There’s no place like Winnipeg, my hometown, and a city built on worker power. I’m proud to welcome thousands of workers, leaders, and delegates here for our 31st Constitutional Convention as we continue building what comes next.

Heartbroken by the devastating tragedy in Tumbler Ridge. Our hearts are with the families, loved ones, and the entire community grieving this unimaginable loss. Thank you to the first responders and frontline workers who are on the ground during this horrific time.

No more blank cheques for corporations. No more bad trade deals. No deal is better than a bad deal. Workers deserve an economy built with them, not behind closed doors.

Aviation safety isn’t a political bargaining chip. Using certification to score political points puts workers’ jobs and public safety at risk on both sides of the border. Decisions about safety belong to experts, not politicians.

We stand with the people of Minnesota and the American labour movement in voicing our outrage against the killing of a young woman by ICE. Workers standing up for one another includes fighting to defend the rights of immigrant workers and their families. An injury to one is an injury to all.

Individuals living with a disability deserve to live in dignity. Achieving that requires a a disability benefit that makes it possible. Even more so, workers want pathways to meaningful employment with a fair wage. Let’s not focus on this issue only one day per year.

This is outrageous. Algoma Steel took public money, our money, and paid workers back with pink slips. When I was in Sault Ste. Marie earlier this year, workers and USW leaders warned this exact thing would happen without real job protections.

Today, I’ll be joining hundreds of workers on Parliament Hill for #CLCLobby Day. We’re bringing big energy and bold ideas to every meeting. When workers unite, change follows. Let’s show the power of our movement.

Bill 9 is cruelty disguised as policy. Using the notwithstanding clause to block gender-affirming care for trans Albertans during Trans Week of Awareness is a disgrace.

CFL players are workers — covered by a collective agreement, but not by workers’ comp. With a 100% injury rate & avg career of just 3.5 years, that’s unacceptable. Grateful to meet the Canadian Football League Players Association's leaders today to talk change. 🏈 #CFL #canlab

Even the Bank knows it can't fix affordability on its own. Today's rate cut is a step in the right direction, but workers need action from the federal government: stop the cuts and start investing in people.

It’s a wrap! Union leaders gathered in Ottawa to strategize as workers face rising costs, a housing crisis, strained public services, and trade tensions. Canada’s unions are calling for urgent action to protect jobs, strengthen the economy, and support families.

The Bank of Canada cut interest rates today. That’s a step, but it’s not enough. Lower rates won’t fix a broken economy. Workers need affordable homes, good jobs, and strong public services. #cdnpoli
