Dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends:

This is one of the defining, critical moments in our lifetime. The unprecedented attack on Canada’s sovereignty is already impacting our way of life, and we must respond in kind. But our response must be about more than just “buying Canadian.” This is our opportunity to reshape the Canadian economy into something that truly works for the people. We must advance public solutions in key sectors like agriculture, transportation, infrastructure, and natural resources, and diversify markets for Canadian products beyond the United States.

Canada’s response must put workers and our communities first.

We will defend our proud tradition of strong, well-funded, high-quality public services for people when they need it, and we will stand up for the right of all workers to good wages, a dignified retirement, and strong union representation. We will defend our sovereignty and our communities.

Stand on Guard

We cannot allow Canada’s response to Trump’s attack on our sovereignty to undermine our values. Add your voice to demand Canada’s response be more than the kneejerk calls for tax cuts, deregulation and privatization from corporate boardrooms and the right-wing.

In Solidarity,

Mark Hancock
