The Conservative government under Doug Ford is in a deep crisis. Poll after poll has shown their plummeting popularity. Just last week, Premier Ford was booed by nearly 2 million Raptors fans at their recent celebration in Toronto. Such widespread animosity shows the extent to which ordinary Ontarians oppose his austerity agenda. And it means the work we are all doing is even more important.

When he shuffled his cabinet last week, Premier Doug Ford hoped to hit the reset button on his government. He removed Laurie Scott, the Minister of Labour who took away our $15 minimum wage, paid sick days, the right to equal pay for equal work and so many other protections on the job. But, he then replaced her with Monte McNaughton, who is well-known for his anti-worker views. While Premier Ford may want to change the face of his Cabinet, he is clearly not interested in changing course. This is why it’s crucial we use the summer months to redouble our organizing effort and grow our numbers -- so that we can be bigger and stronger to defend our communities against the cuts and rollbacks we know are coming.
