Proportional representation would prevent governments from sidelining the legislature and would require cooperation instead of unilateral control.

The Ottawa Citizen reported in 2024 that the Department of Canadian Heritage was told by historians that more than half of the 550 names to be inscribed on the Memorial to the Victims of Communism should be removed. The reason was because of potential links to the Nazis or questions about affiliations with fascist groups.

Canadian Heritage has now reversed course on inscribing specific names. “The Government of Canada has emphasized that all aspects of the Memorial to the Victims of Communism must align with Canadian values of democracy and human rights,” department spokesperson Caroline Czajkowski said in an email. “The Wall of Remembrance will now solely feature thematic content that conveys the broader commemorative and educational intent of the Memorial.”

I am sharing a link to a site that will aid you in emailing your local mp in hopes of producing pressure on the Ford government in response to illegal attacks on the freedoms of community support service workers.

Hello, 

Our communities are at a breaking point. 



Children struggling with mental health challenges can’t get therapists. Adults with developmental disabilities are stuck on a waitlist for services 52,000 people long. And shelter workers, addictions counselors, legal aid staff, and countless other frontline community workers are turning to food banks themselves.


Our communities and workers in community support services deserve better.

That starts with justice for Bill 124 which capped wages, took money out of our communities, and eroded services that children and families depend on.


Send an email to your MPP today. Tell them that community services and workers are worth fighting for.
