Today we lost a great man, politician and a true Canadian. Former Transport Minister, Marc Garneau was incredibly supportive to Canadian Federation of Musicians using his ministerial prerogative to “ensure carriage” of musical instruments. Eternally grateful RIP. @Transport_gc

We stand in Solidarity with our Union Siblings! Writers and Actors must be paid fairly. Anything less is theft! #1u #SolidarityRocks @writersguildwest @wgaeast @sagaftra @afm_union

@JustinTrudeau hailed @the_mptf for it's "unmatched" commitment to support Canadian & U.S. Musicians at it's 75th Anniversary, announcing a 33% increase in Canadian market funding. Last year alone @the_mptf supported 1,000+ live music events & distributed $1M+ to union musicians.

Spoke w/ @PMTrudeau about the Ford govt’s unprecedented use of the Notwithstanding Clause. The federal govt must intervene w/ the Disallowance Clause to stop Ford from taking a sledgehammer to workers’ rights. These actions demand a strong response. #StandWithCUPE #onlab #canlab
