Today, Friends of Public Services -- along with the Naomi Klein and the Leap Manifesto team, Canadian Union of Postal Workers, Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association, ACORN Canada and the Canadian Labour Congress -- launched Delivering Community Power, a bold new vision of how Canada Post could become the hub for a just transition to a 100% renewable economy.

Facebook TwitterWe also have to mobilize through Council of Canadians on the matter of of having social economy water treatment using phyto-remediation available to all communities that would like to have the co-op model operate plant-based water purification – so that we don’t have to have chlorine and other allergens that prevent us from having a healthy environment. This whole area is the kind of goals that are possible if we chose to have a society that values the 1966 Covenants on Economic, Social, Cultural, Civil and Political Rights. as instruments of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I hope that we can reach consensus on getting this as part of the agenda of the majority of Canadians.
