In Canada, regulations adopted by every level of government have historically helped to make this one of the safest, most desirable places to raise a family. But a slow, steady, and quiet erosion of regulations by our governments put Canadians' health, safety and well-being increasingly at risk. This primer on regulation, by the CCPA's Trish Hennessy, tells the story of Canada's slippery slide into deregulation. It also provides resource information to learn more about regulation issues in Canada. Click to read the primer in English or in French.
The Public Service Alliance of Canada has a long history of standing up for strong regulations in Canada. They've launched a series of videos entitled "Keeping Canadians safe." The videos portray technical service workers articulating with pride, knowledge, and enthusiasm the important work they do to keep our skies, seas, and environment safe for all Canadians.

The CCPA’s bold vision and creative solutions help us imagine better futures for all. Its efforts to build bridges between labour, industry, and civil society and mentor young activists lay the foundation for realizing those provocative futures. I consider my support for the CCPA an investment in a better future for British Columbia.
