If companies know that the government will union-bust for them, they won’t even need to consider bargaining in good faith anymore.
Oh, how much has Air Canada fallen (from once being a publicly, federally-owned corporation).
Shame on this government. Shame.

Canada’s Liberals hate unions.
It took them less than 13 hours for @pattyhajdu.bsky.social to force arbitration upon Air Canada flight attendants— the very same people currently facing dozens of hours of *unpaid work* every month— and resubjecting them to these same working conditions.

Fascinating how it’s always the fault of alienated voters and never the fault of those who knowingly and needlessly alienated them.

Any responsible jurist should have a healthy disrespect for the law.
One that accounts for human rights, democratic values, and foundational tenets. This includes acknowledging that genocides, forced disappearances, arbitrary government actions, etc. must be stopped at all costs.

This may be one of the worst moments in history to fetishize the law or the quality of being law-abiding.

If you’re going to say that it’s black humor, you better be moving mountains at the council table. You better be constantly held back by your colleagues when you try to make motions.
If you’re not, I don’t give the same benefit of the doubt.

This is a great point. For example, when I look back at the epochal changes of this past January, I would personally have voted not to confirm Marco Rubio
We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?"
This is our moment. This is our time.
We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

The second best option would have been to repeal it prior to this year.
