Many labour organizations have identified 5 separate pieces of legislation that favoured Labour and working families.  The voting records on these bills are informative.

Alberta’s MPs, all Conservative voted 100% against these bills.  A look at the voting records of all parties country wide gives us a better view of who is on our side.

The NDP supported these Bills 100% while the Bloc Quebecois was a close second at 95% support. The Liberals only voted in favour 40% of the time while the Conservatives mustered a measly .3% support. 

Ask yourself, who is on our side?

Every election thousands of votes from working men and women are missed for no other reason than they are working away from home.

While Elections Canada could do a much better job of facilitating the right of working people to cast a ballot, they have made some allowances that we can take advantage of.  All members and their families are strongly encouraged to exercise your right to vote!
