It was public--not private--enterprise that built this country: CNR, Ontario Hydro, the crown corporation that led to the Avro Arrow. Too bad we've forgotten. #cdnpoli #canlab www.thestar.com/opinion/c….

Linda McQuaig: There’s much talk about building a stronger Canada, but silence about the one strategy that actually worked

If we’re truly interested in bold ideas, Canada should free ourselves from the notion that the only way to build a country is to cater to corporate titans.

Blaming unions for your own economic insecurity is not the answer. Standing together, working-class people and their unions are stronger and can demand more from the wealthy and corporate interests. #canlab #1u

The stark contrast in today's labour force data from Canada & the U.S. certainly strengthens Canada's hand in ongoing trade talks with Trump. Canada created 75K jobs in July. The U.S. lost 23K by one measure (payroll survey), 87K by another (household survey). #cdnecon #canlab /2
