Today, we remember the 14 women murdered at Montréal’s École Polytechnique on December 6, 1989, targeted simply because they were women. We honour their memory and the countless women, girls, and gender-diverse people who have experienced violence in their homes, workplaces, and communities.

Violence in any form is never acceptable. Together, we must educate and take action to end all gender-based violence.
Make a start online with the UN's “UNiTE to End Digital Violence against All Women and Girls” because there is #NoExcuse for online abuse!

It's here!
Read the full #RightsDontRetire report now. It details why the #WSIB's arbitrary age 65 cut-off is out of touch with labour market realities and hurts all injured workers.

We trust Ontario’s water because it’s public. It’s safe. It’s affordable.
And it’s accountable to the people — not to profit.
But Bills 60, 56, and 68 threaten to change that.
So CUPE Ontario has joined forces with the Council of Canadians, the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE), ACORN Ontario, and Nature Ontario to launch the Keep Water Public coalition.
We’re standing up for Ontario’s water — and we need you with us.

Families across Toronto (and Ontario) are reeling from this year’s school “reorganization”.
❌ Students shuffled between classrooms
❌ Teachers reassigned
❌ Special education programs disrupted
Parents say these are the most dramatic September changes they’ve ever seen — happening weeks after children have already settled in, formed friendships, and built trust with their teachers. What makes it worse? There are no trustees.
The TDSB — like several boards across Ontario — is under provincial supervision. Families have lost their local advocates and are left writing letters, starting petitions, and even planning protests just to be heard! Decisions are being made that have nothing to about kids. They’re about numbers, cuts, and cost-savings, resulting in:
➡️ Larger classes
➡️ Fewer teachers
➡️ Less support for students with complex needs.

When classrooms are overcrowded and teachers are overworked, students lose out. @Albertateachers are taking a stand to fix a broken system, and we stand with them. #abpoli #canlab #workerstogether

Today, migrant farm workers launch a campaign to demand permanent resident #StatusForAll those who feed Canada.
Recent closure to AgriFood Program & expiring permits are hurting us. Enough. End injustice and let agriculture grow.
