The government’s intervention in the rail dispute is especially troubling for a number of reasons.

For starters, this was an employer lockout imposed in an effort to extract concessions that rail workers argue will make both themselves and the broader public less safe.

Larry Hubich, former president of the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour, in fact argues that the rail employers, along with other companies who are members of FETCO (Federally Regulated Employers – Transportation and Communications), were trying to cause enough economic disruption through the lockout to force the government to curtail rail and federal workers’ rights to strike. It seems the government largely obliged.

Which next election? The presidential election? Surely, you must be joking.

Why would you assume they’re talking about a foreign election in a country that doesn’t even have a Conservative or Liberal party?

Trudeau really is just going to tow the party line to his proverbial grave. I can’t remember the last time I saw a positive story about this party.

How about the fact that more people can get dental care? Or that daycare is affordable for more families?

Don’t let an algorithm undermine actual good things that have been happening.

We don’t get to vote for the perfect party. We choose the least-worse from those who can win and deliver on their plan.
