A new Canadian study links precarious jobs to early death.

This isn’t just unfortunate - it’s the result of policy that allows low wages & unstable work.

BWA members are proving better jobs are possible & good for biz.

Missouri just voted in a $15/hr minimum wage and paid sick days.

Not just a win for workers — this is a win for smart business. Our Director @aaronbinder.com runs two businesses that already offer both.

What's the outcome? Lower turnover. Better customer experiences. Stronger teams.

This video is auto-posting on Friday April 12. We don't know if tariffs are on/off today.

But we know Canada's businesses are struggling. Rent & insurance = skyrocketing. We need fundamental changes, not tax cuts.

Golden Wheat Bakery on Toronto's College Street is gone after 32 years because of a giant rent hike.

Toronto retail rents have jumped 130% in 5 years - what business can afford this?

In some towns, increases hit 300%. Unaffordable rent hike are killing small businesses across Canada.

Wondering why your favourite small businesses keep disappearing? It's often not bad luck - it's bad rent.

To stop main street chainification - Ontario businesses need better this election. Fair rent, insurance & pathways to owning instead of renting.
