CN Strikes

It’s a goodwill gesture to show Alberta isn’t a petulant entitled prick like Quebec. 100 cars of propane is bugger all in the grande scheme. Lovely to see Quebec eat crow.

Nope phuck them....don't need to feel sorry for them considering the stupid shit the separatist said since the election

God Canada is messed up. Ford sells out to Trudeau this afternoon and Kenny orders 100 cars of propane fast tracked to Quebec.

And then we will stand there stunned again when the GTA screws us, Trudeau tries to destroy us and Quebec insults us daily.

Western alienation will continue, until morale improves . . . . . . . . at least Quebec's morale should improve now.
The liberal leader will be pleased to see his squabbling children co-operating with each other, he will be a beaming proud parent. Where would we be without good ole Dad . . . .

What happened to "let the eastern bastards freeze in the Dark"? We got them "over a barrel" of propane!

Kenny/Moe answer...trade you propane for a pipeline?

Who cheered when Fort Macmurry burned? Anybody who would do that is also an asshole!

Rebuilding Fort Macmurry was going to make the economy boom. Especially Quebec jyprock when Trudeau was going to ban US jyprock trouble is Trump jumped in and band Canadian plywood.

If safety was the main issue why didn't the union take immediate action when the contract expired in July? I have no problem striking all summer. They picked this time of year for maximum effect. Give them a window and set dates for contract negotiation and job action. There's periods that should be off limits.

Contract end dates are like Christmas ...they know when the date is .....its a breakdown and now its management using the propane issue to force the government into action...

I sure hope our farm groups are taking notes on the Quebec blackmail again....

The same ambulance chaser such as yourself who promoted a bunch of media and social media stories, using the opportunity to blame the very same people who were suffering from the fires for causing them. And blatantly stating that they deserved it. Do a google search, I wouldn't doubt that you made a post or twenty on the topic even.

Much the same as a few days ago when you used the deaths and destruction of the Australian bushfires for the same agenda.

Nationalization will not help. You still have unions to deal with and strikes will still happen. Just because the government replaces a private owner does not solve labor issues. In fact, it probably increases labor unrest and inflates salaries and costs even higher.

No, instead of outlawing strikes or adding more socialism, the government should simply pass a law that for any essential service or for any service for which there is not competition, instead of allowing a strike, any and all negotiation that cannot be settled between parties goes immediately to a jury process whereby both parties present their case before an impartial jury of Canadians chosen at random and who have the binding power to impose the last offer by either party on the other. For example, if a company is offering 1% raise over 2 years and the union is seeking 5% raise over 3 years then each present the reasons for these last offers to the jury and by majority the jury chooses either the 1% over 2 years or 5% over 3 amount and that becomes binding on both parties for the term of the contract. There is no compromise, it is either/or as determined by a jury


There is no arbitration, no strike, no lockouts after regular negotiation has failed. The party that made the most reasonable offer in the view of average Canadians will have "won."

This would stop outlandish demands in the first place and make it more likely that negotiations would result in contracts as no side would want to publicly loss in the negotiation or jury awarded contract.

But the current railway structure has not looked forward enough to handle our future exports....
