They\u2019re literally shovel-ready<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CLC<\/div>\n

Six months into this pandemic, millions of Canadians want to be working, but the jobs aren\u2019t there.<\/p>\n

There are shovel-ready projects the federal government can green-light today. Those jobs would help to kick-start our economy.<\/p>\n

Our economic recovery depends on these projects.<\/p>\n

Email your MP and your provincial\/territorial decision-makers and tell them to make jobs their priority. We know this is one of the best ways to get a politician\u2019s attention \u2013 and get some action happening in Ottawa.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for a Canadian plan that disaster-proofs our communities. We need a plan that works for us by taking care of everyone, especially through hard times.<\/p>\n

In the pandemic, businesses shut down and travel restrictions are imposed. Many of us stayed quarantined at home. As a result, people with low-wage jobs had their hours cut or lost their jobs altogether. Essential workers put themselves at risk by serving the public.<\/p>\n

Many of those workers are women, Black, Indigenous, people of colour, young people, and people with disabilities. They are feeling the biggest impact from this health crisis.<\/p>\n

Tell decision-makers they need to fix this by replacing lost jobs with better jobs. We\u2019ve written the letter \u2013 all you have to do is add your name and hit send.\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

With millions of jobs lost, we need a shovel-ready plan to replace those jobs with better ones. We need investments in green infrastructure, educating our youth, and caring for others.<\/p>\n

Thank you for taking this important step,\u00a0Siddhartha.<\/p>\n
