What’s happening in the US is the result of decades of declining education and civic literacy. When critical thinking erodes, people become easy targets for lies and strongman promises. That’s how democracies slide into fascism—through apathy not overnight.

Today, we remember the workers who died, were injured or became ill as a result of their job. Everyone has a right to come home at the end of the day. We will continue to work toward that goal in partnership with workers, the labour movement and employers.

Poilievre would require a referendum for every federal tax increase??? First, a referendum would be incredibly expensive (electoral reform would have cost $300 million, for example) Second, good luck ever raising taxes again (including on the rich!)

Trump announced that there will be no Tariffs in April, just when we are having an election here and Danielle Smith had a telephone conversation telling him PP aligns with Maga.This is a pause to help Polievre win the election. I don’t trust him for even a nanosecond second.

Trump pardoned drug traffickers, Republican elected officials, business cronies, lawyers, friends, and campaign officials. He has since promised to pardon the January 6th terrorists and wants to use the office of president to pardon himself. Biden did the right thing by pardoning his son.

I don’t get it. Trudeau took his teen daughter to a Taylor Swift concert and ensured she had a great time by dancing with her and trading bracelets. Basically just being an awesome parent. The right have lost their little pea sized minds over this. I can’t imagine Polievre doing this in any universe
