Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Poilievre, like Harper rules his party using fear, bullying and intimidation- the antitheses of his aim of freedom and happy days filled with prosperity. He is a lost, pathetic shell who will hang on by a fingernail until his party cuts him loose. The Conservatives are Maple Maga- a dying breed!

You've been an inspiration for many of us. Democratic Socialism is pretty much what the US had under FDR's New Deal. Corporate interests and Republicans have villainised it with lies and propaganda. Good luck, you've ran a terrific campaign and have given those outside NY hope as well.
