“We need an Ontario where nurses don’t have to beg to be staffed properly. We need an Ontario that actually cares for our patients. We need an Ontariothat understands that you can build every hospital you want but if you don’t respect the people who provide care, you have nothing.”  - Laura Spencer Walton

Today we joined dozens of labour leaders to demand Doug Ford immediately establish a tariff task force and develop a unified strategy to confront the economic and social impacts of U.S.-imposed tariffs.

"This crisis demands the premier’s full attention. He must be on the job, not on the campaign trail. Fighting for workers does not take breaks, we know because we here today fight for workers and their communities every day. So as workers we are making a demand of our premier before he moves the government into caretaking mode." - Laura Spencer Walton
