🇨🇦 PSAC Whistleblowers Can't Even Get Back on the Ballot — Democracy Is for Other People

Three suspended executives from PSAC component unions are now in Ontario Superior Court fighting for the right to simply run in their own union's elections. Their suspensions have already expired, yet the parent union is using court delays to ensure they miss the April 14 delegate deadline for September's convention. One of the suspended officials, Alisha Kang, claims she was removed just as she was preparing to expose financial irregularities — including a scheme involving fabricated grievances settled as human rights damages.

PSAC controls a $172.8 million annual budget, almost entirely from member dues, and represents 240,000 federal workers. Its national president Sharon DeSousa declined to comment. Of course she did. This is the same union that routinely lectures the country about workers' rights, democratic principles, and institutional accountability — while internally running what its own suspended executives describe as an abuse-of-power operation designed to purge critics before they reach the convention floor. The Canadian public sector union apparatus is not a democratic institution. It is a closed political machine that collects mandatory dues, funds the left, and silences anyone who notices.
