Toronto – July 9, 2014 – Under a majority government, opposition parties are limited in what they can do to stop the government’s agenda. They can filibuster, try amending legislation, put forth private member's bills, and question the government in the House of Commons and Senate, and at committee. But in the end, the majority government controls the agenda and with an unprecedented use of time allocation to limit debate, Harper’s Conservatives have bullied through with their agenda.
Toronto – June 13, 2014 – The 2014 Ontario Election is now history and the people of Ontario have spoken. Instead of choosing the backward, anti-worker policies of Tim Hudak and the PCs, the electorate chose to reward Premier Kathleen Wynne with a majority government.
Toronto – June 3, 2014 – Yet again, Conservative boss Stephen Harper and his Minister of Veterans Affairs Julian Fantino have shown their contempt for the men and women who have served our country in military service.

Ottawa – May 24, 2014 – UFCW Canada, the nation’s most progressive union, joined thousands of Canadians to successfully pressure the federal government to drastically alter the Unfair Elections Act. Bill C-23 – deceitfully dubbed the Fair Elections Act by the Conservatives – was Harper’s latest attempt to dismantle democracy in Canada. Following a firestorm of opposition across the country, including a comprehensive UFCW Canada lobbying and media campaign, the government was forced to gut the bill of some of its most controversial elements.
