Labour Council president Kevin Smith praised Angus as one of the strongest voices advocating for Canadian solidarity, strength and resilience.

“Canadian sovereignty, the social safety net, human rights, Indigenous rights and labour rights are all under attack,” Smith said in a news release. “Global conflict is accelerating instability, and the residents of Grey, Bruce and Huron counties will not be spared from the negative consequences that this creates.”>
The event’s diverse group of co-sponsors “puts a face on the negative consequences of attacks on Canada and vast global uncertainty,” according to the release.>
“Make no mistake this uncertainty along with the Trump regime and their attempts to cripple Canada’s economy through immoral and unethical attacks on our economy through tariffs, for example, will exaggerate the damage already done to public service funding for critical services such as healthcare and make it much worse for those already experiencing poverty and food insecurity and the daily struggle to survive,” adds the release.>
