Joseph has proudly been involved in his local unions and the Labour Movement and involved in the Peace and Anti-War movements for several years.

Reason for running

submitted by the candidate or their team
I am running in this election with the Communist Party of Canada to offer working people a better future and to have a real voice for them, a real alternative and for peace and prosperity, not more austerity and wars.

For the past almost decade, I have been involved with advocacy, activism and political organizing. Yet, year after year things have gotten harder for working people, with no respite. We see raising prices, declining or stagnant real wages, privatization and other public cutting like Healthcare and record high corporate profits.

I believe that communists, working together with the labour and social movements, now and after the election, can fight for a people's agenda that puts people and the environment before corporate profits and war. We deserve better, and we should demand more. One job should be enough. Roll Back Prices & Corporate Prices - Raise Wages & Living Standards!
