Bill C-39 doubles down on habitat offsets, in which companies can "build" new habitat elsewhere to compensate for what they destroy in building a mine, a port, a pipeline or other project. The practice is highly contested by scientists. “This is our worst fear,” said biologist Misty MacDuffee.

While we await the details of the US trade negotiations, I'm urging the Prime Minister not to grant any concessions that would further undermine our economic independence.
Black text on a beige background: For the benefit of all the workers affected - in every industry from steel and aluminum to autos, forestry and more - a good deal with the US would be great news. But while we await the details, I’m urging the Prime Minister not to grant any concessions that would further undermine our economic independence.

We are dealing with a President who trades in chaos and unpredictability: there is no deal that will bring an end to the threats and uncertainty. For this reason, protecting Canadian workers without granting further unilateral concessions is essential. 

And the Keystone XL pipeline is a concession that makes no sense whatsoever - for our economy, our sovereignty, or the climate. Earlier this year, the Energy Minister said repeatedly that he wants to help the US achieve “energy dominance”. This should obviously not be any part of a trade deal between our two countries.

Canadians are not in the mood for more giveaways to the Trump administration. Even if that means walking away from the table to protect Canadian workers and industries.

No deal is better than a bad deal.

Canadian corporations are facilitating oil exploration and drilling by a U.S. firm in Greenland – without approval by Greenland’s government.

The Canadian Government must not allow Canadian corporations and Canadian ports to play a role in helping the U.S. and U.S. corporations force oil exploration and drilling onto Greenland. But a “Greenland Energy representative has said a vessel carrying its 300 shipping containers of drilling equipment is to set sail from Canada on 12 September [2026]” from the Port of Valleyfield in Quebec.

From a comms perspective, politicians don't quietly launch a new “consultation” and “review” of the Canada Labour Code if you want broad worker participation and expect it to lead to pro-worker outcomes. #CdnPoli
But the health threat has only taken a new form, from viral to smoke particles, demonstrating what a mistake it was to cut paid sick days. Unfortunately, a new “consultation” and “review” of the Canada Labour Code, which enshrines 10 paid sick days for federally regulated workers, has been quietly launched by Prime Minister Mark Carney. There is a risk that the government will restrict or even cut the allotted sick days.
