Hamilton Copwatch and the families and friends of those healing from the trauma of police terror and brutality are calling on you to take to the streets in solidarity with the message that THIS ENDS NOW!

In response to the events of December 13th, wherein which Pamela Markland and her six kids (8 to 21) were terrorized by a paramilitary-style police invasion of their home as part of the Toronto Police-led ‘Project Marvel' raids in our city, we say NO MORE!

Thousands of union activists will be going to Hamilton on January 29 to show support for 900 steelworkers locked out by U.S. Steel since early November. The Toronto & York Region Labour Council is helping to co-ordinate the turnout, along with the Ontario Federation of Labour and Canadian Labour Congress.

This struggle has a number of key dimensions that relate to all Canadians like, de-indexing pensions, two-tier benefits, New Canadian Benefit and exposing the culprits of callous company tactics.
