The working class must be ever vigilant of the machinations of the political class. Mark Carney positioned himself as Canada’s response to Trump, but his actions show him to be pro-business and anti-worker.

Workers need to be wary this season. The ground is cluttered with politicians who claim to be our friends. These claims are almost always lies, whether they are uttered in Ottawa or DC, or in any other capital where poisonous populism is celebrated by autocrats. Looking at you, Orban, Putin and Modi!

Why Trans Mountain wants to expand when the oil pipeline isn't even full

Pipeline is operating at about 80%, while tankers are only 70% full

A little more than one year after completing construction of the Trans Mountain expansion oil pipeline, the Crown corporation is pursuing two different methods to increase how much oil can be exported.

The move comes at a time when the pipeline still isn't operating at full capacity.

The federal office tasked with ensuring the long-term health of Canadians’ pensions is underestimating one of the biggest threats to people’s retirement plans — climate change, says an advocacy group. 

The Office of the Chief Actuary (OCA) is failing to capture the financial risks of climate change in its long-term assessments of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and other public funds, warned advocacy group Shift: Action for Pension Wealth and Planet Health in an email to Chief Actuary Assia Billig early this morning.

For unions to survive, they must embrace antifascism.

In countries across the capitalist world, trade union movements are being challenged to their very core by the growth of right-wing populist and neofascist mass movements. What makes this situation especially dangerous is that labor unions and supporters are facing not just maniacal leaders or even military juntas, but a strengthening political alignment between segments of the capitalist class and these same right-wing social movements.
