Right now, Indigenous sovereignty and the right to self-determination are under attack. The provincial and federal government have introduced sweeping legislation that threatens treaty rights, overrides environmental and social protections, and puts our shared future in peril.
Name one thing that’s getting better under Ford’s government. #ONPoli
Emergency room wait times are going to get worse in Ontario. Long ER wait times and shutdowns are predictable consequences of Ontario’s chronic lack of investment in health care. It continues to rely on short-term fixes disguised as solutions. #Opinion trib.al/mK0W4AU
As premiers from across Canada met, members joined @HealthCoalition, fellow unions and community allies to rally in defense of public health care. United in solidarity we sent a strong message, this is OUR public health care system and we will never stop fighting to protect it.
A good discussion about how the Ontario public college system got to this point. 👇 theglobeandmail.com/podcasts/the-d…
While @fordnation didn’t invite Labour to events & left prior in the middle of a breakfast with nurses & labour reps, @Dave_Eby spoke with fed presidents for over an hour & @WabKinew stopped by to connect. This is what leadership, who values all labour, looks like. Take notes
We were proud to join today's @OntarioHealthC rally in Huntsville during the Council of the Federation. Together, we're sending a strong message: protect and strengthen public healthcare, no privatization!
The neck gaiters issued to Ontario forest firefighters are “not acceptable as a stand-alone control to reduce exposure,” documents show. trib.al/W73e5Hf
The deep spending cuts called for by PM Carney’s government yesterday will weaken the programs that people depend on. This could result in thousands of public service job cuts impacting PSAC members, their families and communities across the country. 1/2 ctvnews.ca/politics/artic…
John Tibbits, President of Conestoga College, took home $636,106 last year. Now, the college is rationing air conditioning to "cost-save" in the midst of a heat wave, with staff raising alarm about growing temperatures inside. Dystopian. #ONpoli #ONpse kitchener.citynews.ca/2025/07/09/sta…
#Breaking: More than 10,000 Ontario college staff laid off, 600 programs cancelled or suspended over past year trib.al/iQJYqiM
To be clear: this is a manufactured crisis. We can fight it and win. Full story at The Toronto Star. thestar.com/news/canada/ne…
Not the happiest of anniversaries, but a good reminder of how determined Ford is to tear down the OSC.
Happy one-year anniversary to my (still unfinished) freedom of information request for communications about the science centre closure involving 4 staffers over 3 days in 2024. To celebrate, read this story based on an FOI that did come back. #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/10878274/…
Tens of millions of dollars would go a long way in funding our schools and hospitals and creating jobs. But no you’re right, Doug - commercials on Fox News are a much better investment for Ontarians. #ONPoli
NEW: Ontario budgeted $52M for pro-Ontario commercials that were meant to fend off U.S. tariffs. A large chunk of it was spent on Fox News, U.S. President Trump's favourite media network. globalnews.ca/news/11259665/… #onpoli
Tearing up bike lanes and giving “pedal pubs” booze. I wonder what could go wrong? #ONPoli
NEW - The Ford government will allow alcohol to be served on so-called “Pedal Pubs’ starting this summer, 680 NewsRadio has learned. The pubs-on-wheels allow riders to peddle while they drink. The driver, who remains sober, does the steering. toronto.citynews.ca/2025/06/27/ped…
June 23–29 is Developmental Services Worker Appreciation Week – a time to recognize the amazing contributions of developmental services workers across Ontario.
In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.
📢 Support striking Hearing Services workers! 📍 Thurs, June 26 | 12–1 PM | Bloor & Spadina (NE corner) CHS staff have faced wage freezes, understaffing & disrespect — while the CEO rakes in $340K. Let’s show up in solidarity! ✊🏽 #Justice4Workers justice4workers.org/2025_06_26_sup…
We encourage all members to take this opportunity to reflect, learn, and stand in solidarity. Visit OPSEU/SEFPO’s Indigenous History Month blog post for resources and ways to take action: opseu.org/news/national-…
On National Indigenous Peoples Day, we honour and celebrate the rich cultures, traditions, and enduring contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Turtle Island. In a settler nation like Canada, solidarity must mean action. #NIPD2025
Its too late to say sorry. First Nations & Labour are walking together to protect Ontario. Proud to join @NANComms on this joint statement. @OFLabour ofl.ca/joint-statemen…
