Working conditions are about power—and permanent status allows workers to exert it.
The pandemic has exacerbated the existing crisis that migrants live in as a result of being denied basic rights and protections.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, our writers and researchers have provided groundbreaking commentary and analysis that has shaped Canada's response to COVID-19. We've fought for better supports for workers affected by pandemic closures, safer working conditions on the frontline, and more. With the launch of the new Monitor site, we're working harder than ever to share even more progressive news, views and ideas for Canada's road to recovery. Help us grow.
