That’s one of the many reasons why Nanos has the NDP leading by 4 percentage points nationally. Harper is through in 2015. Who knows, maybe earlier if the RCMP start finding robocall bombshells.

Yep, and so many people are too ignorant to see they are voting against their best-interests in supporting these people. The rich want everything, and they won’t be happy till they have it all.

Walker is nothing but a tool for the Koch’s and their ilk. If he survives this recall this will further embolden the GOP/Tea-Party attacks on the poor and middle class.

“Back to work” legislation only works for Crown (i.e. government-owned) corporations like Air Canada, Canada Post, and such. Since when has any Crown corporation ever made money?

You know, there was another time when conservatives tried telling us how bad the unions were.

It was called the Gilded Age and a lot of workers died, including kids!

Oddly, in a society that truly works together you don’t need unions. Unfortunately you don’t get to that state by merely getting rid of the unions (that would be akin to a Cargo Cult). You have to find people willing to work together and then put them in power. It seems we need a whole lot of fail before there is an atmosphere where such people will be motivated, found, and elected. Whether that “whole lot of fail” takes so long it irreparably destroys the fabric of our society remains to be seen.

Good. The only good communist is a dead communist.

Especially if (as in many cases) your corporation has taken in record profits, and/or is giving their executives unprecedented bonuses.

Canadian federal legislators are trying to bust unions too. There is a coordinated assault on collective bargaining, which leaves us all worse off. Won’t take a 40% pay cut? Too bad, “Back to Work Legislation”.
