I don't beleive that cynical take for a second. The federal government has an obligation to consider the nationwide impact of a work stoppage, especially in a natural oligopoly like rail that moves a billion dollars of goods accross the country every day. In the end the arbitration is likely to favor the workers as it has on average in Canada.

It's practically a Canadian tradition to swap out an unpopular party leader as either a sacrifice or a rebrand.

We will be lucky to get away with 4 years. A generation of young men is being swayed conservative in the smoke pits of the internet and I'm worried we'll suffer a lost decade of governance by bumper sticker weirdos.

I'm hopeful the LPC will maintain confidence through their term with NDP support, in absense of the formal agreement.

I'd have much preferred to see the agreement last until next year. Finish at least getting the senate bills passed, give Trudeau another year of appointing liberal and, basically, not conservative senators.

This is an important observation that I wish more people would make. Conservative groups constantly pick at the fringes of behaviour to justify their policy positions.

You see if everywhere once you know to look.

He'll govern like Harper too, like Harper if he grew up on 4chan.

Polinever is still a shit face baby nazi weasel

Yes, and while I am a liberal who generally supports the Liberals in Canada, I absolutely will vote to keep Pierre out of power, whatever that means at the time. I have no real animosity with social democrats.

Yes, they did, and it's arguable still. Given how many downstream jobs and the lives attached to them would be hurt by a sustained lock out of our dual member rail oligopoly I think binding arbitration is a preferrable option.

Binding arbitration is often opposed by both employers and employees, for different reasons. Amongst employers it's because Canadian arbitrators don't take ability to pay / fund into consideration when determining compensation and benefit changes, and so actually favor employees more.

I think it is certainly arguable, it's fairly standard political hyperbole. Singh must remember not three months ago Bill c_58 came into effect, banning scabs (replacement workers) from being brought in during a strike or lock out.

The claim "proven again and again he will always cave to corporate greed" is, frankly, demonstrably false.

Jeeze, I haven't been watching this season. Looks like I'm missing out.

Only 20%, that's pretty big for a single source.

I don't put my fast food experience on my resume, it was 25 years ago, but I have brought it up in interviews to talk about team work and pressure, and to demonstrate that I've been learning and improving for 25 years.

I did not know that was a thing and I absolutely would buy one. Thank you.

Indeed, as I said in another thread my conservative relatives are too busy “protecting” their kids from trans people in under 8 sports to stop and think about whether or not its right to slap their own kids for minor misbehaviour.

No disk drive is no purchase from me. I even saved up the money to buy one, but I won't without a disk drive.

They're basically that Seymour Skinner meme. They go to college, don't grow as people at all, then stand around like:

"Did I learn nothing from my time here? No, it's the educated who are wrong"

Right? What does he thinks the VP does exactly?

Very interesting results, especially with the rise of AI Bot driven interviews who could filter people out over it.
