Hey, NDP.
I'm not sure how you're doing, hope all is well with you. I heard you were working on pharmacare or somesuch. That's cool, that's cool
You know, I was thinking, we need a bit more than that, you know? We have healthcare issues, environment issues, housing issues, cost-of-living issues. And it sounds like we would really benefit from some bold transformational political vision, here, you know? Someone to say we are going to do A,B,C,D to fix these things, you know, like in the old days, when Tommy Douglas was putting up concrete visions for government creating crown corporations to tackle specific problems?
And I think you might be the right party to bring stuff up? Maybe get the provincial NDPs to all to talk to each other, and coordinate with the national party a coherent strategy or something?
Something to inspire us?
I dunno, you're the pro, maybe I'm overstepping. Maybe pharmacare is as much as we can really do at this point.
Anyway, just checking in.
All the best,
Some guy.
After all, political parties are labour unions. Like all labour unions, they exist to serve the workers, not the employers (you and I).
If the best potential hire in the talent pool belongs to a union, so be it. That's the cost of doing business.
But to those who choose the employee to hire based on their union membership, why?
Absolutely. Hence the election process, literally allowing the employer to elect which employee they wish to hire.
The question wasn't about refusal to join a union, the question was directed to those who hire based on union membership. e.g. the people who always vote for the candidate who belongs to the Liberal union, or the Conservative union, no matter who the actual person trying to get the job is β as opposed to evaluating the potential hires based on their merits as a potential employee.
If you are building a deck, and one guy belongs to the United Steelworkers, and the other belongs to OSPE (engineering union), do you automatically believe that one union always produces better employees every single time? Or do you look at the actual people and try and evaluate which one will do a better job? Now, the question was directed at the first group. Is there something about one of those unions that means it will always present the best employees for deck building?
It is atrocious that the federal liberals are not addressing these issues. We will continue to review our support for them on a recurring basis. Enough is enough. Canadians need help. We will continue to review our support for the federal liberals on a recurring basis.
How can the federal liberals allow this to happen to Canadians??? We will continue to review our support with the liberal government on a recurring basis.
All best the best Canadians,
Singh
Ps Get fucked Canadians.
