A lot of people on twitter are saying that this was a bad move and that they can't vote for the NDP anymore but I feel like this is probably the best the NDP can do in it's currrent iteration and expecting any different is stupid. The party has probably finally realized it can't win for the next long while and that Quebec is probably never going orange again in our lifetimes. I wonder why they didn't get some junior minister positions though?

if you expect the ndp to make bad moves, there's no contradiction!

I don't think an election now does the ndp any favours, so I understand propping up the government, but extracting future promises of means-tested programming is literally the least one can get from federal liberals. sure would've been nice to hear "the ndp will be happy to support the government. the first bill we support you on is universal dental care"

yeah if there at least was some kind of timetable where in one year the basic details had to be worked out, in two the details of how it would be implemented were to be ready, and in three, before the next election, it would actually be in place and working, with the explicit threat that any missed deadline would have the ndp withdraw support, then i might have a tiny sliver of hope that something might come out of this

I think Jagmeet intends to get out after 2025 at this point. It's gonna be hard to campaign against the government you've been propping up for the last 4 years.

If Pharmacare and the runt-Dental Care programs are successful I can also imagine it might make the Liberal's image problem go away by 2025.

quote:

Typically, wooden grain elevators meet one of two fates: they are either destroyed in a large fire or demolished. But Troy Angus, who bought the dilapidated Elva tower last year in a municipal auction, hopes he�s found a third option.

In a video posted to YouTube, Angus details how his company plans to carefully dismantle the structure, with the hope of reclaiming an estimated 15,000 board-feet of wood beams, old metal scales, door hinges and thousands of pounds of nails. Angus also bought a second elevator nearby, which he plans to also dismantle.

Economy is great why do you ask? Solid 100 year old used nails haul honestly. Want to take a look at their bean stash.

If Singh can, or thinks he can, take credit for dental and or pharmacare I expect he'll have no trouble campaigning against the government he's propped up. Whether or not voters will buy it, or care enough to vote NDP, I've no clue.

In the sound bite I heard on CBC, I think Singh said something along the lines of Dentalcare (for children) will be in this year�s budget and enacted this year. If the LPC doesn�t follow through, the NPD isn�t going to support them. Not totally sure, and it�s all just words so we will see.

Literally every tweet involving the ndp will have a ton of alleged "life-long supporters" saying this was the final straw. And not just in cases like this where it's kinda understand able if you hate the grits and don't want to work with them, but even when Jagmeet calls out racist politicians or Ashton retweets Jeremy Corbyn and the like!

I'm sure many of them are genuine, at least with news like yesterday, but it doesn't seem to mean that much in terms of actual votes or popularity.

As far as i can see, it hasn't started yet.

Edit:

quote:

TORONTO– The Unifor National Executive Board has determined that former National President Jerry Dias stands charged with breaching Article 4, Code of Ethics and Democratic Practices, of the Unifor Constitution after an independent external investigator determined that on the balance of probabilities Dias breached his obligations in an interaction with a third party supplier. The breach did not involve any Unifor finances.

“Unifor is built on a democratic foundation that holds all members to the highest of standards. Our Constitution has strong checks and balances, a robust code of ethics and comprehensive enforcement procedures to ensure that the conduct of all elected leaders reflects the responsibilities entrusted to them,” said Unifor National Secretary-Treasurer Lana Payne, who commissioned the investigation after receiving a formal complaint against Dias on January 26, 2022.

“Unifor is committed to transparency in this matter. Our Constitution requires that an investigation be conducted in a confidential and fair manner. Now that the investigation has concluded, Unifor wishes to share the results with its members. Every step was taken to investigate and bring this matter to light in a fair and timely manner.”

An investigator determined that Dias engaged in a number of breaches of the Unifor Code of Ethics by accepting money from a supplier of COVID-19 rapid test kits that he had introduced to employers of Unifor members.

None of the employers had knowledge of Dias’ personal interest in the transactions; as such Unifor has not identified them. The supplier was not a participant in the investigation so will not be identified.

Based on the information available to her, the investigator made the following findings, on a balance of probabilities:

In December 2021 and January 2022, Dias promoted a supplier’s rapid test kits to various Unifor employers, either directly or through Unifor staff under his direction. Several employers of Unifor members purchased tests as a result of Dias’ introductions.

At some point prior to January 20, 2022, Dias accepted the sum of $50,000 from the supplier.

On January 20, 2022 Dias gave a Unifor employee what Dias said was half of the funds ($25,000), telling the employee that it had come from the supplier.

The employee subsequently lodged a complaint under the Unifor Code of Ethics and delivered the funds that he received from Dias to the National Secretary-Treasurer.

Dias was asked to participate in the investigation. However, the investigator’s findings were made without the benefit of his evidence. He has provided medical documentation indicating that he suffers from a number of health issues and went on medical leave on February 6, 2022. On March 11, he notified the Unifor National Executive Board of his immediate retirement due to health issues.

The results of the investigation were provided to the National Secretary-Treasurer on March 15, 2022. On March 21 and 22, the investigator’s findings were received and reviewed by the National Executive Board. Based on the findings, Dias now stands charged with violating the Unifor Constitution.

“No one is above our Constitution. Dias’ actions as outlined in the findings are disturbing and if confirmed by the hearing were a clear betrayal of the duties of office, and the trust that each of us as members put into our union,” said Unifor Québec Director Renaud Gagné. “The actions of one individual do not reflect our union.”

The next step, as outlined in the Unifor Constitution, will be a hearing before the National Executive Board. During the hearing, Dias will have an opportunity to fully present information and arguments concerning the charge.

Unifor is currently seeking legal advice regarding any legal obligations arising from these events.

“Our trust in one individual has been broken, but our confidence in the integrity of our union remains strong. I hope that members will recognize the strength of the Constitution that Unifor was built upon. Our union has stood this serious test and the integrity of our process has proven that accountability and transparency to our members is and will always remain our first priority,” said Payne.

Unifor is Canada’s largest union in the private sector, representing 315,000 workers in every major area of the economy. The union advocates for all working people and their rights, fights for equality and social justice in Canada and abroad, and strives to create progressive change for a better future.
