Calandra's “labour peace” narrative sounds more like selective amnesia. His government has clashed with every major education union. A united front from education union is key to countering Ford's usual divide-and-conquer strategy.

Insightful commentary from @eidlin on the Carney government’s Canada Labour Code “consultation”.
May 26
I was up early this morning for a 4:30 am PDT interview with @YourMorning to talk about the Carney government’s plans to revise the Canada Labour Code, which will likely include tighter restrictions on workers’ Charter-protected right to strike. 1/

New FOI data: majority of Ontario students are rejecting the Ford government’s e-learning mandate.
70% of the first graduating class opted out or were exempt.
The province calls it a tool for digital literacy. Critics say it's a cost-cutting measure: thetrillium.ca/news/educatio…

Sure, political staff are different from traditional public servants due to the nature of their work, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t employees. Collective bargaining isn’t a threat; it’s a basic safeguard for all workers.

The reflex to treat strikes as a public policy ‘problem’ instead of a democratic tool to rebalance power shows how Carney sees unions: disruptions to contain, not organizations workers rely on for fair wages, safety, and a voice.

When our mom needed home care, it was PSWs who provided it. But staffing shortages meant we had to call mom twice a day to ensure someone showed up. If not—we had to provide that care, or she didn’t eat or get bathed. These are the real-life consequences of undervaluing PSWs.

“If we continue to lose home care PSWs to poor working conditions, lack of adequate compensation, and burnout, all of us will feel the consequences.”
These workers support us in our homes, but are burnt out and underpaid. This is how we can help them thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

I recall the same argument when Ontario began to permit Sunday shopping in the 1990s. “No one will be forced to work on Sundays.” Instead, management just cut our hours and told us “well Sunday is available.”
Bosses will absolutely coerce workers to work. #canlab

NEW - Ontario retailers can open for business this Victoria Day Monday. But what about employees who were looking forward to a day off? “No one is going to force them to work" Minister @stcrawford2 tells me. But the opposition worry workers could still face pressure to show up. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/05/…
