A refreshing reminder that strong unions don't just improve wages and working conditions, they build a stronger economy for everyone. It's time for the government to put workers at the centre of its economic agenda.   Great op-ed in the @theglobeandmail.com: www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

You can't "tough it out" through extreme heat or wildfire smoke. As climate risks grow, workplace protections must grow with them. Keeping workers safe means treating climate change as a health and safety issue. Read @clcpresident.bsky.social's latest op-ed: www.ohscanada.com/opinions/our...

New inflation data out today and wow what can you say about these Alberta car insurance rates other than ... wow. 😳
Car insurance prices in Alberta have far outpaced every other province

Alberta is now at an index value of more than 400. No other province is above 250.

An index value of 100 is equal to the average price for insurance in Canada over all 12 months of 2002.
