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.
Honestly because of his leadership, my future votes will be going towards NDP or Greens. The Liberals have lost my vote forever. I voted Liberal to avoid a Conservative government and I feel like I ended up with one anyways.
I grew up in Saskatchewan during a time when almost everyone automatically voted NDP ... much of that because of Tommy Douglas' and the CCF/NDP legacy.
For years now I've mostly voted strategically, except for the rare times I've voted my choice. But this utter betrayal by the Liberals has burned that bridge.
It's NDP every time from now on.
Do you know why the CCF fell out of favour? Tommy Douglas had a really long tenure so he must have done well. What did him in? If you know. 😊
In my riding (historically strong NDP) that kind of thinking got a conservative MP elected. I'm sure similar situations played out across the country.
NDP doesn't really campaign in my province, Liberals had the better shot here.
