Carney is such a moron. This is such a gift to MAGA wannabe Pierre Poilievre…
What? Poilievre would do the same thing, if not make it worse. Governments have been doing this exact tactic for a couple decades now and unions have had their power eroded for some time. It’s about time someone put a stick in the mud and said “Not this time!” Don’t “My guy would be better” this shit, they are all complicit and don’t delude yourself of that. Those fuckers are all on the same side, with different coloured Tshirts. They all play the game against us. And they’ve been ahead for way too long, we need to take the power back.
Didn’t Trudeau do the exact same thing with another strike? Can’t have had that much of an impact if Carney ended up with a majority.
E: Looks like he at least legislated Canada Post back to work in 2024, possibly more earlier.
Trudeau started using this vague section to bypass legislating but Carney is doubling down on it. And Carney only won because of Trump’s direct attacks on Canada’s sovereignty. And even on that front he is failing. He’s acting like US bitch and at the same time trying to pass massive surveillance laws akin to US FISA to share the data with the US.
On Carney, he seems to be very similar to Stephen Harper. Imo this is less a missed opportunity by the liberals and more him being an ideologically-driven fascist doing exactly the things he wants to do.
