Did everyone forget that the Bank of Canada announced ‘Canadians must accept a lower standard of living’? or the fact their ‘sovereign wealth fund’ idea is literally tax payer funded via debt? or their plan to ‘attract’ 1 trillion in investment (read as ‘private equity coming in and reaping Canadian resources while we give them very favourable terms’). Gee, I wonder why they want to union bust.
This government has forgotten what a general strike is. On the other hand, unions today are so pathetically weak that they can’t even stand up for each other.
Fucking working class traitor.
We elected him to fight against the U.S. economic attacks and because he promised to help the struggling middle class, make Canada build social housing again, etc.
Now he’s essentially eroding our rights to have any dignity. Healthcare, education, infrastructure, access to affordable housing, access to afordable food, working conditions, all are threatened under Carney, to favor the rich elites who are running the fucking show in this country.
Not to mention how he’s essentially enabling the U.S. and their economic attacks on our economy, their phony trade deals, and their involvement in genocide with Israel.
Fucking shameful.
I can’t believe we have to wait 4 years before getting rid of this asshole. There should be a vote of confidence every year to trigger new elections if the people are unhappy. Along with proportional voting.
I’m so sick of this shit.
Guess it’s time to strike harder. These rights were not gained by listening nicely to government.
This is super depressing. I did not expect a lot from Carney but I hoped he won’t be as bad on labour since that contradicts his growth plans. Without strong labour the benefits won’t trickle down and we’d find ourselves in another confidence crisis as prices won’t stop rising. PP will appear vindicated and he’ll campaign on “I told you the banker is a fake”
Skippy pretending to care about worker’s rights. That’ll be… fun. I imagine the Manning Centre’s PR machine working overtime on another makeover right now. Brainstorming, “what do workers look like” and next time he steps out it’ll be in overalls and a big straw hat, or an old school rail porter’s uniform. It’ll be up there with Harper’s weird cowboy leather daddy moment.
It is depressing. Thinking about Carney’s Davos speech where he referenced Havel’s Power of the Powerless, taking the “workers of the world unite” sign out of the window. I didn’t think he meant it literally.
Crushing labour is a key part of any growth plan. When they say “growth”, they mean short term profits (line go up), not improvements in quality of life.
How the fuck is he a liberal? Who nominated him? How have dozens of former liberals not crossed the floor to the NDP? He is worse than Harper. Beyond PP’s dreams! Fucking alarming.
Liberals have rarely been pro-labour. While the Trudeau gov’t did some positive welfare changes, it tipped the scales on many strikes for corpos. Chretien did austerity and bargaining freezes, etc. Pierre Trudeau also harmed labour in various ways.
The rampant use of Section 107 as a strike-breaking tool started under Trudeau’s Liberal government.
Mulroney in a red tie.
