Whether it’s dental care, services for Indigenous communities, climate action or public sector jobs – everything is on the chopping block except military spending. Not even Stephen Harper could dream of cuts this deep. Canadians didn't vote for this. cupe.ca/carneys-cuts-t…

Canada is still recovering from the damage the Liberal austerity budgets of the mid-90s inflicted on health care, housing & EI. We need strong @NDP representation in Parliament to protect our public services and our social safety net. My op-ed in @TheSpec thespec.com/opinion/contri…

Good to be in Huntsville today to join labour leaders at the Council of the Federation. Met with Premiers David Eby and Wab Kinew to talk about defending workers against Trump's threats, and joined workers and advocates from across Canada for a rally to defend public health care.

CUPE members working at WSIB and Villa Colombo have something in common: 1) both their employers need to stop the delay tactics and get back to the bargaining table 2) they'll both have the full support of our national union until they get a fair deal! cupe.ca/national-cupe-…

After a 987-day lockout, our members at the Port of Quebec are back on the job. Their employer tried to break their spirit and our government betrayed them more than once, but they never lost their determination. Let's hear it for these courageous workers! cupe.ca/returning-long…

.@MarkJCarney's decision to give labour a second-class seat at the cabinet table shows that workers matter even less than they did under Trudeau. In this pivotal moment for our country, workers should come first – not as an afterthought. cupe.ca/carneys-new-ca…

The murder of Walberto Quintero Medina is another example of the impunity with which trade unionists are killed in Colombia. @cupenat stands in solidarity with workers fighting corporate power and state violence in Colombia and around the world.

We know Poilievre would sell out public health care. But if you think Mark Carney wouldn't either, think again. Carney oversaw US-style profiteering in Australia that caused 6 million people to lose coverage. Think he won’t do the same here? cupe.ca/april-28-vote-…

When it comes to health care, @theJagmeetSingh gets it. CUPE members, especially our members in health care, know we need a leader who will strengthen public health care - not cut it like Mark Carney, or bring in US-style for-profit health care like Pierre Poilievre.

I see Poilievre made an announcement on pensions this morning. Seems like a good time to remind folks that (even though he qualified for a pension worth $120K/year at age 31) he will do everything he can to make sure you can never retire with dignity. cupe.ca/pierre-poiliev…

Amazing to be at the @CupeAB convention as we mark a huge win for education workers across Alberta. Premier Smith might have missed the memo about what happens when you pick a fight with CUPE. We never back down from a fight. When we fight, we win!

CUPE members and the labour movement have always risen to the occasion during challenging times. This is our moment. Let no one underestimate our determination to defend what must be defended.

Canada’s response cannot simply be “Buy Canadian.” The CEO of Loblaws is still going to be happy to price gouge you on maple syrup while wearing a maple leaf hat.

Trump's aggression against Canada has reminded us just how overdependent we are on the US. Canada’s response has to be about protecting the Canadian model. About strengthening public services, protecting our communities & building an economy that works for workers.

Canada’s economy and public services are under growing pressure. CUPE is calling for real action to protect jobs, strengthen infrastructure, and invest in public services—not more corporate handouts or privatization schemes. cupe.ca/sites/default/…

Poilievre has spent the last year saying Canada is broken and now that Trump is saying it, he's trying to convince us that he's the guy to stand up for Canada. The guy is a Trump wannabe. If you’re ok with Canada becoming the US’s 51st state, Pierre Poilievre is your guy.

All across Canada, premiers like Doug Ford are putting our public health care on life support instead of listening to workers and investing in the health of our communities. More privatization and more tax cuts won’t fix our public health care system. cupe.ca/line-gurneys-q…

When our jobs and our economy are under threat from billionaire oligarchs in the US, the answer isn’t to just hand over the keys to billionaire oligarchs in Canada. cupe.ca/cupe-president…

February is Black History Month - a time to celebrate the achievements, resilience, and contributions of Black communities in Canada. We're proud to stand in solidarity with Black workers in the fight against racism, discrimination, and inequality. cupe.ca/event/black-hi…
