In our communities…
Across our country…
And around the world…
Workers are under attack.
Hard fought rights to collectively bargain, to strike, to
protect our jobs are in danger.
The public services our families… our friends… our
neighbours depend on are being threatened.
Investments in the future of our towns and cities are
being set aside for corporate tax breaks.
Canadian jobs are being sacrificed for trade deals…
that take away our control of our own communities…
and ignore human rights for profits.
Our public health care system is being chipped away
putting patients at risk.
People in need of homecare, long-term care… and
child care are being left behind
11 million Canadians are without a work place
pension.
In the last half century… it has never been as
important as it is now…
For us to stand up… be united… and say…
No more.
