Canadian Labour Congressb>

The Canadian Labour Congressb> is a national UNION CENTRAL founded on 23 April 1956 from the merger of the CANADIAN CONGRESSb> OF LABOUR and the TRADES AND LABOR CONGRESSb> OF CANADA.
Provincial and territorial federations of labour and municipal labour councils co-ordinate comparable programs of CLC affiliates.
In 1961 the CLC and the CO-OPERATIVE COMMONWEALTH FEDERATION leaders joined to form the NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY, a link that has been maintained ever since.

Jodoin, Claude, The Canadian Labour Congressb> and Free Trade Unions Throughout the World

Just as the Canadian Labour Congressb> is the central body for a large number of unions in Canada, so we also have an international organization--the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions--to which various national organizations belong.
When a platform of principles was adopted by the Trade and Labor Congressb> in Winnipeg in 1898, the first item was "free compulsory education".
The structure of the labour movement is not unlike that of the Commonwealth.

Nigeria - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Nigeria

The leaders of the coup stressed that the military government was an interim measure to be followed by free elections.
In 1960 full independence was granted to the federation, which became a member of the Commonwealth.
Nigeria's new head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces was Brig Murtala Ramat Muhammad, who announced immediate changes in the military leadership, and ‘retired’ all former members of the government, state governors, civilian federal commissioners, and all administrators of East Central State.

Nigeria - Columbia Encyclopedia article about Nigeria

The People's Democratic party (the centrist party of General Obasanjo) dominated the elections; the other two leading parties were the Alliance for Democracy (a Yoruba party of the southwest, considered to be progressive), and the All People's party (a conservative party based in the north).
Nigeria has a 500-mile (800-km) coastline, for the most part made up of sandy beaches, behind which lies a belt of mangrove swamps and lagoons that averages 10 mi (16 km) in width but increases to c.60 mi (100 km) wide in the great Niger delta in the east.
The constitution proved unworkable by 1952, and a new one, solidifying the division of Nigeria into three regions (Eastern, Western, and Northern) plus the Federal Territory of Lagos, came into force in 1954.

Canada/US Relations

The first Agreement, before Parliament and Congressb> in 1987, was followed by a Canadian election in fall of 1988 in which the free trade question figured importantly.
His budget of 1963 proposed a tax on foreign takeovers of Canadian firms.
Indeed, though Canadians are quite properly pleased to be able to claim victory against the USA in the War of 1812, no one doubts that the presence of professional imperial forces was significant in the outcome.

As the senior executives of major Canadians companies shared their vast knowledge of infrastructure development, they were in turn confronted by the enlightened and imaginative views of academics, creators, consumers, teachers or independent business people whose perspectives were often radically different.
However, what we are entitled to expect, as are all Canadians, is that the government not relent in its determination to make the building of Canada's communications and information infrastructure one of our national priorities, as stated in its January 1994 Speech from the Throne.
The Working Group on Canadian Content and Culture discussed the potential for revisions to the Broadcasting Act to include the words sound or visual images, or a combination of sound and visual images, that are intended to inform, enlighten or entertain, and contribute to the attainment of the objectives and policies of the Act.

Nigeria (03/06)

Along with the endemic malaise of Nigeria's non-oil sectors, the economy continues to witness massive growth of "informal sector" economic activities, estimated by some to be as high as 75% of the total economy.
Although the trade balance overwhelmingly favors Nigeria, thanks to oil exports, a large portion of U.S. exports to Nigeria is believed to enter the country outside of the Nigerian Government's official statistics, due to importers seeking to avoid Nigeria's excessive tariffs.
State and local governmental bodies demand access to this "windfall" revenue, creating a tug-of-war between the federal government, which seeks to control spending, and state governments desirous of augmented budgets preventing the government from making provision for periods of lower oil prices.

: Mourning Dennis McDermott, a leader of working people

A challenge to Canada& system by the medical profession and some right-of-centre provincial governments evoked a strong response from the Canadian Labour Congressb> through the formation of a vigorous citizens’ coalition.
McDermott played a prominent role in articulating the key elements of the CLC program for economic and social reform and was instrumental in mobilizing the resources of the Canadian labour movement in combatting wage controls and wage concessions in the public and private sectors.
Later, in response to the horrendous burden of oppressively high interest rates which created unprecedented unemployment and economic chaos throughout Canada, McDermott emerged as a leading spokesman for a broad-based coalition calling for fundamental changes in Canadian economic and social policies.

SPECIAL PRESS STATEMENT BY THE NIGERIA LABOUR CONGRESSb> ON NIGERIA

This is why the leadership of Congressb> is working on the idea of having peace rallies all over the country to expose the ruling class machination in all the disturbances and encourage our people to recognise the commonality of their interests.
Thus, Nigeria’s corporate survival is being threatened by the actions of those expected to give it meaning.
Often, in fact, its bulldozers mow down business premises of small holdings while taxes and levies mercilessly erode their meagre capital – in a country where the rich are notoriously tax-shy.
