I looked him right in the eyes, I said. We’ll never support […] back to work, binding arbitration.”
Freight traffic on Canada’s two largest rail networks could resume “within days,” Labour Minister Steve MacKinnon said Thursday after sending two labour disputes to binding arbitration.
Canadian National Railway Co. (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. (CPKC) locked out 9,300 engineers, conductors and yard workers just after midnight Thursday, capping months of increasingly tense and bitter labour negotiations.
Less than 17 hours after the lockout began, MacKinnon announced he’s using his powers as labour minister to step in.
Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code allows the government to refer a labour dispute to the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to find a solution.
It’s all bullshit, of course.
Strongly worded tweet update!
Punchline: Air Canada pilots vote 98% in favour of strike action.
So, what are the odds that Canada will have a fall Election?
Exactly zero.
LOL please Jagmeet will do as he’s told whilst pounding his chest softly less he harm his Rolodex?
“Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code allows the government to refer a labour dispute to the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to find a solution.”
So when does the Union apply to court to have that section struck down as unconstitutional? I fully expect the clowns at the SCCoC to do that.
When Jugmeet says that, you know the Bloc has his not yet pension vested ass.
Jughead will just make sure Blanchet saves the day. Then pull his support until the arbitration settles the lockout.
Any time the Dippers go against TurdHole the Blocheads always throw in their support. It won’t be any different this time.
Looked him right in the eyes, eh?
Considering your normal positions, that must have put crooks in your necks.
I’m confused as to which one bites the pillow harder: Jughead or Justine.
Everyone knows Dogmeet is full of poo. The next election is schedule a few days after his pension vests and everyone knows it. Trudeau could sell out to the communists for $30 million like Biden and the election day won’t change.
Exactly this. Vested pension and election day.

“Dogmeet is full of poo”
How old are you, and what gender.
That sounds like a 12 year old girl.
Don’t be an asshole..
Do you think anyone will notice or care if Air Canada goes on strike?
Can’t they all lose?
Will this improve or diminish the AB/Sask. chance of a referendum?
The lockdown money printing reverberations will keep coming for a few years yet. Not the least bit surprising.
