This quote is from today's episode of The Current (CBC): Matt Galloway: The next time you need to go to a hospital. How will this affect you? Will you think di...fferently about going to a hospital now? Alice Echaquan: I don’t want to go back in this hospital. Never. And in my heart. Never. https://www.cbc.ca//relatives-experts-call-for-accountabil When people say racism kills, this is one of the ways.

The federal government is taking steps in the right direction, but there’s still work to be done to disaster-proof our social safety net before the next crisis. We’ve got their ear now - so let’s keep the conversation going. Connect with your local elected officials to make sure the Throne Speech is more than words. Let's make sure we can all move #ForwardTogether Canadian Labour Congress - Congrès du travail du Canada

Overall, the announcements made in the throne speech are good news for our community and workers across the country - but it's only the start. We have to maintain the pressure in order to make sure commitments to Indigenous communities, racialized communities, workers, and families are more than just words! #ForwardTogether Canadian Labour Congress - Congrès du travail du Canada

How we got the Rand formula

The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated just how essential child care is for working families in our community. It is clear there can be no economic recovery without high-quality, accessible, affordable, public child careit supports women in the job market, but is also an important source of employment for women and an economic driver itself. Let's let the Federal government know that we want child care to be a priority! Follow the link below to connect with your MP: https://canadianplan.ca/disaster-proof-canada/send-a-letter/
