Last week in my hometown of Winnipeg, 2,000+ union activists at #CLC2026 sent a clear message to Danielle Smith: Our health care is NOT for sale.
Public health care is one of the things that defines us as Canadians and we are ready to fight to protect it.

He's terrible. I hope he remembers 2022 when his government thought it could bully education workers into a contract and was humbled by a united labour movement.
On May 9, 1992, a methane explosion killed 26 miners at the Westray Mine in Nova Scotia. A public inquiry found that the mine owners and managers ignored safety concerns raised by the miners and their union.
Great rally today by Mama Earth workers protesting mass layoffs of unionized workers in their workplace! CEO Ran Goel fired all 102 unionized workers (while keeping non-unionized workers) and is moving the company to Mississauga, where the collective agreement will not apply.
@Martin_Lukacs and Deena Newaz of @springmagca debate how Avi Lewis’ win raises new, interesting questions: how should the Canadian left relate to the party now?
Can the NDP become a vehicle for mass socialist politics? https://t.co/fO4WjWRPs3
First union contract negotiated with Walmart in North America! Wage gains and structural fairness are key features of a new collective agreement voted on last night by Unifor Local 252 members.
