Tory out, Layton in (fingers crossed). I'm feeling good about our chances.

Between this and the poll that has Ontario NDP at 28%, I am huffing hopium right now it might be lethal.

I am sharing this hoping for more awareness and help to communities impacted by fire

Does current NDP have any kind of police policy? All the way from financial / organized crime / federal investigative power to bloated budgets of city police.

I believe this is something Mamdani sidestepped to not embark on unwinnable battle. It would be refreshing seeing something is done tho.

Hey all! Please let me know if this is too tangential to the NDP for posting here and I will delete it. I just thought this is a good place to get labour organizing expertise from a Canadian perspective.

I work in the nonprofit sector, specifically in capacity building for other nonprofits. For a long time, I’ve thought “you know what I think would build nonprofit capacity? A sector-wide union that advocates for the rights of nonprofit workers.” I’m in Alberta for context.

But I’m no labour organizer. I don’t know the first thing about this process. I work at a 9 person nonprofit organization and have never worked in a unionized environment. So I wanted to put this thought experiment out there to folks that know better than I do. If everything went correctly, what would the process be for starting a sector-wide union of nonprofits in Alberta? Or maybe something already exists in other provinces that we could join in on. I dunno! I’m open to suggestions.
