Charlie Angus will be in Port Elgin on Sept. 12 and Owen Sound on Sept. 13 as part of his Resistance tour, urging Canadians to stand up against U. S. President Donald Trump’s threats of annexation.
Angus, who stepped back from federal politics this spring after over twenty years representing Timmins-James Bay, has been traveling across Canada lately sharing his message of solidarity in response to Trump’s threats.
The event on Sept. 12 at Lakeshore Recreation in Port Elgin is co-hosted by the Bruce Grey Poverty Task Force, the Grey Bruce Health Coalition and the Grey Bruce Labour Council.
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.>

“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.>
