  • I’m no fan of the public sector unions (especially PSAC), but bailing corporations out only for them to cost the economy millions of dollars per day due to necessary job action ain’t it, either. A lot of these employers have let their collective agreements expire, sometimes years ago, because they know they can get the government to force their employees back to work.

    If they’re that important to the economy and they’ve proven they can’t handle the intricacies of doing business without a government handout to keep them profitable (check and check), they should be nationalized. Pie in the sky for a second: maybe the revenue from a nationalized Air Canada would mean lower federal taxes or something.

    If we don’t try, this will just happen again.






  • How does that affect what I said? Why does that matter at all? He’s now a member of the federal Conservatives and has been for years since the merger. His fellow Conservatives have told him to tone it down and he’s made a whole song and dance of not listening. When he was a teenager he did the same shit with the Reform party — part of the reason why the merger even happened is due to his lobbying.

    There’s a party leadership review in January that I don’t think he’ll make it through because I like to believe in reasoning and logic. But we’ll see! Dumber shit has happened to the Conservatives than him keeping his leadership position in the face of absolute incompetence; Danielle Smith proves that.







  • During the transition to full resumption of service, the airline expected that some flights would still be cancelled. Rousseau said the airline would offer options to customers in such a scenario, including a full refund, a credit for future travel and, if space allowed, rebooking on other airlines.

    Don’t they legally have to book customers on the next immediately available flight, even with other airlines, even if it costs more? Unless, of course, a customer takes a refund or other remedy… Which is exactly why he said this. They are still scum. But I’m happy the union got them to cave.
