All the usual suspects clamouring for unions to be required by law to publicly reveal their financial accounts ought to be careful what they wish for. They may someday get their wish!

After all, the same logic being applied to unions by this alliance of far-right "think tanks," online and journalistic bloviators, neo-Con Members of Parliament, anti-union private corporations and business combines, and AstroTurf "taxpayer" and "small business" federations applies to most of their activities as well.

Why does the so-called Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses push a far-right agenda that benefits the country's richest corporations and individuals at the expense of independent businesses?

Scott Hennig, Alberta director of the so-called Canadian Taxpayers Federation, says Alberta's public employees should have their wages slashed by 5 per cent.

But Hennig, the ubiquitous free-market fundamentalist, also thinks it was just fine for Edmonton's City Council to vote themselves a pay increase of close to 5 per cent.

What’s with this?
