Chris Hedges, American journalist, activist, author, Presbyterian minister and humanitarian, was scheduled to be a guest speaker at the Toronto Day of Action on Saturday March 14, 2015.  Marooned by heavy fog at the Windsor Airport, he wasn't able to make it on time.  But H.G. Watson was able to speak to him on the phone about why he thought the Bill C-51 Day of Action was important to attend.

Basic Annual Income Part 2 Comments From The Floor

HEU secretary-business manager Jennifer Whiteside introduces BC Premiere John Horgan at the 2018 Hospital Employees Union Biennial Convention. 
Horgan’s passionate and moving speech comes in the wake of the Nov. 8th BC Government announcement to repeal discriminatory, 16 year-long health labour laws (Bills 29, and 94). He is joined on stage by Minister of Health Adrian Dix, Minister of Mental Health and Addiction, Judy Darcy, Deputy Speaker Raj Chohan and Minister of Labour Harry Bains. Former MLA’s Jenny Kwan (current MP for Vancouver East) & Joy Macphail also joined the stage - MacPhail and Kwan were the two lone MLA’s who stood their ground, fighting the original laws for an entire weekend in 2002. This historic moment is marked by ongoing the fight for proportional representation, as Premier Horgan remarks, a system that could have avoided the almost unanimous decision for these bills, with more accurate democratic representation.
