Unions? What unions? The “Just Transition” legislation talks about unions in the oilpatch.
The problem is, except for refining, oil sands and big inch pipeline construction, unions are all but non-existent in the oilpatch. But hey, the legislation also includes five year plans, with the exact implications of what that means. Total transformation of the economy.
The oilpatch is run by small independent contractors. Even staff in oil company facilities are contracted. Anyone whose bids are too high ain’t working. A unionized contractor won’t be around for long.
Be patient komrades. Two steps back, one step forward — towards a glorious Red Dawn. Utopia is just one more genocide away.
A message from Gosudarstvennyy Planovyy Komitet (State Planning Committee)
What else would you expect from a regime that is the illegitimate lovechild of the dogma of the NDP and theocracy of the Greens led by an entitled spawn of an admirer of Marx and Mao.
In other words, how to weasel NDP apparatchiks into the oil industry without getting their hands oily.
“Just Transition” Trudeau thought that meant those burly dudes were going to dress in sexy women’s lingerie.
