The Liberal government has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to end a strike by Air Canada flight attendants fighting to end unpaid work and poverty wages, trampling workers' Charter Rights.

We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with, including the fact that they have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products, has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country. They are obviously copying the European Union, which has done the same thing, and is currently under discussion with us, also. Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately. We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

"In Hamilton, like most communities, the wealthiest (in yellow) now have greatly increased access to for-profit cataract surgeries, while access fell for everyone else (blue), the poorest faring worst. Public hospitals, CMAJ found, provide equal access regardless of income." M Hurley, CUPE/OCHU

As Ford privatizes cataract surgeries, access for the wealthiest in Ontario has grown by over 20% while it has declined for the rest of us, and by 9% for the most marginal. Wealthiest enclaves are in yellow on this map – the rest of us in blue. It’s the inverse of universality. M. HurleyCUPE/OCHU

In Canada:
The Canada Health Act bans user fees on patients for medically needed services.
Our public health insurance, paid by taxes, means Canadians are not charged for health care when they're sick, elderly and dying.
We do not have profiteering insurance companies denying claims to make billions in profit from the sick and the dying.

What defines us as Canadians? At our best, we believe in peacekeeping, we don't seek to be an empire. We believe in equity as a fundamental value. We embrace the cultural mosaic, not assimilation. We believe in compassion & a just society. We provide public health care for all.

VOTE!VOTE.
Many of the complaints from Ontarians stem from Ford's policies, not Trudeau's. This is because matters of healthcare, education, and property lie under provincial jurisdiction, not federal.
In the last provincial election of 2022, only 44% of Ontarians showed up to vote. This was the lowest voter turnout in Ontario history.
It also means that only 18% of Ontarians voted for Ford (Conservative).

The Ford govt spent more than $103.5 million in public money on advertising in the last year — the highest amount ever. Look at the actual record: a million Ontarians have lost their family doctors. Please consider public #healthcare when you vote. stopforprofithealthcare.ca
A million people lost their family doctors. In 2016 before the Ford Government was elected, 1.3 million Ontarians did not have a family doctor. By July 2024, there were 2.5 million Ontarians without a family doctor.   (green background, graphic images of people standing in line)

If you oppose DEI, you should have to use the full phrase instead of the letters. Be brave and say “I oppose Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”
Bonus points if you admit which part of that you don’t like.
Making it an acronym transforms it into a thought-terminating cliche.
From now on, be proud of your opinions, but be specific. Let everyone know if it’s diversity you don’t like, or if it’s equity, or if it’s being inclusive.

The ONDP have highlighted the following sell-offs by Dougie. He has walked back the Starlink deal after a number of days of public pressure during an election. Keep it up, and keep him out. The following as posted by Colin D'Mello, Global News.
Dear Doug Ford- 6 examples of sell- offs- weakend Canadian Content on subway vehicles and reduced worker opportunities in Thunder Bay. $600 million to break Beer Store contracts to help 7-11 Buddies, Walmart and Staples millions of dollars to their stores rather than keeping Service Ontario public, Starlink contract over 100 million, 99 year lease to Austrian company for luxury spa- that each of us subsidizes to $400  and destroyed Ontario Place, Tried to sell off the Greenbelt to developers and under RCMP investigation...Team Canada?
