This would have been an excellent time for the Prime Minister aspiring to lead a coalition of middle powers to say:
“Canada does not believe that threats of annihilation are acceptable. Period.”
This lawyer explains why so-called guardrails Carney includes in this bill create a cog in a machine built to deny workers their right to strike.
Then ministers, in deciding what the “national interest” is in quashing a strike, can consider the “impact on the Canadian economy.”
Avi Lewis: "Mark Carney is basically asking us all to trust him that we're going to double down on the most profitable corporations and sectors to build even more corporate profits. And somehow this time, unlike all the previous times, it's going to trickle down, lift all boats and benefit us all. There is zero evidence that that's how it works."
The real nature of this government is starting to appear. The Liberals are planning to undermine collective bargaining by eliminating workers’ constitutional right to strike. Workers build this country, and they deserve fair and safe workplaces.
The NDP requested an emergency debate in Parliament over the plan to open up Canada's four largest airports to private investment.
The speaker said no.
Cool.
Harper has spent his post-political career publicly endorsing, and directly supporting, far-right politicians and autocratic dictators all over the world.
The fact that he continues to gush over Carney should be a huge warning sign for all Canadians.
Earlier this week, Prime Minister Carney announced his plans to privatize Canada’s largest airports.
So, I went to YVR to ask Canadians what they think (spoiler: they don’t share his enthusiasm).

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to create a new provision in the Criminal Code that would make it an offence to knowingly record in public, a person the recorder knows is experiencing “prescribed circumstance of significant vulnerability” for the purposes of publishing or distributing that recording to the public.
Canadian airports are public infrastructure. So why is Mark Carney promising to hand over our public airports to private foreign investors?
Instead, let's build better airports, support Canadian workers, improve service and safety, and keep the benefits public.
