2,200 nursing home workers at 22 sites in NS are on strike. Some of the longest strikes in Canadian history have been in LTC -- and that means that low-paid workers have struggled mightily for fair wages and better living conditions and care for residents. I stand with CUPE-NS.

Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled Whereas: Canada is a signatory to the 1951 United Nations Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol; Canada has a Safe Third Country Agreement with the United States. Under that agreement, it returns to the United States anyone who has requested asylum in the United States; Currently, refugee claimants in the United States, including those who entered the country regularly, are being arrested, detained and deported without due process of law; Canada's Immigration and Refugee Protection Act offers safe haven to persons with a well-founded fear of persecution. The IRPA also requires the continual review of all countries designated as safe third countries to ensure that the conditions that led to that designation continue to be met; and In his recent speech to the World Economic Forum, Prime Minister Carney called for creating "agreements that function as described". However, by implementing the Safe Third Country Agreement, Canada is violating the UN Refugee Convention and its own Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. We, the undersigned, residents and citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to instruct the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship to immediately: 1. Report to the Governor in Council that the United States no longer meets the requirements for designation as a safe third country; 2. Notify the United States in writing that Canada intends to terminate the Safe Third Country Agreement in accord with Article 10 of the agreement; and 3. Instruct the Canada Border Services Agency to change its policy so that it no longer enforces the Safe Third Country Agreement, and to stop returning anyone making a refugee claim in Canada to the United States under that agreement.

Well-written petition for Canada to end the Safe Third Country Agreement with the US.

Many petitions have...not had correct info (even with the best of intentions). This is much more thorough, and is to be presented by @jennykwan.bsky.social

Historic first Nova Scotia province-wide student strike begins today: Sunday, March 15, 2026.

Power to the collective and solidarity with the students.

Graphic featuring a quote from a contract faculty member in Northern Ontario about how improved job security and access to benefits would allow more time to support students and contribute to the university community. The background shows a classroom with a teacher standing at the front and students seated at desks. The OCUFA logo and campaign website appear at the bottom.

Contract faculty love teaching and supporting their students but too many do it without job security, fair pay, or benefits.

Stable employment would strengthen teaching, support students, and benefit our communities.

Graphic featuring a quote from a contract faculty member in the Greater Toronto Area about how large class sizes make it harder to build meaningful relationships with students. The background shows a lecturer standing at the front of a large lecture hall facing a crowd of students. The OCUFA logo and campaign website appear at the bottom.

Building meaningful relationships with students is at the heart of good teaching but growing class sizes and chronic underfunding make that harder every year.

Better university funding means better learning conditions.

NEW RELEASE: Arts and Culture: Nova Scotia’s Undervalued Public Good by Sébastien Labelle

This piece emphasizes the contributions of the art & culture sector to NS, and how these sectors will be impacted by budget cuts.

Map of Canada with the province of Nova Scotia highlighted. Text that reads "Recent data shows 66% of Nova Scotia students and their families have difficulty paying tuition fees. Canadian average: 48%"

Nova Scotia is planning millions of dollars in cuts that would be devastating to students.

48% of Canadian students report struggling with the cost of tuition. In Nova Scotia, that jumps to 66%.

Federal grants are also on the chopping block.

Student support should be increasing, not decreasing.

Happening this morning beginning at 1100. Please join you’re in Halifax.

📢 RALLY TOMORROW AT PROVINCE HOUSE! 📢

We've seen a groundswell of organizing from multiple sectors & all corners of the province these past few weeks. Tomorrow we're gathering once again at the NS Legislature to show that we are united, & we are not backing down.

Too many contract faculty are hired term-to-term, paid less than their peers for the same teaching, & denied benefits. That instability affects faculty and students. Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions.
