Le même type qui s’est fait prendre à fixer le prix du pain pendant des années prétend maintenant que les grandes chaînes n’ont aucun contrôle sur les prix.
Voyons donc!
Les Canadiens et Canadiennes ne sont pas dupes. On voit bien que Galen s’en met plein les poches pendant que le coût d’un panier d’épicier explose. On sait très bien qu’on se fait avoir.
Il est grand temps de démanteler le cartel des grandes épiceries et de faire baisser les prix en créant un réseau national de supermarchés publics où les gens du Canada auront les moyens de faire leur épicerie.

The same guy who was caught fixing the price of bread for years now claims that the big grocers have no control over prices.
Give me a break.
Canadians aren’t stupid. We see Galen getting richer and richer as grocery costs skyrocket. We know we’re being ripped off.

Hamilton's steelworkers are at the heart of our economy, and we won’t stand by while a Trump-aligned CEO tries to wipe them out.
Yesterday, I rallied with Stelco workers to protest Cleveland-Cliffs' layoffs and their overt sabotage of our steel industry. Stelco’s owner has admitted that he bought the company to take out the competition for his US steel mills.
Once our steel industry is gone, it’s gone forever.
It's time for the government to act before it's too late. Nationalize Stelco. Save these good union jobs. Put the steel industry into public hands.
That's how we take back control of our economy and build a stronger Canada for everybody.

Les métallos de Hamilton sont au cœur de notre économie, et nous ne resterons pas les bras croisés pendant qu'un PDG proche de Trump tente de les anéantir.
Hier, je me suis rallié aux travailleurs·euses de Stelco pour protester contre les licenciements imposé par Cleveland-Cliffs et leur sabotage flagrant de notre industrie de l’acier. Le propriétaire de Stelco a lui-même admis qu'il avait acheté l'entreprise pour éliminer la concurrence pour ses propres aciéries aux États-Unis.
Une fois que notre industrie de l'acier aura disparu, ce sera pour de bon.
Il est temps que le gouvernement agisse avant qu'il ne soit trop tard. Nationalisons Stelco. Sauvons ces bons emplois syndiqués. Transférons l'industrie de l’acier dans le secteur public.
C'est ainsi que nous reprendrons le contrôle de notre économie et que nous bâtirons un Canada plus fort pour tout le monde.

Shame! Liberals voted against the NDP bill to protect the right to strike. Even so-called “progressive” Liberals fell in line. The Carney government continues to put the interests of foreign investors over the rights of workers.
Here are the receipts:

New Democrats have repeatedly raised concerns about the UAE’s human rights record with the Liberals – including the UAE’s role in the genocide in Sudan.
Canada should not sign a trade deal with a country fueling genocide and weapons should not be shipped while this continues.

The Liberal government intervened to end legal strikes 10 times over the last three years. They did this by inappropriately using Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code. In several cases, they did only hours after job action began.

Again and again the Liberal government has attacked workers’ Charter-protected collective bargaining rights and their right to strike. The Liberals have undermined legal strikes 10 times in just three years using Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code. Now, they’re trying to extend this authoritarian power in Bill C-39.
The @NDP has joined workers saying that enough is enough. My Bill C-247 to uphold the right to strike will be voted on this afternoon, when workers across Canada will find out if the Liberals will respect their right to bargain for a fair deal, or will keep taking orders from billionaires and corporate executives.

“Leaders from Treaty No. 6, No. 7, No. 8 and the Blackfoot Confederacy — along with NDP MP Leah Gazan — were also among those who added their voices to previous calls from chiefs in Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec for the Carney government to withdraw the controversial Bill C-39. That legislation has sparked objections from environmentalists, unions and Indigenous groups as it seeks to hasten federal assessments of development projects like pipelines, electricity grids, mines and more.”

The American CEO who bought Stelco is openly admitting that he purchased the company to sabotage it.
This is why the Liberals should have never approved Stelco's sale in the first place. When you give away ownership of a critical industry like steel, your economy is forever under another's thumb.
There is only one solution that will save these jobs and put Canada back in the driver's seat: we need to nationalize Stelco.

If you’re not a big corporation or foreign investor, you might just be invisible to this government.
2,671 PSAC members at Parks Canada received notice this week that their positions may be cut. These cuts put our environment, natural and cultural heritage, parks, and national historic sites at risk.

Bill C-39 puts foreign investors’ profits ahead of workers’ rights, environmental protections and Indigenous rights. Canada’s top scientists warn it will cause irreversible harm. So why are the Liberals limiting scrutiny instead of giving this bill the thorough review it demands?

Why is this government allowing Israeli companies blacklisted for genocide to acquire Canadian companies - contrary to our own laws and policies?
The government's response is what exactly?
NDP retweeted
The Prime Minister called Bill C-39 the most consequential legislation in decades. This is True.
It tramples on environmental protections and Indigenous and workers’ rights, while handing ministers king powers to override constitutional safeguards in the name of the “national interest.”
Our Constitutional rights are not an inconvenience. So are the Liberals, with the help of the Conservative, really trying to build a strong Canada, or are they just working together to build a pipeline to the courts?
