      Have to agree with him on this one. I don’t disagree that back to work legislation is something that can sometimes be necessary but it should only come after we give the process a chance. 12 hours is absolutely not enough time.

      Also, in this context the 48h notice for striking is not enough, it should be something like a week or two weeks so that people already on trips have a chance to come back. There are so many stories of people caught in the crossfire that had to extend trips or buy overpriced tickets at their own expense it’s insane.

      Depends where you stand on these things. As a consumer? Not at all. As a ununionized worker… Again no but possibly maybe?

      I don’t fly with air Canada for a reason so the workers were easier to support on this one. If I had been and it was important that would change my views.

      It’s like teachers strikes. They get everyone’s support…. For about two weeks. Then… Not so much.

      Mulcair was really working overtime on that one to make Carney look good.

      >Carney was warning his ministers and in particular his jobs minister, Patty Hajdu, that he expected better of them

      Oh, it was his ministers. Not the PM himself. He had nothing to do with it!

      >Maryse Tremblay. She was appointed within days of Carney’s election victory. She is a highly regarded jurist, but her resumé includes long stints as an attorney for Air Canada.

      So it’s her fault for having a conflict, not the ones who appointed her. Wait, who appoints her?

      >In Canada, the head of the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB), known as the Chairperson, is appointed by the Governor in Council. This essentially means the appointment is made by the Governor General on the advice of the federal Cabinet, which is led by the Prime Minister.

      Oh. Well, anyway, it’s probably Trudeau’s fault right? There’s always a little dab of post-Trudeau bitterness in Mulcair’s pieces.

      >. I remember vividly when, in 2016, shortly after coming to power, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals brought in legislation to let Air Canada off the hook.

      Yep. Trudeau’s fault. But don’t worry, folks.

      >Carney is a quick study and as he and his closest advisors take the full measure of this debacle, there are important lessons to be learned.

      Even IF it was his fault, which it most certainly wasn’t, he’s a quick study. Now he’s learned that wrecking labour and collective bargaining rights is a no-no. If the blowback is too strong.

      I find it seriously concerning that Carney’s first instinct is to blow up the collective bargaining process before even a single day of work is missed in a non-critical industry.

      Thank goodness he’s a quick study.

      Complete unforced error.

      Had they waited a few days and done the exact same thing, it might have been an understandable option of last resort.

      Yeah not a great look for the Liberals or Carney, what if he admitted he made a mistake and withdrew the back to work order? I think that would be great first step.

      So the fact that he didn’t put his elbows up was not a blunder.

      Let’s all acknowledge this. Because it was the #1 reason a lot of people voted for him.
