Yeah, I wonder if they considered at all the consequence of potentially having BOTH CN and CPKS in the position to strike. Or, if they did, and this is what they came up with… Wow. What a fuckup.

Hard to make a comment when your mouth is full with the dicks from the C-suite at CN and CPKS.

And less than 48 hours later… The union serves strike notice. These greedy fucks are going to get what’s coming to them.

In the old days, greedy fucks who tried to break the union ended up getting dragged from their homes in the middle of the night and beaten to death on their front lawns, often in front of their families. So, like… That’s your history lesson for the day.

In case you were wondering why CN and CPKC are fighting so hard against this… It amounts to a rounding error on their balance sheet at the end of the year. They’ve spent nearly $10 BILLION on stock buybacks since the start of the pandemic.

They could double the number of unionized workers, and it would make practically no difference to their bottom line. They could triple the union’s demands, and again, the real-world cost in dollars in negligible, but the real-world improvement in safety and standard of living for the workers would be incredible.

But they won’t do it without being forced, because… greed.

If the government gets involved, it should mandate that the union gets 2x or 3x their demands. 7% raise? Now it’s 14%. 14 days vacation? Now it’s 28. Unions are asking to reduce shifts from 16 hours to 12? Congratulations. Now it’s 8.

If companies force the government to get involved, it’s the companies that should get fucked in the ass with a stick for dicking around.

You think the people that commissioned this train wreck were careless, lacked attention to detail, and has so little over that it produced in a terminally putrid result?

Just take a moment to imagine how much they’re going to fuck up if they get elected into positions of power.

Yup, CN could double or triple what workers are asking for, and it would barely make a blip in their income.

Income of 5.3 Billion in 2023.

I think they can afford several times what the union is asking for.

Man, I can’t wait until government schmuck decides that the stock I bought that dropped 80% over the course of the pandemic is ‘unfair’ and I should be compensated. Absolutely utter bullshit.

If their gamble on real estate didn’t work out, take the hit, sell at a loss, and learn your lesson.

No fucking wonder people can’t buy a starter home anymore.

Because they’re ignorant and entitled.

A wise man once told me: One crime at a time.

Uh, who says he’s going to inherit anything? Election hasn’t happened yet, and there’s still lots of opportunities for him to expose himself as a fascist.

I’m sure our opponents on the global stage will patiently wait for 2033, and won’t take advantage of the fact that we’re underprepared. I mean, it’s not like they’re monsters that bomb children’s hospitals or anything.

Now that Trudeau has run through his idea list

… and ignored the one most important to Canadians that got him elected (electoral reform)… … Canadians are unhappy with the economy

Why am I not surprised that these terrible people could only obtain counsel from an equally terrible attorney?

Same as the USA, it’s just been hijacked by racists, homophobes, and christo-fascists (dare I repeat myself).

Oh, and the overwhelming majority of weapons systems we do produce go to genocidal dictators and human rights violators.

So, like double-what-the-fuck?

And when making hundreds of billions of dollars off of the ‘woke’ crowd that subscribes to the ‘building a better tomorrow’ ideal, turning into an ignorant and unrepentant fascist piece of shit is a good way to erode market share for free, if you exclude the $46 Billion USD social media site purchase, which is now worth essentially nothing.

It wouldn’t. This prick will promise anything to anyone who will listen to him.

Yup, getting reported for saying anything remotely left-leaning or calling out far-right hate speech pretty much results in a permanent ban.
