That’s because elections matter and Steelworkers vote. Leader Profiles In this election, Canadians need leadership that Singh, Trudeau, Scheer, May p. 6 is on our side, that will defend our jobs and take meaningful action on critical issues facing working people. Candidate Profiles NDP is on our side Given what has happened over the last four years, p. 8 I urge you as a USW member to vote for the New Democratic Party candidate in your riding. Here’s why: Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are the government of Activists broken promises. In the last election – as they always USW members get political do – the Liberals made promises straight out of the p. 10 NDP policy book. But once in power they governed much like the Conservatives – to serve corporations Voting Guide and the wealthy elite. What you need to know to vote Over the last four years, only the NDP has consistently p. 12 shown that it is fighting for Steelworkers and all working families. Only the NDP stood with Steelworkers from Day 1 in fighting steel and aluminum tariffs and opposing New USW Int’l President Thomas M. Conway takes the helm NAFTA2, particularly while the illegal tariffs remained p. 13 in place. Only the NDP stood with Steelworkers and workers across the country to fight rampant pension theft Our Heroes: Leo & Carol A tribute as leaders retire in corporate bankruptcies. The NDP, led by MP and p. 14 Steelworker Scott Duvall, introduced legislation to protect workers and pensioners – but it was opposed by Liberals and Conservatives. ABI Workers Ratify Only the NDP and Leader Jagmeet Singh are Local 9700 returns to work p. 16 proposing policies that put workers first, like the New Deal for People that will create hundreds of thousands of good, sustainable jobs. Hot Edict So let’s not be fooled. Let’s vote for our principles and Local 1-1937 fights for rights for hope for a better future. Let’s choose the party p. 19 that’s on our side – Jagmeet Singh and the NDP. Solidarity for Health and Safety In solidarity, Local 7085 stands strong p. 20 Inquiry Demands Action Ken Neumann USW responds to MMIWG report National Director p. 23 Report Card GOOD JOBS on the Issues USW has graded the parties on the issues that matter to Steelworkers.

Creer RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED TO THE HAMILTON CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMITTEE September 23, 2018 VOTING AGAINST ALL CA NABIS/MARIJUAUNA OUTLETS IN HAMILTON, ONTARIO Attn; Deputy Clerk Janet Pilon 2 HAMILTON COMMITTEE FOR CANNABIS meeting September 26th September 23, 2018 from S. J. Creer Greetings to all the Councillors and Mayor Eisenberger. A concerned submission about Cannabis. Cannabis is not safe! Cannabis is a dangerous, noxious product especially when smoked or ingested. It is a dangerous, gateway drug for many young adults. There are illegal cannabis users in my apartment complex that are dangerous and are also endangering the health of the many young children in the complex. I have presented to the City Public Health Committee as well. When I presented to the Health and Safet Committee Councillor Aiden Johnson was chairing the committee and he was complimentary in pointing out that I have been doing some good work in the community. I hope you will all continue to heed my concerns. If City Council will vote to take the high road (pun intended) and not allow Cannabis/Marijuana retailers they will set a precedent where Hamilton really is the best place to raise a child. The City will be one where children s health and developing bodies will not be negatively affected. In addition it will show to the youngsters in our community that their health is of utmost importance. There may be some money in the Cannabis industry but it will not be enough to offset the numerous mental health challenges youth face; there is a huge backlog for children/youth mental health services now as it is.
