One Project, One Year is smart policy.
The labour movement has long called for expedited permitting and cutting red tape so we can get shovels in the ground, cranes in the sky and our members on the job.
Canada cannot build at the speed or scale our economy demands if projects spend years tied up in process. Faster approvals, with safety, Indigenous consultation and environmental responsibility at the forefront, mean more certainty, more investment and more good union jobs.
It’s time to get Canada building.
In behalf of LiUNA, we look forward to ongoing collaboration with Sec of State for Labour @JZerucelli, Minister @PattyHajdu and the @MarkJCarney government to invest in workers, the jobs they sustain them and the future of our country.
🇨🇦
A friend of labour. A friend of LiUNA!
A pleasure to welcome Secretary of State for Labour @JZerucelli to the 27th International Union Convention with a message of strength, collaboration and power as we stand together, united, to build a stronger Canada and United States

“Being a leader is about making tough choices. Not everyone is going to like you. Not everyone is here to be your friend. Bur you’re here to do a job”
Great to hear from @KirkHerbstreit in an inspiring discussion with LiUNA @GPBrentBooker and the sweetest guest of honour, Peter
10 years ago, we stood together at the last in-person LiUNA International Convention.
This year will look a little different. Our family has grown, life has changed, and a decade has passed, but one thing never has: the pride we carry for our dad, @joemancinelli, and for everything this organization has given our family.
We have never taken for granted what it means to be part of @LIUNA. To have grown up surrounded by this union, its members and the values it represents. To watch our dad dedicate his life to building it stronger, always reminding us that leadership is never about one person, it’s about the people you serve and what you leave behind for the next generation.
LiUNA has given our family more than we could ever put into words. It has given us purpose, community and a family far bigger than our own.
Ten years later, we couldn’t be prouder to stand together again.
This is our union. This is our family. This is LiUNA.
See you all soon as we officially kick off the 27th LiUNA International Convention this morning!
The Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville was shot at tonight while worshippers gathered for Yom Kippur. This was a photo sent to me by a worshipper.
An officer was on duty and is being called a hero.
This is disgraceful.
No Jewish person in Belleville should ever have to fear walking into their synagogue. No family should have to wonder whether they are safe while worshipping.
To Belleville’s Jewish community: we stand with you tonight. You deserve to feel safe here.
And to the officer who put himself in harm’s way protecting others: thank you.
G’mar Chatima Tovah to my Jewish friends and families around the world 💙
As Yom Kippur begins this evening, my heart is with a community being forced, once again, to confront a hatred that has made being visibly and proudly Jewish carry a weight it never should.
And yet, there is something profoundly powerful about Jewish resilience.
For thousands of years, through persecution, displacement and attempts to erase a people and their identity, Jewish life has endured. Not quietly. Not apologetically. But proudly, carrying forward a light that hatred has never been able to extinguish.
Every prayer spoken. Every tradition passed from one generation to the next. Every family gathered around a table. Every person who chooses to live openly and proudly as a Jew. Each is a testament to a people who refused to disappear.
To my Jewish friends: you should never have to make yourselves smaller, quieter or less visibly Jewish to feel safe. Your identity is not something you should ever be forced to defend or apologize for. It is yours to carry with pride.
And may those of us who call ourselves allies understand that allyship cannot exist only when it is easy, popular or convenient. When hatred grows louder, our courage cannot grow quieter. Silence in the face of hate against our Jewish friends leaves those confronting it to stand alone.
May this sacred day bring reflection, healing and renewed hope. May the year ahead bring more courage in the face of hatred, greater humanity in the face of division, and a shared determination to leave the next generation a world where Jewish people never have to question whether it is safe to simply be who they are.
Standing proudly with you today, tomorrow and in all the days that follow.
G’mar Chatima Tovah. May you be sealed for a year of peace, strength and hope.
The best General Executive Board and LiUNA Family out there! Looking forward to a strong week ahead as we stand united to mark our 27th International Convention
Ontario’s skilled workers are building the province’s future.
@joemancinelli and @vcmancinelli from @LiUNACanada joined me for a discussion on apprenticeship training, workforce growth and how we can continue protecting workers across the province.
A strong first conversation, and I look forward to working together to create more opportunities for Ontario workers.
.@LIUNA always leading the way. How friggen cool is our organization!
The Men and Women behind the @BuffaloBills new stadium, built and powered by the strength, skill and determination of unionized labour!
LiUNA proud!
LiUNA strong!
Before kickoff, before the lights, before the roar of the crowd, there was a crew of LABORERS on site getting it done. Meet the men and women behind the BUFFALO Bills' new stadium. "BUILDING BUGALO", Part 1. TONIGHT. 7 PM ET on NFL Network.
Minister @DavidPiccini approached the portfolio with energy, conviction and a willingness to listen. He did not treat engagement with labour as a formality.
He came to our training centres, met directly with workers and apprentices, heard from women building careers in the trades and listened to the people whose experience on jobsites should inform the decisions made at Queen’s Park.
Most importantly, he acted.
More of my thoughts here with @DCN_Canada as we continue to work together to build a resilient Ontario!
Industry Perspectives Op-Ed: From policy to the jobsite, building on a record of respect for workers.
@LiUNACanada's @vcmancinelli writes about the impact former Ontario labour minister @DavidPiccini made and what he will take to his new government role.

Every antizionist who believes they’re “on the right side of history” while defending a dude who literally does Nazi salutes in Jewface needs to realize how profoundly they have been brainwashed into being the foot soldiers of a global anti-Jew agenda without realizing it.
LiUNA members work day in and day out to build a stronger Ontario!
Great meeting with @TrevorJonesCKL, Minister of Labour, Immigration and Skills Development as we continue to work together to invest in workers, advance apprenticeship and build up opportunities for our skilled workforce and their families
Great meeting with Minister @TrevorJonesCKL today.
Strong partnerships deliver results for workers. LiUNA looks forward to continued collaboration, as we work to advance opportunities, strengthen our skilled trades and ensuring workers remain at the centre of Ontario’s growth!
What we build today is about so much more than what stands tomorrow. It’s about the opportunities we create, the values we pass on and the future we leave in the hands of the next generation.
From one generation to the next, one union, one family.
LiUNA Strong!
There was nothing quiet about the support for unions.
LiUNA worked closely with @PierrePoilievre and his team to not only repeal anti union legislation, but help shape policy that recognizes, invests in and creates greater opportunities for unionized workers across Canada.
Following months of on-the-ground work, listening and meaningful engagement with the men and women who build our country, these measures were announced at LiUNA’s Cambridge Training and Education Centre back in April 2025.
Throughout that work, @PierrePoilievre took the time, and continues to take the time, to engage directly with our members, hear their experiences and understand the realities facing workers and their families.
Good policy starts by listening to the people it impacts. We appreciate the collaboration and look forward to continue working together to strengthen opportunities for our members, the skilled trades and working families across Canada.
The Conservative party quietly stripped support for right-to-work legislation from its official policy book earlier this year, an unannounced change that underscores Pierre Poilievre's effort to shed a position long https://t.co/OWZfAI5mFc
Great to sit down with Ontario’s new Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development, @TrevorJonesCKL, to talk about the priorities that matter most to LiUNA’s more than 120 000 members across Ontario and the future of our skilled trades.
Minister, thank you for the open and productive conversation and for hitting the ground running! We look forward to being a strong partner at the table, bringing the voices and experiences of our members forward, finding solutions and continuing to build greater opportunities for workers and their families across Ontario.
