That's great. Watching CUPE make Ford blink at that time was incredible.

The post title seems editorialized... I can't access the tweet as I don't have Twitter, OP is that what the tweet says? Do you have any news sources by chance?

The tweet is from Larry Savage, a labour studies professor. Media hasn't reported about it as of the time I posted. But I chose the title - it is what Laura Walton is known for, defying the back to work legislation passed recently by Doug Ford and successfully getting it repealed. A gutsy move!

The only other thing I can link to is a press release from Laura's slate. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/team-ignite-announces-candidacy-ontario-204300505.html
