Last year there was an Opinion article in the Globe and Mail titled:
Yet another summer of strikes? All political parties are now backing unions
Then a few weeks later:
WestJet strike averted after federal labour minister imposes binding arbitration

The common conservative mantra in Canada to this day is that there's nothing wrong with Trump besides baring his fangs at us.
It's along the lines of racism is okay until it's against you type of logic. So it is to say that Conservatives like to play the victim but rarely prepare to be the actual victims.
As someone who's probably going to vote NDP.
Media as a whole has incredibility large biases to the right. Almost every Social media platform is okay with people making things up but a person that tags and calls them out on it is considered the "harrasser".
I wonder if it will "break" outside of the outrage in places like this because that thing is for more than 2 weeks ago and was entirely public. I can understand why I wouldn't listen to that crap but you'd think a number of people in the news world saw it and just went meh.
Pierre puts Pierre over anything else.
Completely insane and as usual what Conservatives have to say about Conservatives is more damning than anything.
The limits of U.S. President Donald Trump's brand of extremely personalized, belligerent diplomacy have never been more apparent than with the negligible outcomes this week involving two of the world's deadliest ongoing conflicts.
In Gaza, Israel's military shattered the tenuous ceasefire on Tuesday by inflicting the largest number of deaths in a single day on Palestinians since the war started in October 2023.
Ah actions so negligible that people a being killed in record numbers.
CBC almost called Trump a bad guy but contorted themselves into saying he just erratic and bad at diplomacy.
I really wonder the reason why Conservatives are reported to such a different standard than anyone else.
The thing is as Carney brought up with Pierre's security clearance CBC has pretty much just reported it in passing like he doesn't have it, he doesn't want it and that means he can't access certain information, that's that.
They've never gotten into this back and forth of what's Pierre must be hiding. Like who in the major networks is grinding a axe with any of the Conservatives.
For anyone out of the loop certain people have latched onto this thing about Carney's possible PAST assets that isn't a standard for anyone else. What I'd like to bring up one of the people pushing this stuff out is CBC.
This is the same thing we've seen Americans news outlets do where as Trump style politics has completely overtaken the right wing politics and the Traditional Media has been trying make things look fair and balanced by artificially making the insane look sane while the anyone else is held to a increasingly high standard.
Current day mainstream media is already heavily right wing dominated.
Going back to CBC I don't understand what they're doing because the right wing thinks they're propaganda while the left has to watch them put out straight up hit pieces while begging to be saved.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/carney-assets-questions-1.7486242
Carney announced last week that he has put his financial assets into a blind trust to shield himself from any conflicts of interest.
.....
A blind trust means Carney's financial assets are handled by a trustee who has the legal authority to manage them but who is barred from seeking his input. Carney wouldn't know what is in his blind trust portfolio, but would know what those assets were before they were divested.
Under the current government ethics rules meant to guard against conflicts of interest, Carney had 60 days to disclose his assets to the ethics commissioner upon being sworn in and another 60 days before that information goes public.
Asked Monday if he should disclose what financial holdings he had before they were put into the blind trust, Carney said he has exceeded the expectations of the current rules and is being held to a different standard.
....
"Your line of questioning is trying to invent new rules. I'm complying with the rules that Parliament has laid out and… I will continue to comply with those rules," he said.
Also whatever this is :
Prime Minister Mark Carney pushed back on reporter questions about his financial holdings during a news conference on Monday.
The unnamed reported in question is Rosemary Barton - Chief Political Correspondent for CBC the same news network he works for.
he would harmonize regulations across Canada
Extremely unlikable dude that's has shown almost no ability to draft a bill in 2 decades will get a bunch of people who've never shown that much interest in working together to create a complex frame work of regulations.
On many other parts of the internet you'll see a lot of people saying Carney copied Pierre's policy.
As shown below Carney's exemption is specific to first time home buyers where Pierre's is not. Also doesn't have whatever that rental thing is supposed to be.
Liberals most tangible housing policies in the past 9 years has been providing more purchasing power to "first time home buyers". I think this would be there 4-5th thing to do so, in which case not exactly a significant departure what they've done in this area.
Sept 2023

Remove GST on the building of any new homes with rental prices below market value. This will be funded using dollars from the failed Liberal Housing Accelerator fund. Within a year and a half of this law passing, list 15 percent of the federal government’s 37,000 buildings and all appropriate federal land to be turned into homes people can afford.
Oct 2024
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-gst-new-homes-cut-1.7365339
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is pledging to eliminate the GST on new homes sold for under $1 million if his party wins the next federal election.

I think looking at a chart 5 years from now people will see a near unnoticeable blip in the gas and food prices aside whatever trade war stuff. If people paid those prices yesterday they'll be willing to pay it tomorrow and corporations has been very successful at the deregulation thing.
Btw. Owned by G&M which in turn is owned by the richest person in Canada. Top 25 in the world.
