NOTE: Women have been involved in the Labour Movement for untold generations, advocating proper working conditions, fair wages, and worker rights throughout Canada and the United States. One such woman was Mrs. Eva Valesh, general women’s organizer of the American Federation of Labour.

Mrs. Valesh knew then, what Unions and Canadians know today, Union wages lift the wages of all people and stimulate local, regional, provincial economies. Canada is a better country for the inclusion of Unions. Enjoy the article.

On The Subject of Canadian Senate Reform/Abolition

Posted on by

NOTE: Senate reform/abolition has popped up at various time throughout the history of Canada, as it has during the Stephen Harper administration over the last few years.

I present to you, an early opinion on such a discussion from early in the 20th Century. It is very interesting and worth a read.
