Founded in 1985, the Council of Canadians is Canada's largest advocacy organization, with members and chapters across the country. If you believe that our social programs and public services should be strengthened, not privatized; that our foreign and trade policies should be independent, not subservient to the United States; and that our water and natural resources should be protected, not exploited, please join us as a member.

       Message from Maude Barlow
                                   
 
 
Hello Don and everyone. I am thrilled to see the London chapter up and running again and I thank you all so much for becoming engaged. London is and has been such an important chapter in the history of the Council so it is doubly wonderful that you are organizing. I am so pleased about your intervention in the municipality's bottled water ban. We cannot afford to have that rolled back. And we will soon be launching a new campaign on the Great Lakes and I expect London to be as central to this one as it was to the last several years ago.


Many thanks and love to you all.


Maude

Dear Sisters and Brothers,
We invite you to join us for our March 1 London Activist Assembly as part of the CLC pensions campaign and overall fightback plan.  The purpose of this assembly is to draw together activists from across the labour movement and from our social justice networks to keep the pressure on the Harper Government to expand the CPP and to collectively strategize a plan to take this anti-union and democracy destroying government out of power in the upcoming federal election.  I do not need to emphasize to you how much damage they have done as a minority government -- we must not allow them to be re-elected.
 
There will be an exciting panel of speakers including OFL President Sid Ryan, Senior CLC Economist Andrew Jackson, Smokey Thomas OPSEU President and Gary Howe USW Local 1005 Vice-President.  Following the panel there will be breakout groups in order to strategize our collective fightback plan.  These assemblies will be taking place all across Canada and will build momentum for the mobiliziation that is so critical at this time.
 
Join us with your ideas and your energy!  Please circulate this message widely and encourage your members, friends and social justice activist contacts to attend.  All are welcome.
In Solidarity,
Patti Dalton
Date:  March 1
Time:  630-900pm
Place: 1092 Dearness Drive
             London OPSEU Office
