Call for a Ceasefire Between Israel and Iran
We’re calling on Mark Carney and the Liberal government to:
- Demand an immediate ceasefire between Iran and Israel
- End all military exports to Israel
- Sanction Netanyahu and his war cabinet
- Stand up for international law and protection for all civilians
Enough is enough. Add your name now to demand Canada speak up for peace, not more war.
Bill C-5 would make Stephen Harper blush. This ultra-conservative Bill, tabled by Carney's Liberals would:
-
Let Cabinet Ministers bypass existing laws and override constitutional obligations;
-
Let the federal government move resource extraction projects forward without Indigenous Peoples' Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC).
-
Let the federal government violate Section 35 of Canada's Constitution — Rights of the Aboriginal Peoples of Canada;
-
Let Ministers ignore protections for water, air, biodiversity, and climate change;
-
Undermines federal health and safety regulations, putting workers, communities, and ecosystems at risk;
With support from Poilievre's Conservatives, Carney Liberals have fast-tracked Bill C-5 through Parliament. It had minimal consultation. This silenced concerns from Indigenous leaders, legal scholars, environmental scientists, and health advocates;
The Chiefs of Ontario, the Assembly of First Nations, and civil society organizations strongly oppose this bill.
Therefore, we the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to cancel the $800 million cut to education and create a safe return to school plan that includes:
- A classroom cap of 15
- Upgrades to ventilation systems to meet the latest standards and science on airborne transmission of COVID
- More classrooms supports for kids with special needs or learning challenges
- In-school mental health and wellness supports

Suze Morrison supports Andrea Horwath's Save Main Street Plan. Morrison is deeply concerned about the impact COVID-19 is having on vital local business:
Andrea Horwath has said small and medium-sized businesses, charities and community-based non-profits need more help to make it through the COVID-19 storm, and the provincial government should offer that lifeline.
“Many small and medium-sized businesses, non-profits and charities are counting down the number of days they can keep their heads above water since COVID-19 has taken away their revenue,” said Horwath. “We not only want them to survive, we want them to be able to keep staff on the payroll as much as possible.
“The federal wage subsidy program and loan options are a welcome relief, but still leave small operations unable to pay the rent and bills without sinking into debt. The provincial government can solve that problem.
The cost of the Save Main Street plan is estimated to range from $850 million to $1.15 billion.
The Ontario government has failed to provide the funding or the plan needed to ensure kids can return to schools and child care centres in a safe and supportive way.
Therefore, we the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to implement an immediate action plan that includes:
- Paid sick leave and parental leave in any modified return
- Immediate funding to stabilize the child care sector to prevent fee increases and layoffs
- Increased funding for teacher hiring, bussing, school repairs and cleaning
- Expanded funding for childcare and schools for more, smaller classes
- Real collaboration with frontline education workers, students, parents and school boards through a COVID-19 recovery school advisory group
Post-Secondary Students Deserve Pandemic Tuition Relief
It is unfair to expect post-secondary students reeling from months of financial hardship and facing a limited campus and in-class learning experience this Fall to pay the same hefty tuition fees that were too high to begin with.
Students need immediate tuition relief from the government and an end to OSAP clawbacks for emergency pandemic benefits.
