Fred Hahn Ousted as CUPE Turns on Its Own Activist Leadership
Fred Hahn’s removal from his national position at CUPE marks more than the downfall of a single leader—it exposes how deeply Canada’s largest unions have been captured by ideological activism. For years, CUPE Ontario has drifted from collective bargaining and workers’ rights toward political radicalism, social-justice campaigns, and foreign-policy crusades. Hahn’s ousting wasn’t just about his rhetoric—it was about what CUPE has become.
At this week’s CUPE National Convention, delegates voted to reject a resolution endorsing the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement and to strip Hahn of his vice-presidency. But the documents coming out of the convention reveal a far more troubling picture. Fewer than one in ten resolutions addressed bread-and-butter issues like wages, pensions, or working conditions. Roughly a third of the agenda was devoted to ideological or geopolitical issues—condemning capitalism, demanding Canada withdraw from NATO, and promoting “decolonial” activism. Another fifth focused on social-justice and identity-based causes, often framed in the jargon of intersectionality and systemic oppression.
This is not what organized labour was built for. Unfortunately, as postmodern and neo-Marxist ideas have taken root in academia and public institutions, unions like CUPE have absorbed their language wholesale. The result is a new kind of labour politics—one that replaces class solidarity with identity hierarchies and economic pragmatism with moral absolutism.
Under this model, the goal is no longer to secure better contracts or safer workplaces, but to advance an overarching ideological project. Every issue—from climate to gender to foreign policy—is filtered through the same moral lens of oppression and liberation. And in doing so, unions risk alienating the very people they exist to serve.
New report denounces Havana and claims ‘campaign of subversion’ has infiltrated highest levels of US government
"...There is overwhelming evidence that the machinery of the Cuban Government has been progressively organized around… a fundamental hatred of the United States,” the report stated. “Many of the most significant upheavals in recent American political history —from the George Floyd riots to the rise of Antifa to the explosion of pro-terrorist activism on American college campuses— can be linked, in some way, shape, or form to Cuban influence.”
The report doesn’t just hand-wave. It names names. It details how the Venceremos Brigade and other “revolutionary tourism” programs have funneled thousands of American activists to Havana for ideological (and sometimes literal) weapons training.
The Venceremos Brigade has brought 10,000 American activists to Cuba since 1969. This is because nothing says “I am fighting for the oppressed working class” quite ...
Now there is a plan! Of course dumb Canadians will not have the courage to vote with their brains, instead of their propagandized feelings of fear.
Canada’s economy is stalling badly.
We just endured the worst decade for real GDP growth per person since the Great Depression.
Over the past ten years, real GDP per capita limped along at an average of just 0.6% annually.
And Bloomberg’s consensus forecast for 2026? A paltry 0.7%.
Why does GDP matter?
Because family disposable income follows GDP like a shadow. Anemic economic growth resulting from lower investment means stagnant wages. Period.
The Liberals and fake Conservatives won't fix this.
The People's Party has a comprehensive plan to unleash private investment, supercharge productivity, and put more money back into your pocket:
Make the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA) permanent – Let businesses write off capital investments rapidly and skyrocket cash flow.
End Corporate Welfare – Zero subsidies. Zero bailouts. Zero regional ...
