On April 28, Canadians have the power to shape the future of our country. The Public and Private Workers of Canada (PPWC) urges all members — and all working people — to get out and vote.
Our votes are our voices. They are how we protect our rights, demand fairness, and fight for a better future. Workers across Canada have won many important protections — like fair wages, health and safety standards, and public healthcare — because generations before us stood together and made their voices heard at the ballot box.
Today, those rights are under threat. Big corporations and wealthy elites are working harder than ever to influence policy in their favour, often at the expense of working families. If we stay silent, we risk losing the gains we fought so hard to achieve. If we act, we can elect leaders who will invest in social services and good paying jobs, strengthen labour laws, tackle the climate crisis, and ensure dignity for every worker.
The stakes are too high for any of us to sit this election out. Whether it’s protecting pensions, improving access to affordable housing, or securing better wages, the decisions made in Ottawa will have real impacts on our lives. Every vote matters — and together, working people can make the difference.
Talk to your coworkers, your family, and your friends. Make a plan to vote. Let’s stand together on April 28 to defend our rights, build a fairer Canada, and show the true power of working people.
After all, the PPWC is a proudly democratic union, and what better way to celebrate this than to vote in a free and fair democratic election.
The future is ours to shape — but only if we show up. Let’s vote.
In Solidarity,
Public and Private Workers of Canada
