

37/38 why is @WinnipegTA still waiting. Feeling so undervalued, feeling disrespected, feeling unappreciated. We deserve a contract as much as the other divisions. Do the right thing @WinnipegSD
Teachers do incredible work and they have gone above and beyond for students this year.

We support a #fairdealforteachers
CLC zoom call speaking with PM about importance of safety equipment, improving supports to working families, value of strong public services. #mflabour#CLC
Apparently there are folks accusing me of pushing or hitting a reporter in Alberta.
I have been busy in Manitoba in court defending our right to collective bargaining.
I abhor violence against women and actively try to raise awareness to stop it
