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.
…and even if it were the USA government, they don’t need to provide you with the PA for you to have your rights.
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.
Yup.
A battle over who should apologize to who doesn’t sound American at all.
In America they say the other side should apologize
In Canada they say they are the ones to apologize
Your free speech rights don’t apply to making political speeches on WestJet airplains you tool.
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.
Cafeteria Christians?
Cotton-Polyester Christians
“And I think it’s because people who work on airplanes, people who work in restaurants, people who work building things love my message.”
What a load of shit. He’s even starting to sound like Trump.
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.

Your average blue collar worker is the high school jock/bully that never amounted to anything else in life. They just want to be told it’s ok to call people gay slurs, hate anything to do with trans people, and look funny at anyone whose skin color is different than their own even if they deny that in public.
Oh and any conflict should be resolved with violence of course
all it takes to get somebody to vote against their self-interests is to rile them up and tell them what they want to hear.
Thats populism in a nutshell.
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.

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.
Not like the liberals are any different.
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.
“Man who has never worked a real job in his life and who will retire with a fat pension and full benefits thinks he’s the leader for the working man.”
I’m pretty sure he knows the difference. It’s hard to score political points with the truth
So he’s appealing to ignorant people for votes?
Polling 41% would suggest it’s been working so I’m not sure why he would stop
There are lots of ignorant one issue voters.
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.
Doesn’t understand or doesn’t care???
Both are concerning in a potential leader of the country.
He’s selling lies to influence the ignorant to vote against their own self-interest. He’s a conservative.

I think that the reality is that each chicken came from an egg that came from a bird that was less chicken then the new chicken.
He believes in power.
