Canada’s workers rise up! w/Emily Leedham

1. Canada….always copying what the US wants them to copy….the US to the North Of the US….Trudeau just follows directions from the DC neocons….the vassal US state to the North…poor Canada…like Mexico….it's far from God…close to yankeestan….

2. In the early 70s, I worked in a gold mine in Yellowknife and was a member of the Teamsters International Union. I was paid an excellent wage with good benefits. I now live stateside and have spent my whole life watching the destruction of the unions and the working man ( woman) slowly being turned into an economic slave with no rights or benefits. With the fascist movements both here and Canada we are at a pivotal point in history and if the working man does not wake up and recognize the culture wars for what they are, a move to divide and conquer the workers, and come together we will end up in a situation where life in the old Soviet Union will look good.

3. Canadians are going to have to be the ones to show us Americans how to do it. The left in America is rooting for you!

4. F**K THE NEW WORLD ORDER,F**K THE WORLD ECONOMIC FURM AND F**K THE BANKERS ENSLAVING US ALL,RISE UP AND FIGHT FOR FREEDOM!

5. Born in Saskatoon, retired in Mexico. Best wishes to all workers, throughout the world.
   Local 250 SEIU forever!

6. Tell Canada to stop smuggling fentanyl into the USA.

7. Canada, USA's 51st state.

8. This girl likely is a clueless NDP supporter, who are just as bad as Turdeau.

9. After 15 years being out of print, the book Confessions of a Union Buster has been re-released. This "New Activist Edition" of the breakthrough book includes a new Foreword by legendary union organizer, Bob Muehlenkamp.
   
   Marty Levitt, the Union Buster the book is about, passed away in 2004, so now NONE of the money from the sale of the book will go to him. Instead, proceeds will go to co-author Terry Conrow Toczynski, the pro-union activist who spent five years writing the book (Levitt didn't actually write it).
   
   This book is a must read for organizers, union activists, supporters, or anyone who wants to learn first hand about the disgusting, immoral, and often illegal methods union busters use to try and stop hard working citizens from forming unions.
   
   Aside from all that, a movie adaptation is also in the works, which 7-time Emmy Award-winning actor Ed Asner, another legend in the labor movement, signed on to Executive Produce months before he passed away. His family is keeping his name attached as the project was particularly important to him.
   
   Please buy the book, and spread the word!

10. As a CUPE education worker, the one day strike was one of the most exciting and inspiring labour actions I had ever taken part of. Then the union settled for a $1/hr raise (which for many of us is about $900/year since we don't get paid in the summer/Christmas/spring break, and only get paid for face-to-face time with students). People keep saying that the union stood up for workers and defied Ford, but IMO we got played like a fiddle and the government won.

11. YOU ARE TALKING IN CIRCLES AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR MESSAGE IS OR EVEN WHO YOU ARE………………..STARBUCKS AS A CAREER CHOICE!!!! Hey I know: Go to school, get some qualifications and move up in the world. STARBUCKS IS NOT A CAREER – NOR IS PUMPING GAS. This is a hobby shop discussion not rooted in reality. Smoke another bowl!

12. Workers need to rise up-BUT, rising up under socialism is a recipe for mass slavery=ask anyone who has lived under it in the old Soviet Union, Cuba, Vietman , etc= it is BAD

13. Somewhat belatedly

14. Just LOOK how far we have fallen.

15. All Commie Teachers, should be Fired!

16. Just raise taxes quietly and give them what they want.

17. why don't we focus on Canadians already living here's rights before we give immigrants any more rights
    they already occupy more jobs than Canadians in certain industries because our gov takes our taxes to subsidize their wages so entry level jobs aren't available to Canadians, check any tim hortons and tell me that is the canadian demographic

18. Government administrators with the lowest client satisfaction ratings on record and wage growth more than double that of the private sector who paid themselves record bonuses and four pay raises while locking the economy down demanded even more money from the bled-dry taxpayers. What a triumph for "labor."

19. A union is a group of a people just like a company. Except, they don't do anything but talk instead of build the products and services. Their solutions are useless and counter productive. Instead of protests and talking, why don't you start a company and hire them and pay them as you demanded employers to do? That would increase the competition and raise wages.

20. We need a National Party to throw out the main stream parties that are puppets of the puppeteers.

21. Working people voting Conservative is as idiotic as chickens voting for the foxes. Over a 100 years of corporate brainwashing of Canada's working people in all sectors have unfortunately worked on approx 25-30 % of working people who continue to defeat themselves at elections times by voting for their abusers, harassers & tormentors in the Conservative parties…

22. I HOPE ALL YOUR PEOPLE HAVE A GENERAL STRIKE TO SHOW THE GOVERNMENT WHO HAS THE POWER ! 👍🏻😎

23. I would not trust anything founded by the Broadbent Institute as socialism including unions have long gone woke mad and abandoned the real labour issues.

24. The government should freeze these strikers bank accounts to break them!

25. Such a great, informative conversation!

26. Should collaberate with Canada's Communist party, on CPAC last mth
