Auschwitz stands as a symbol of the Holocaustβ€”a painful reminder of where hatred can lead. On Jan. 27, 1945, Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated. In 2005, the UN declared this day as #HolocaustRemembrance to honour victims & ensure we #NeverForget.

Love our members. What a great crew. Thank you for sharing your concerns about Trump’s trade policies and his threats impacting Cdn jobs and workers. We will organize and fight together. All workers. From all parts of the economy. Solidarity is the only way. #cdnpoli

Instead of demanding a laundry list of things to align with a Trump administration (such as deregulation, more tax cuts for the wealthy, and weakened workers’ rights) perhaps the business class in Canada could actually STAND UP for our country. Defend Canada. #cdnpoli

We need solid plans and policies in place for all workers in Canada. Slogans and catchphrases won't protect us. #Canpoli #canlab
A message to all running for office everywhere. This is labour’s time. If you’re going to work for workers, show us what that means! How will you defend workers from this kind of egregious attack on their constitutional rights? I have a list. Let’s go. #cdnpoli

Corporations must be held accountable. Workers need to organise like never before. #canlab #Canpoli
Amazon is an example of how our laws fail workers. Of how the obscenely wealthy can circumvent laws and rights and democracy. But democratic govts can make a difference with political will. You stand with workers or with oligarchs. It’s that kind of moment. #cdnpoli

These are the times that define leaders. Some rise to the occasion. Some fail to understand the full magnitude of the moment and what it requires of them. To those rising to the occasion, thank you. We have a country to save, an economy to protect and workers to defend.

Here is a bargaining 101 lesson to all those trying to appease Trump. Don’t. The demands will keep coming. We need a united front. And we need to push back hard. We have leverage. Lots and lots of it. We use it. #cdnpoli

For those still thinking we should just take a breath. Stop now. We are facing an existential threat. We MUST come together as a nation to fight for our country, Cdn workers and the economy. Stop the political games and get serious about what is in front of us. #cdnpoli
