Hanukkah celebrates a story of perseverance and resilience, one that reminds us to find light in the darkness and strength in standing together.

Tonight that celebration begins in the shadow of a brutal attack earlier today in Sydney, Australia.

Lee Cheuk-yan, former General Secretary of Hong Kong’s independent union federation, has been jailed since 2021 for organizing peaceful pro-democracy rallies. That’s not a crime, it’s courage.

Canada’s unions call for Lee's immediate release.

Being true to who you are in the midst of fear, hate, violence and intimidation takes tremendous courage. So many transgender people have lost their lives in that struggle; so many more have paid a heavy cost just for their own survival.

The Senate transport committee is reviewing how transport services handle labour disruptions. We’ve sent our submission to the committee. Our message: strong ferry service starts with fair bargaining and a real right to strike. ⚓

Today, we remember those who’ve fallen in wars past and present: those who fought, those who laboured, and those who simply tried to keep their families alive. They died on battlefields, in factories and in streets, schools and houses.

Today we remember. And we recommit ourselves to ending all war.
