Not those unions, it's the CSN and the FTQ.

This came about when Legault excused the high pay of high-ranking bureaucrats (like the president of Loto-Quebec) by saying they needed to pay for the best or some other bullshit. So the Unions took him at his word and are asking for raises they should have gotten decades ago.

I want a party that's socialist like the NDP should have been, but with a low-carbon focus. A Green Democratic Party, if you will. Ideally a collapse leads to a merger which would be great, so bring it on.

I also want a pony. Pony's more likely.

Honestly if you want to deal with the NDP you'd have to do something about the unions. Half the labour movement is content to buy off the Liberals in exchange for narrowly targeted concessions (the CAW) and then the ones that have stuck with the NDP tend to be extremely risk averse, don't otherwise get involved in politics, and tend to encourage the NDP to be cautious and centrist.

The collective financial and organizational power of the 54 or so major unions in Canada, were it to be used in a concerted way, would immediately dwarf the collected resources of all three major parties and every bought and paid for corporate think tank combined.

i'm not suggesting you're wrong, but identifying unions as an impediment to the modern labour movement is c-spam as gently caress

ALLAH! MU'AMMAR! LIBYA WA BAS!
unions got hosed when they made them legal, because as conditions for making it legal they made them toothless, and made them financially solvent at the cost of alienating dumb workers who don't want to join unions by making them pay.
Bring back illegal unions, the only way to negotiate with capitalists is when they fear for their lives.
