This is absurd and a totally unacceptable abuse of power.
The Public Safety and Immigration Ministers must explain how this happened and issue an apology forthwith.
Sadly, this government took only hours to side with Air Canada and AC shareholders. Undermining 10,000 workers trying stop their employer' longstanding wage theft. Shame. #cdnpoli#MarkCarney
Please see my statement on my decision to exercise my authorities under section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to direct the Canada Industrial Relations Board to arbitrate the dispute between CUPE Air Canada Flight Attendants and Air Canada:

Incredible that the Liberal government so quickly folded to Air Canada's request to intervene - HOURS into the @cupenat strike. Not even an attempt to look balanced at all. Zero effort to support workers' demand to be paid for hours worked. #aircanada#cdnpoli
It was an honour to join with sisters and brothers supporting flight attendants at YVR this morning!
The NDP stands with CUPE to defend free collective bargaining, fair wages and an end to forced free labour. Shame on Liberals for siding with corporate profits over workers!
Just came out of an emergency meeting of Canada's Unions. They unanimously supported the decision of the flight attendants to defy the government's order. They'll raise money for the legal fight and mobilize their members to support flight attendants. The gov made a big mistake.
@TomPark1n It appears you released this confidential information while Federal Council was still meeting, despite them outlining comms protocol. I understand we're all eager to know but this seriously undermines trust in the party and is disrespectful to caucus members like @LeahGazan
Doug Ford has absolutely no respect for the public spaces and public institutions that so many Ontarians hold dear.
How heartbreaking to see the destruction of the Ontario Science Centre and Ontario Place.
Good things do NOT grow in Fordnation's Ontario.

Criminalizing, jailing, dehumanizing people experiencing homelessness is not the answer.
In fact, jailing the unhoused costs MILLIONS more per yr than any real deep affordable housing would.
Ford wants safer municipalities? Invest in people NOW, not fantasy tunnels! #onpoli
Congratulations to Don Davies on stepping into this new role! He’s going to be a strong interim leader who’ll speak up, ask the tough questions, and stand up for what matters most to Canadians.
Exactly this. Many of us understood that and the necessity of caucus being most in the loop on this to confirm this info, after their incredible work. I am sorry to hear that @LeahGazan found out via the news/ a pundit tweet.
@LeahGazan Federal council members were asked to not share the news until caucus members were notified first.
We have a long road to rebuild this party, let’s focus on that.
Voted early at the #BeachesEastYork returning office for our wonderful NDP candidate @Progressivista 🧡
Open M-F 9 am - 9 pm, Saturday 9 am - 6 pm, Sunday 12-4 pm at 2575 Danforth. Printed ballots arrive April 9, so you may have to write in the name of your preferred candidate!
You can’t get the resources you need, so you have to go above and beyond every single day: @mirandaknightH to the @osstf Union Leadership Academy. #onpoli
Pierre Poliviere’s brand of conservatism is farther right than we have seen in Canada in generations. It is more like we see in other countries: @wilsnat at the @osstf Union Leadership Academy today. (😍)
Learning this AM from @Brownrox about how Black child poverty was cut in half in 2021 via the Child Tax Credit - expanded under the American Rescue Plan. It has expired and right now the Republicans are holding it hostage again.
This is what having progressive @NDP representatives in #Ottawa can do - first a dental plan, then the foundations of pharmacare - and today Federal Anti-Scab Legislation to restore balance and fairness. @cupenat@CUPEOntario@OFLabour
The Conservative Party spent HOW much on political attack ads last month?! 🥊
