A federal budget analysis from @policyalternatives.ca CCPA

Post-election budget could plunge Canada into another federal election - CCPA
With so much on the line, the newly elected federal government has tabled a budget that, in many ways, could pass as a Conservative budget.

From ERs to factory floors, workers power Canada's economy. But too many of us are struggling. It's time our politicians take real action on housing, jobs, & public services.

In its current form, Bill C-5 is a gift to the fossil fuel industry. We have to move fast to pressure our MPs to improve the legislation, and make sure it puts people and the planet over corporate profits. Send a message now! win.newmode.net/350org/carney

For many 2SLGTBQI+ workers, hate and discrimination are part of daily life. This must stop.

The London and District Labour Council stands with the Canadian labour community in standing against homophobia, transphobia, intersexphobia and biphobia.

The London and District Labour Council and its members recognize Pride season by demanding that all parties take action to eliminate harassment and violence against 2SLGTBQI+ workers.

Ending harassment and violence at work is a collective responsibility. Let’s unite against hate. #onlab #canlab

@westernu.bsky.social says Navitas will help meet enrolment goals—but first year tuition will go to the International College, and students may not meet direct-entry standards.

How does this benefit Western—or its reputation?

@westernu.bsky.social says Navitas success = progression & graduation.

What about Year 1 performance?
What happens when tuition only flows in after Year 1?
Why are we using data that doesn't align?

Were still asking questions Western won't answer. #NoToNavitasUWO

Over 200 CUPE 2073 members at Canadian Hearing Services are on strike after CHS refused to bargain fairly.

These workers deliver vital services to Deaf and hard of hearing Ontarians. They deserve respect and a fair contract.
