Quebec

Our coverage of Amazon’s sudden layoffs in Quebec helped bring attention to a major local issue that was making waves internationally. By giving a platform to voices like organizer and former Amazon worker Mostafa Henaway, we helped spark an important conversation and dialogue about labour rights, corporate power, and the fight for fair working conditions. The mass layoffs of nearly 2,000 workers across Amazon’s Quebec warehouses was allegedly not isolated or disconnected from other factors, but rather influenced by surrounding circumstances and prior similar events.

The story Montreal Marches for National Day of Truth and Reconciliation shows a large-scale demonstration in Montreal, where thousands gathered to recognize the ongoing impacts of Canada’s residential school system. The march, which was held on September 30, and is also known as Orange Shirt Day, was part of a national movement to honour residential school survivors and commemorate the children who did not return home.
