Fred Hahn on Election Day: Canvassing for the NDP in Toronto Centre and University Rosedale

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--President of CUPE Ontario, Fred Hahn, will be in Toronto Centre and University Rosedale canvassing for NDP candidates and speaking with residents about the issues that matter.

He’ll be reminding people that the Ford Conservative government capped wages through the unconstitutional Bill 124, funded the for-profit long-term care facilities that saw the greatest number of deaths and illness during the pandemic, cut public services, and refused to legislate permanent and paid sick days.

“We’re at a critical moment in our province’s history,” said Hahn. “We can continue to go down the road of cuts, chaos, and confusion – or we can protect, fortify, and expand public services. It’s time to elect the NDP because only they will build the Ontario we deserve.”

WHO:

 

Fred Hahn, President of CUPE Ontario.

   

 

WHAT:

 

Canvassing to elect two NDP candidates.

   

 

WHEN:

 

Thursday, June 2, 9:00 am – 3:00 pm in Toronto Centre; 4:00 pm – 9:00 pm in University Rosedale.

   

 

WHERE:

 

Available via telephone or in person. Call or email Daniel Tseghay at 647-220 9739 or dtseghay@cupe.ca to be connected.
