The deep respect and affection we have for Ed Broadbent (@broadbent) was forged in the good fight for social and economic justice over many decades. Tonight, our hearts are with Ed's family and friends around the globe. There will be more to say in the days ahead.
As #OntAgWeek ends, remember that the migrants who make your thanksgiving meal possible are excluded from holidays, holiday pay, and time with our loved ones. We feed you, we deserve the same rights!
Do you agree?

Live Nation announced that it would end merch cuts at some of its venues.

Good to hear @sflecce and ON govt have heard that they must raise child care wages. But the boost has to be significant to solve the workforce crisis. We need a scale starting at $30/hr for ECEs and $25/hr for non-ECE staff members. #WorthMore

We'll never forget the fearless leadership of Charles Pascal and his insatiable hunger for promising solutions to giant-sized problems. https://t.co/nItGdU3FVy #philanthropy#cdnpoli#ONpoli#cdnmedia
Win for PSAC workers would be a win for us all.

We are among those who are shocked and saddened by the news that Dr. Charles Pascal (@CEPascal) has died. Charles was our founding executive director from 1996 to 2010. Our hearts are with his family and close friends tonight. There will be more to say in the days ahead.
Today, @bcgeu's shareholder proposal at @BMO calling for a racial equity audit co-filed w/@share_ca on behalf of the @AtkinsonCF earned 37%. Here is the statement I shared with investors in support of this resolution. A thread 🧵 1/14
It is always sad when a beloved team member moves on, but @noraepc you will shine in your new role in Councillor @ausmalik's office! Look forward to working with you in your new capacity to create a more just, democratic #Toronto. #decentwork#faireconomies#democracy
Our @noraepc begins her new #Toronto City Hall job w/ Councillor @ausmalik today. For 5 years, we relied on her sharp thinking, organizing wizardry and timely gifs. She's left us with great memories and a few #wickedquestions abt #democracy + #decentwork. https://t.co/NhH3f6e1sI
