Ottawa, ON – Today, the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers endorsed Canada First Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for Prime Minister. 

The Boilermakers represent 12,000 workers across Canada, spanning the construction, shipbuilding, energy production and manufacturing industries. They understand better than anyone the importance of unleashing Canadian energy after the Lost Liberal Decade of red tape, job-killing regulations and punishing taxes. Poilievre’s plan will lower prices, deliver powerful paycheques for workers and bring home jobs from the United States. 

They also endorsed Poilievre’s ‘Boots Not Suits’ policy. This will bring home more training halls, direct grants and faster EI to apprentices and workers in the licensed trades, strengthening our economy. 

Only Conservatives will restore Canada’s promise: Where hard work gets you a great life, in a beautiful home, on a safe street, protected by solid borders and brave troops under a proud flag. That’s what it means to put Canada First.

The following are excerpts from the International Brotherhood Of Boilermaker’s Vice President, Arnie Stadnick’s, letter to Canadians: 

  • “It is in the interest of moving forward that the Office of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Canada is proud to announce today our endorsement for Pierre Poilievre and all the conservative candidates across Canada in this federal election.”
  • “Pierre gets it. He knows and understands that the surest and most sustainable route to providing a cleaner environment is through technology, not dismantling our energy sectors, raising taxes, importing energy from other nations, and shipping Canadian jobs abroad. Building and expanding energy infrastructure here at home with high-paying, high-quality employment opportunities with strong vibrant apprenticeship systems is the way to go.” 
  • “Pierre Poilievre’s commitment to Canada goes beyond our natural resources – he is also committed to protecting Canadian workers, with programs like his recently-announced “Boots not Suits” plan. This plan will provide funding for apprentice training and facilities, enhance safety, and make it easier for workers to go where the work is across Canada. This plan is designed to strengthen the workforce and reduce reliance on foreign labour, adding 350,000 Canadian workers to job sites over five years.”
