Budget 2026 takes some welcome steps on affordability, but falls short on protecting workers.

Nearly $100 billion in business incentives, yet major gaps remain in worker protections and public services.

Economic growth should benefit working people, too.

[Bea Bruske, CLC President @PresidentCLC]

This is why people need the right to strike. #Budget2026

Workers in the U.S. are showing what’s possible when they organize and push back. There’s a lesson here: don’t give in to Trump. @MarkJCarney as your govt continues talks with the U.S stay the course. Canada’s unions have been clear: No deal is still better than a bad deal

This is what worker power looks like! ✊

Congratulations to my friend @LizShuler
and all the workers who helped deliver this massive electoral victory.

Your union family in Canada is celebrating with you!

When we stand together, we win!

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

The blue wave is union-made. Working people voted in massive numbers to take power back from the Trump admin and its billionaire allies, hold wealthy elites accountable, and build the economy we deserve. This is our country. Tonight, we took it back. https://t.co/v3c9NFZI9A

[Bea Bruske, CLC President @PresidentCLC]

Higher interest rates won’t end Trump’s trade war. They won’t bring down oil prices or stop a war in Iran.

But they will make mortgages and loans more expensive, and put even more pressure on families and businesses.

This is a bad call.

My heart goes out to everyone affected by the tragedy at CFB Wainwright, especially those grieving loved ones and recovering from injuries.

We are deeply grateful to the first responders, healthcare workers and everyone who stepped up when it was needed most. @UNDEUEDN

Devastating news from Hamilton.

To @USW1005 members: Canada’s unions stand with you.

We need to fight for these jobs with every tool we have and build an economy where workers come first.

Workers’ rights are not up for trade.

The IAM Union is raising concerns about Bill C-39 and what its labour provisions could mean for workers across Canada.

Read our full statement: https://t.co/KDKFzSXSbI

[Bea Bruske, CLC President @PresidentCLC]

Right there with you, Mark.

When workers’ rights are under attack, we stand together and we push back.

The right to strike is fundamental. We will defend it.

[Mark Hancock @MarkHancockCUPE]

Generations of workers have fought, bled, and even died for the rights the Liberals aim to wipe out with a stroke of a pen with Bill C-39. If this is a fight the Liberals want to have, we’ll be all in.

[Bea Bruske, CLC President @PresidentCLC]

The right to strike is non-negotiable.
Employers already hold enormous power over jobs and investment. Workers balance that power through collective bargaining, including the right to strike.

@MarkJCarney , workers’ bargaining power is part of Canada’s national interest.

[Bea Bruske, CLC President @PresidentCLC]

.@alexboulerice, mon ami,

Tu quittes Ottawa, mais certainement pas la lutte!

You’ve always been a champion for workers and helping win anti-scab legislation is one hell of a legacy.

Thank you for your friendship, and your solidarity.

On se revoit sur les lignes de piquetage!

Canada’s Unions support the Prime Minister’s decision to walk away from a bad deal.

Now we must protect workers and communities on the frontlines of this trade war.

Let’s get to work. https://t.co/lZfcjJLdRP

[Bea Bruske, CLC President @PresidentCLC]

Walking away from a bad deal is the right choice for Canada.

The road ahead will be tough. But we’re all in this together. We must use our leverage to force Trump to back down.

And we must focus on protecting workers and communities impacted by Trump’s trade war.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

My statement on Canada-U.S. trade negotiations:

[Bea Bruske, CLC President @PresidentCLC]

We stand with Team Canada as it works toward a strong and fair agreement that benefits workers on both sides of the border. As these negotiations enter a critical stage, now is the time to stay united and make sure that whatever comes next delivers for workers. #cdnpoli

[Bea Bruske, CLC President @PresidentCLC]

As trade unionists, we know what it takes to win at the negotiating table against a powerful counterpart. It takes strength, clarity, unity. It means knowing your bottom line, understanding your leverage and potentially using it. Sometimes it means walking away from a bad deal.

[BNN Bloomberg @BNNBloomberg]

Carney speaks with Trump, calls trade negotiations ‘very intense and delicate’: Live tariff updates here. https://t.co/8RkLINtsAE

[Bea Bruske, CLC President @PresidentCLC]

Workers need a deal that protects good jobs, strengthens our economy and delivers real stability for workers and communities. Canada must hold firm on our interests and our red lines, while also having a clear plan to support workers and communities if tariffs come into effect.

[Bea Bruske, CLC President @PresidentCLC]

We mourn the loss of Jeff Sloychuk, a longtime advocate and leader in the NDP and Canada’s labour movement. His commitment to working people helped shape the better future we continue to fight for today.
My deepest condolences to his family, friends and loved ones.

[Bea Bruske, CLC President @PresidentCLC]

Yesterday, we lost a great friend of the labour movement, Geraldine McGuire. Through her work as @cupenat’s secretary-treasurer and former CUPE BC president, she fought tirelessly for workers, equality and justice. Her leadership and solidarity will be deeply missed.

[Bea Bruske, CLC President @PresidentCLC]

Collective bargaining works. Congratulations to CUPE WestJet flight attendants on their tentative agreement. Unpaid work won’t fly.
