For starters, we look at how parties and their leaders are addressing working-class Canadians. There are plenty of 'business sections' in major outlets. With us, you will find a dedicated Labour Reporter focused on the impacts of policy on working people: https://pressprogress.ca/canadian-labour-unions-are-calling-on-the-government-to-protect-workers-from-trumps-tariff-war-heres-where-parties-stand-on-ei/

Canada’s far-right is targeting South Asian and Sikh Canadians to incite anti-immigrant hate:
“They are making them the focus of a lot of anti-immigrant narratives and we’re seeing the phrase ‘they have to go back’ being deployed a lot.”
