So much for ‘Canada strong’: Mark Carney’s cuts to the public service are a brutal trade-off. Pre-election, the Liberals promised more affordable housing, more Via, more CBC and more Canadian culture. Post-election, the narrative has changed. #Opinion trib.al/SoBSCb6

Huge cuts to public services at a time when we need all hands on deck to defend our country from Donald Trump's trade war is not what Canadians voted for.

Prime Minister Mark Carney promised “caps, not cuts,” but this week’s 15% budget slash is austerity by another name. These cuts will hurt the public services Canadians rely on. Read more: psacunion.ca/psac-raises-al…

Public service workers are already stretched thin. More cuts mean fewer workers with fewer resources delivering the services for the people who need them most.

Avant de jouer avec l’IA, le gouvernement devrait tirer des leçons de ce fiasco. Qu’il consulte les vrais experts : les fonctionnaires qui effectuent le travail chaque jour.

Before the government tries to take on AI, they should learn their lessons from the Phoenix pay disaster first. Consult with the experts: the workers who do the job every day.

There are real ways to find savings, cutting services shouldn’t be the first option. Remote work has proven to save billions. Let’s focus on delivering services efficiently and consult with workers who know best.

MEDIA RELEASE: Public service workers to take strike vote following impasse “Workers are facing an affordability crisis and if wages don’t keep up with the cost of living, we lose skilled workers – at a time when we need a strong public service the most," said Paul Finch, BCGEU…

Wildland firefighters are on the frontlines of the climate crisis, risking their lives to protect people, our environment, and our communities. They are dedicated workers doing critical, dangerous work. We are proud of them and thank them for their service.

Les pompières et pompiers forestiers sont aux premières loges de la crise climatique, risquant leur vie pour protéger la population et l’environnement. Leur travail est dangereux, mais essentiel. À ces personnes dévouées : vous êtes une fierté pour le Canada. Merci d’être là!

Public service workers are people with lives, interests, and votes. Cut their jobs, gut critical services, and don’t be surprised when it costs you a seat. Or a government. Choose wisely. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

The Carney government’s proposed cuts to the federal public service go even deeper than Harper’s in 2012. This means fewer frontline workers, fewer services, and harder times for people across the country. Workers and communities will pay the price.

PM Carney’s plan for deep cuts risks the biggest defunding of public services since the 1990s, just when people need strong public services the most. Slashing jobs won’t strengthen the economy. It will hurt workers and gut the services we all rely on. canadianlabour.ca/canadas-unions…

Le premier ministre Carney a promis de plafonner sans couper. Pourtant, les compressions de 15 % annoncées cette semaine ressemblent à s'y méprendre à une mesure d'austérité. Les services publics dont on dépend vont en souffrir. Pour en savoir plus : syndicatafpc.ca/lafpc-sonne-la…

“This is a manufactured crisis [in] a system that has deliberately been starved of funding...this isn’t just about the immediate loss of good jobs in those communities, this is also about the future of local, rural and northern economies.” @JPHornick #OntEd #OnPoli #ONPSE
