Workers need a deal that protects good jobs, strengthens our economy and delivers real stability for workers and communities. Canada must hold firm on our interests and our red lines, while also having a clear plan to support workers and communities if tariffs come into effect.
As trade unionists, we know what it takes to win at the negotiating table against a powerful counterpart. It takes strength, clarity, unity. It means knowing your bottom line, understanding your leverage and potentially using it. Sometimes it means walking away from a bad deal.

A bus without working A/C is a health & safety issue for passengers & operators. Don't assume someone else will report it. **Call 311 every single time you ride a bus with no A/C. Report the bus # on the front—not the route** Every call demands accountability #HeatWave #Halifax #HfxTransit #Halisky
🥵 Help your bus chill out! 😎 Every open window lets the A/C escape. Once they're closed, it can take quite a while to cool such a big bus again. Keep the windows shut and let the cold air do its job! 🚌❄️ #HalifaxTransit #Halifax #KeepCool #HeatWave #HfxTransit #bustips
#bustips When you see your bus coming, pls exit the shelter so the driver sees you & can safely slow & stop. Staying in the shelter says you're waiting on another route. Stopping at each stop when people don't wish to board, slows us down & makes us later, for you & everyone #Halifax #hfxtransit

🌬️ Hot tip! Our A/C isn't trying to cool all of Halifax. 😄 Keep the bus windows closed so the cool air stays where it belongs! Bonus tip: the back seats sit over the engine, so they're the warmest seats onboard. Save them for winter! 🚌❄️ #bustips #HfxTransit #Halifax #heatwave #HalifaxTransit

A bus without working A/C is a health and safety concern for both passengers and operators. If you ride one, call 311 and report the **bus number** (on the front of the bus), not the route number. Every report helps ensure the issue gets attention. #Halisky #HfxTransit #bustips #safety
