And of course the long awaited anti-scab legislation, to name a few.

Our job now as trade unionists is to protect these advances and push for more.

We have a moment to do so. /7

To build a strong, robust Canadian economy where we build big things here at home, where we invest in Canada, where we put Cdn workers first.

You will continue to hear us talk about industrial strategies as they can carry our economy forward to a more resilient place. 8/

We are indeed at a critical time in the world.

This will be a very difficult year for Canada and it will require serious leadership.

Slogans won’t cut it. 9/

The chaos-driven Trump agenda will have to be tackled as the very serious threat it poses to our country, our economy and to Canadian workers.

I want to be clear, this is not a time to kowtow to a Trump-led United States. /10

This is a time to be firm, to stand on guard for our country and to fight like never before.

Smart. Strategically. But fight. Elbows out.

We need serious leadership that will stand up for Canadians, Canadian jobs and this country.

Because the moment requires it. /11

Solidarity friends.

Anti-scab legislation? Too bad that didn't help CUPW when the government decided their strike was annoying and forced them back to work without a contract.

He literally broke strikes. Multiple strikes. Like, workers were striking for better working conditions, and pmjt and the liberals forced them back to work. Multiple times.
