Alberta separatists are running to Trump, offering our oil and water in exchange for American support to break up Canada. A traitor to this country doesn’t have to wear a foreign flag. Sometimes they wave ours while selling out our future. This is a national emergency. Alberta is not for sale.

Danielle Smith is using your tax dollars to sell her political agenda. This referendum booklet is propaganda. It blames newcomers for her government’s failures and pushes constitutional changes without telling Albertans the truth. You deserve better than this political garbage paid for by you.

“Carney is tilting the scales in the favour of employers.” Marty Warren, National Director of USW, is right. Carney talks about protecting workers while his gov’t undermines their bargaining power, weakens their right to strike, and puts corporate interests first. www.thespec.com/opinion/cont...

The Carney government is tilting the scales in the favour of employers

He is seeking more ways to intervene in strikes whenever the national economic interest is at stake.

Honoured to join German & U.S. representatives in Windsor as we met with Unifor Locals 444 & 200 to talk about the future of Canada’s auto sector. Canada’s auto industry contributes $17 billion to our GDP. Trump’s tariffs put good jobs and working-class families on both sides of the border at risk.

On this National Day for Truth & Reconciliation we reflect on our history and the colonialism and neocolonialism that continue to shape our country today. Indigenous leaders are leading the fight for human rights in our country. Truth & Reconciliation means listening to those leaders.

Met with PSAC workers this morning who are fighting for a fair deal. The Bank of Canada should respect workers’ rights, stop replacing highly trained in-house security officers with contractors & SCABS, & get back to the table. Public institutions should protect workers, not undermine them.

Let’s be clear: Question 10 is separation. The other nine are a slow walk toward it. These racist questions divide Albertans and scapegoats immigrants. It’s shameful. That’s not the Alberta we should be building. No to the nine. Yes to Canada. 🇨🇦 www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

I met with Unifor & IAM workers today to talk about the federal government’s plan to privatize Canada’s airports. The international record is clear. Privatization has not delivered better service, lower costs or stronger workers’ rights. Our airports should serve Canadians, not corporate profits.
