The Communist Party’s Ontario Executive Committee stands in solidarity with 1,200 workers at National Steel Car (NSC) in Hamilton, members of USW Local 7135, who have been on strike since August 12.

Stop Ford’s Election Reforms

Expand working people’s power, not corporate power!

The Communist Party of Canada (Ontario) condemns the reforms to Ontario’s elections unveiled by the Ford government last week. The changes in Bill 254, the so-called “Protecting Elections Act”, will only serve to increase the political power of corporations and the wealthiest capitalists in the province. Doug Ford hopes the changes will get his government re-elected to another term in order to continue to put the burden of a deep economic crisis on the backs of Ontario’s working class.
