What a day on Cape Breton!
Yesterday, I attended the 100th anniversary of William Davis’s murder—killed for standing up for workers’ rights. A powerful reminder that every labour victory is built on sacrifice. We carry that fight forward. Always. #DavisDay
Today marks the 100th anniversary of Davis Day.
The story of William Davis reminds us of the innocence of the worker, and the malice the elite will commit to hold onto their power and capital.
It is a call to action: to continue to protect and expand worker's rights.

Good resource! #davisday
Today marks 100 years since the death of William Davis, a coal miner killed by police while standing up for workers' rights in Cape Breton.
His courage sparked a movement, one we honour every #DavisDay. ✊
C’est la Journée commémorative William-Davis en Nouvelle-Écosse. Un siècle plus tard, la mort du mineur de charbon du Cap-Breton continue d’inspirer et d’influencer les mouvements syndicaux dans la province et dans tout le pays. #nspoli #davisday
"...it's crucial to understand not just the tragic circumstances of Davis's death, but the broader militant tradition of Cape Breton's coal miners that continues to inspire today's labour organizers and union members in the region and across Canada." #DavisDay springmag.ca/standing-the...
