    Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Americanisation of our society, where people know more about the Constitution of the United States than they do about the Canadian Constitution.

      The funny thing is that this wouldn’t be a free speech issue in the US either. The WestJet union isn’t the government.

        That doesn’t seem to matter to the right wing snowflakes.

        Any time someone tells then to STFU, they always try to claim their freedom of speech is being violated.

        They either don’t know or don’t care what that term actually means.

        In America they say the other side should apologize

        In Canada they say they are the ones to apologize

        Most people are some combination of Ignorant and apathetic, so a politician (of any stripe) usually has more luck saying something snappy and quotable rather than making some long thoughtful nuanced remark.

      Unfortunately he’s not wrong, I’m a union construction worker and my coworkers love him. But really they’d love anyone flying the Conservative banner.

        That’s disappointing to hear. Anyone in a union should be aware that Conservatives are the enemy of the working class and will do anything to keep workers wages/rights suppressed.

            You’re not entirely wrong. They will fight for workers as long as they work for the companies run by their friends, like SNC Lavalin.

            Don’t forget NDP exists as an option.

          Anyone in a union should be aware that Conservatives are the enemy of the working class

          What are some detrimental-to-labour actions the CPC has carried out in the past that anyone in a union should be aware of?

          Labour is mostly a provincial concern, so the average person isn’t apt to see them as being impactful to labour. Your list will serve as a good, concrete reminder.

      He’s flying high … high on freedom

      None of what these right wing tools have to say needs to make any sense. Ever. They run on faith, belief and fantasies, and they can change anytime, anyhow, anywhere.

      It’s the same as Christian religion … it’s an evolving idea where you cherry pick the good parts, mash it together, create a catch phrase and talk with authority … and the people will follow you long enough for them not to realize before it’s all too late.
