Ontario‘s Conservative government has: - Cut paid sick days - Reversed the previous Liberal government’s rent control legislation - Brought back doctor sick notes - Froze minimum wage for years - Froze public sector wage increases at 1% How are they “for the people”? #onpoli

There you have it folks, Ontario Conservatives are the first Canadian government to use the Notwithstanding clause to override Constitutionally protected Labour Rights. Quite a day in Canadian Labour law and Constitutional history.

Really, among the most draconian pieces of labour legislation in the modern era in Canada.

The Doug Ford government isn't just immunizing its law from Charter review, it is *criminalizing* the exercise of a fundamental freedom (the right to strike) under the Charter. All Canadians should be outraged. Solidarity to OSBCU-CSCSO and all workers resisting this affront.

Either you support unprecedented government overreach to quash fundamental Charter rights. Or You support a province wide general strike to resist unprecedented government overreach quashing fundamental Charter rights.
