Big turnout in TO in support of migrants rights & #StatusforAll including speaker Shaziya @UniforTheUnion member of Local 414 from Metro talking about struggles faced by international students in the workplace and power of unions & collective action in the fight for equal rights
To those clutching their dogmatic pearls, criticizing @cafreeland for doing her job - saying she will use the tools of government to deal with the current affordability crisis made much worse by interest rates - relax and get a grip.
Cdns actually need govt to act!

The @fordnation attack on education workers is an attack on us all said @NaureenRizvi1 in report to #ORC19.
"We’re set to lose 10,000 teachers. We can’t afford to lose one." #Unifor#onpoli
LTC workers are caring in crisis. @fordnation, you need to witness the dangerous conditions in homes, then implement the solutions that have been clear for years now. Will you accept my challenge of spending 1 day working in along-term care home #fordchallenge
Loving the fact that the #orc19 young workers committee organized a panel on how to get political and where to start organizing! Thanks to @ShayneFields4@dhunnasim for spending your Friday night with the young workers caucus! #15andfairness
Andrew Scheer will cost hard-working Canadians.
Tax cuts to help the wealthy don’t raise wages. He has no real plan to deal with the cost-of-living crisis, housing affordability, or stagnant wages.

I stand in solidarity w/ @UniforTheUnion Local 597. It would be easy to give up but these folks have persevered for nearly 630 days & need your support. Defending workers’ rights is rarely easy. It’s messy & uncomfortable but it’s necessary. #canlab https://t.co/zQzHtSaCV9
