As a shocking move (not) the liberal government side with AirCanada patrons and forced the flight attendants union to go in legal arbitration (right word ?)
If you liked spammed your social with photo of Patricia Hadjy and PM Carney with the #UnpaidWorkWontfly
Love & Rage
I am utterly gutted at Carney’s leadership. He’s followed the Liberal old guard’s mandate the same way Trudeau did, and we’re all paying the price for that.
I truly believed he would be tough enough to do the right thing and so far he’s done just the opposite.
His campaign was basically a trick. We dodged Poilievre’s clueless reactionary Trumpism-lite, but got conservatism by other means. Corporate-friendly centrist liberals who don’t deliver for the people will never stave off fascism for long. Canada and the UK are both in this position right now. We need electoral reform that would allow smaller parties to get a foothold and prove themselves. Under current conditions the first-past-the-post system seems to guarantee a slow drift into the jaws of the far right.
The Liberals will never give us electoral reform though, and the smaller parties are now too small to be able to force their hand. If the NDP can remember to be a left party and find a leader with broad appeal, then maybe things could be different for the election after the next one.
Recall that Jagmeet “Singh” was actually from the upper crust of Indian social structure. His actual family name is Dhaliwal.
He was never on our side.
That’s a weird take. Family name and upbringing aside, he was the most “on our side” politician available at the time. I think his main fault was simply that he wasn’t very likeable.
Hes a rich fuck who used the NDP to further his own things. Hes as much on our side as Taylor Swift or any of the Trumps.
He didnt do jack shit for Vancouver after he was parachuted into one of the safest NDP strongholds in the country and it is directly on head for losing it.
