The Toronto & York Region Labour Council condemns the Israeli military’s illegal detention and assault of Chris Smalls, a human rights activist and trade unionist.
Canadians elected this government to fix what the last one broke — instead, Carney is deepening the crisis for working people.
Like Trump, Ford continues to prioritize his own pet projects and his developer and wealthy corporate pals.
In April, we elected a Liberal corporate banker as Prime Minister. In February, we re-elected a Conservative multi-millionaire business owner as Premier. Both election outcomes were largely motivated by concerns about Donald Trump.
The two parties leading the race, the Liberals and the Conservatives, are both advancing agendas which focus on the needs of businesses first to address the crisis, while only offering bread crumbs to working people. In order to prevent a recession and save jobs, swift action must be taken to protect Canadian industries, but actions which lead to intensifying austerity will only protect profits, not workers.
Working people across Canada, and around the world grow increasingly restless and disturbed by news coming from the United States. Now in his second term, Donald Trump, and his billionaire-backers like Elon Musk, are engaged in a vicious attack on working people to further enrich billionaires and wealthy corporations. This includes $4,5 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, and a $2 trillion cut in spending.
We’re fighting for a better future, one that Doug Ford has no part in.
The mounting threat of the far-right in Canada is reaching a level which can no longer be ignored. Their politics seek to set working people against one another, fueling racism and anti-immigrant sentiment, feeding on their anger so that the corporate forces in the country can continue to rob them blind.
