Summary
A Senate committee’s explosive new report, “Keep Canada Moving,” proposes radical changes to labor bargaining for port and rail workers—aiming to slash strikes and stabilize supply chains by introducing a new tribunal with binding arbitration powers and rewriting the Canada Labour Code. But organized labor is furious, calling it a direct assault on workers’ rights and warning it could criminalize strikes. Meanwhile, the economic toll is real: a single CPKC stoppage cost $340 million daily, and farmers say disruptions cripple their livelihoods. The Senate will debate adoption—but even if passed, the government isn’t guaranteed to follow through, leaving Canada caught between economic efficiency and worker solidarity.
