Ontario by-elections opportunity for workers to send strong message to governments
Toronto – July 5, 2013 – The race is on for five provincial ridings in Ontario, which all promise to be more than just a test of the newly-appointed Premier, Kathleen Wynne. The outcome of the by-elections should also reveal how Ontarians feel about the government’s past history. That past includes Dalton McGuinty’s costly cancellation of two power plants, the ongoing Ornge scandal, and the government’s lacklustre dealings with public sector unions.
Ottawa – June 19, 2013 – The Harper Government’s attack on workers, Bill C-377, is now back for final debate in the Senate. The Senate Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce tabled the legislation by a vote of 6 to 5 with one Conservative Senator abstaining from the vote.
