Statement by @lanapayne.bsky.social on tariff pause

Canada must hit back hard and fast as Trump declares economic war on Canadian workers TORONTO— Canada must retaliate swiftly and definitively to the unjust imposition of a sweeping 25% tariff on Canadian goods and 10% tariff on energy imported to the United States, says Unifor.“With th...

www.unifor.org/news/all-new... “We will never forget this act of hostility against our workers, and we must take every measure possible – utilize every ounce of creativity we have – to build a strong, resilient, and diverse economy to never be held hostage by America again.” @unifor.org

Instead of demanding a laundry list of things to align with a Trump administration (such as deregulation, more tax cuts for the wealthy, and weakened workers’ rights) perhaps the business class in Canada could actually STAND UP for our country.

Amazon is an example of how our laws fail workers.

Of how the obscenely wealthy can circumvent laws and rights and democracy.

But democratic govts can make a difference with political will.

You stand with workers or with oligarchs.

It’s that kind of moment.
