RSVP: The People's Forum
Doug Ford is shutting down debate to rush through two new laws, Bill 33 and Bill 60. So we're convening The People's Forum to hear from working people on the front lines who deserve to be heard before...

It’s been 400 days since Bill 173 Intimate Partner Epidemic Act 2024 was debated. 400 days without a declaration, meaningful actions, or supports for survivors. 400 days fighting for justice.

Windsor has one of the highest unemployment rates in Canada, and Ontarians are struggling with the soaring cost of living. Yet, Doug Ford’s 2025 budget fails to deliver. No real support for families. No real investment in jobs, healthcare, or education. We deserve better. #ONpoli

Thousands of workers are waking up every morning not sure if they’re going to have a job to go to.
So Doug Ford can point fingers and try to divert responsibility all he wants — what I’m concerned about is his ability to run a government.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Happy Halloween. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich. For working people, it's been 40 years of all trick and no treat. Enough.

Millions of taxpayer dollars flowing into the pockets of the same well-connected insiders and lobbyists who donated to the Conservatives? Sounds like preferential treatment.

🚨 The Renters’ Rights Bill has now received Royal Assent.
From ACORN's very first meeting in Bristol over a decade ago, we identified ending unfair evictions as a key demand for our campaigning and a key wrong to right for our class.

🚨 This is a huge victory for the organised tenant movement after YEARS of organising.
We need to go further, and we’ll keep fighting for more, but the biggest change to renters rights in a generation is worth celebrating.
This wasn’t handed to us from above, we won it💪

The Renters' Rights Bill has been APPROVED by the House of Commons!
This is the final step before the Bill receives Royal Assent, which we expect shortly.
No more amendments, no more debate - renters' rights are coming.
