    Labour Day is more than just a day off work; it’s a testament to the power of collective action. It’s a reminder of the countless workers who, through sweat, determination, and sometimes great personal sacrifice, have fought for the rights we often take for granted today. The eight-hour workday, weekends, health and safety standards, and the right to organize— all of these hard-won gains were achieved through the tireless efforts of workers united in a common cause.

    Support Postal Banking - Download and Sign the Petition

    Canada needs a postal bank. Thousands of rural towns and villages in our country do not have a bank, but many of them have a post office that could provide financial services. As well, nearly two million Canadians desperately need an alternative to payday lenders. A postal bank could be that alternative. Download and sign the petition urging the Government of Canada to instruct Canada Post to add postal banking, with a mandate for financial inclusion.
