With our Hamilton Meeting a Success, Trade Justice Network Wants to Come to Your Community
On February 12th, Trade Justice Network held a public meeting in Hamilton on trade. We want to take it to communities across the country next.
The Hamilton meeting saw a number of speakers talking about the basics of trade deals, how Trump’s tariffs are affecting the city and how the Carney governments cuts are affecting workers in the federal public service. Speakers included John Catto, Guio Jacinto and Frank Crowder of the United Steelworkers, Deanna Allain of Public Service Alliance of Canada, and Trade Justice Network Coordinator Gerard Di Trolio.
There was also time for the audience to discuss how tariffs and budget cuts are affecting them as well as what they would like to see the government do to protect workers and communities, as well as what the idea of trade justice means to them.
These kind of discussions are important. That’s why we want to continue these events across the country. Right now there is preliminary planning for events in and around Toronto, Ottawa and in Nova Scotia.
