Canada’s unions call for stronger action on jobs and public services | Canadian Labour Congress OTTAWA—Today’s federal budget lands at a moment of deep uncertainty. Workers are facing rising prices, a growing trade crisis, and public programs stretched to the limit. With U.S. tariffs already…

Our message to Parliament is simple: cuts don’t create jobs. Budget 2025 missed the mark, but MPs can still fix it. Canada’s unions are calling on the government to improve the budget and ensure it delivers for working people. ⤵️

They discussed concerns regarding artificial intelligence, including its impact on workers, public safety, and its threat to our democracy.

As well, they talked to the Minister about ICBC now that the Corporation has been returned to the Attorney General’s portfolio.

COPE strongly condemns the Government of Alberta and Premier Danielle Smith’s assault on the rights of the striking teachers in Alberta by invoking the notwithstanding clause to force teachers back to work. No matter how the Government of Alberta attempts to frame it, this is nothing but an attack on the fundamental rights of teachers who are exercising their rights as workers and doing their part to defend public education and students in Alberta by asking the government to address critical issues that are affecting the educational experience, including class sizes and the need for student support. By taking this action, the Government of Alberta is also showing they have little regard for workers’ rights in general and would be willing to use this method to attack workers and union members in any sector as they see fit. Our union, and our tens of thousands of members across the country, stands in solidarity with the teachers in Alberta, and with the Alberta Teachers’ Association, in their continued efforts to defend public education and workers’ rights in the face of a government that has shown little regard for either.
