The transfer of the non-permissible surplus w/o providing adequate benefits to workers is a direct attack on the retirement security of 700,000 current & former public service workers who pay into the plan. Canada, let's vote to protect pensions. #psac #psacbc #cdnpoli Read more: www.foryoucanada.ca

This day is more than wearing pink—it’s a call to action. Bullying, homophobia, & transphobia persist, and right-wing attacks on gender-inclusive policies put lives at risk. From anti-SOGI rhetoric in BC to harmful talk from fed parties, we must hold political leaders accountable. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #pinkshirtday

The Lib government’s plan to raid $9.3 billion from the federal public service pension surplus is a betrayal of Canada’s public service workers & sets the stage for other attacks on the pension security of millions of workers in Canada. It’s not too late to fix this. Take action! stoppensiontheft.ca

The Liberal Government is raiding surplus funds from the Federal Public Service Pension Plan, betraying 700,000+ workers who rely on it for retirement security.
