Sep 1, 2026 - Save Public healthcare

When: September 1st, 4pm
Where: Danielle Martin's office, 622 College St

Our sister coalition in Alberta - the Friends of Medicare - has asked us all to help stop Alberta's government from ending single tier public health care in Canada. They are working their hardest in Alberta but we need to be helping across the country. The situation is extremely urgent. As of Sept. 1 Alberta will bring in U.S. private health insurance and start to sell access to two-tier medicare, pushing most people back in line, moving physicians out of the public system to serve those who can pay, and bringing in the private insurance companies (which are currently banned under Canada's medicare laws). The latter is, of course, the goal of the legislation.

Aug 29, 2026 - Protest Doug Ford

When: August 29th, 1pm
Where: 111 Wellesley St W

Doug Ford has consistently shown he's not on the people's side. It's time to stand up for our rights and for those who cannot. On this website, you'll find all of the dates, times, and locations for future protests against Doug Ford and his agenda.

Change doesn't happen quickly, but if we all stand together and say a collective "that's enough", it gets harder and harder for them to continue with what they are doing.

May 25, 2026 - OPSEU Strike (week 14)

When: while the strike is on

Doug Ford has underfunded our community services to the point of crisis -- and it's pushing workers into poverty.

OPSEU members are now in the ninth week of their ongoing strike. These workers provide critical frontline services that our communities rely on. Stability, dignity, and decent wages for workers will mean better services for all.
