The rail strike was absolutely ridiculous. CP and CN absolutely colluded to create that and the government did absolutely noting to seperate the strikes or hold them accountable.

Also don't forget, CN and CP LOCKED OUT the union. Also they stopped shipping any new dangerous goods weeks before the lockout to make sure that those that relied on DG shipments to power generators in Quebec and clean their municipal water supplies would be loosing their shit on day one of the lockout. They also posted messaging warning people about potential unsafe drinking water if the lockout went on too long.

Not to mention the postal strike and the Air Canada cabin crew strike that were shut down because the companies outlasted the government's patience rather than the unions'. At least the Air Canada union had the balls to say no and got a concession immediately.

Correct, we are absolutely being played like a fiddle by billionaires and corporate oligarchs. It's essentially irrelevant whether Carney himself is doing the playing or being played himself, he's just the elected messenger for the billionaire capitalist class.
