Then again have you heard either Mulcair or Trudeau championing organized labour or the various strikers Harper has legislated back to work, again and again, since he came to power? If the NDP won't stand by labour, fearful of being seen as less than mainstream centrist, who will?<br /><br />The NDP has abandoned the Left and, like the Libs and Cons, puts its personal interests ahead of the country and our people. That's the story of neoliberalism.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-27718277596301137362015-02-15T18:24:56.721-08:002015-02-15T18:24:56.721-08:00I agree with Karen.

Even for a day would make the point. Harper & Co. would know it won't be so easy next time around.<br /><br />Anonymous-AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-92070022972535380822015-02-15T16:42:35.616-08:002015-02-15T16:42:35.616-08:00Augh!

Why don't they get on the horn with other unions and SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN for a few days? Invariably the answer is, "it's not the right time." <br />What the hell bunch of milquetoast chickens did all those labour activists die for anyway? Honestly, I'm so ashamed of the world we have let happen.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11131927710530023725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-86615916606156374642015-02-15T16:37:29.120-08:002015-02-15T16:37:29.120-08:00I don't agree with what you are saying.

If workers want to organize unions, guilts, or other forms, so be it. <br /><br />Harper and his ilk propose a form of fascism instead.
