Ok, children, today we're going to learn the letter "H".
What do you call someone who supports anti-scab legislation federally, but not in Manitoba?
And supports anti-scab legislation in BC but not in Manitoba. I guess us Manitobans aren't good enough for anti-scab
.
I wish there was an ignore feature with this new forum s/w. It would make it so much easier for people like me who realize we're sometimes arguing with people who dont give a damn.
You could always ignore people. That works too.
I can do it to a point except when rabid anti-NDPers post false or misleading information. Then youre cruisin for a bruisin'
"False and misleading" like "there is no anti-scab legislation in Manitoba despite 10 years of NDP governments"?
[sarcasm]Oh, and your bruisin's really hurt. They make me want to go to bed and cry. Why oh why did I not just admit that the Manitoba NDP is perfect[/sarcasm]

I've posted comments by a Canadian union official on background material and no reply from you.
I've posted comments by the Canadian Socialist Project and no comment from you.
I've posted my own comments on the matter of anti-scab, and youve dipsy-doodled around them in order to post ...the exact same rabid anti-NDP rhetoric worded a bit differently.
Youll have to forgive me for wondering who you might be arguing for with your rabid anti-NDP rhetoric.
And likewise, what do you call a person who wants to pit workers and their private sector employers in a tiny provincial economy against the economies of larger surrounding provinces where there are no anti-scab laws? And then says we dont need a federal NDP government, because according to history, the average David in every province must always do battle with corporate Goliaths and their hirelings in Ottawa and Queens Parks, even though Goliath is now supranational in scope and on FTA-NAFTA steroids since 1989-94.
Our word for today, kiddies, begins with the capital letter D, the first letter in the word, Divisionist.

I must have missed those union "official" and Socialist Project comments that said anti-scab legislation in Manitoba was a bad idea. Re-post them when you have a free moment and I'll be sure to reply.
By the way, one of the things that distinguishes human beings in the evolutionary scheme of things is a sense of shame. Anyone who opposes anti-scab legislation is an enemy of the workers. It's not more complicated than that.
Ah yes, shame. So, if you did happen to vote Liberal in '93, did you really expect them to reverse Mulroney's FTA like they swore up and down they would do during the election campaign?
And they never looked back after signing NAFTA. And since 1982, there were 175 repressive pieces of labour legislation enacted across Canada. Unions have never been weaker in this Northern Puerto Rico after too many decades in a row with old line party rule in Ottawa. In most western European countries, lowly paid and lowly skilled jobs make up around 10% of their totals. In old line party Canada, it's 21%. And we boast one of the worst rates of child poverty among richest countries.
Say it again, that we dont need strong federal government to balance power between unions and employers.
Great post, Fidel! Not one word about Manitoba, about anti-scab legislation, or about the NDP!
As the Labour Minister's flunkey said when asked why the Doer government was ignoring the workers' demand:
"The minister is unable to comment on legislation that does not exist."
According to your kiddie school logic, it must be Gary Doer's fault that labour unions have never been weaker across Canada.
It must be Doer's fault that 1.2 million adults in Ontario are not earning $10 bob an hour.
It must be Gary Doer's fault that homelessness is at record levels across major cities in this frozen Puerto Rico.
And I've never heard anything so illogical and so absurd all at once. Are you sure you and genstrike are not one and the same poster?
