The government caused this mess by granting the extension to the contract negotiations to CN in 2022 which caused both railways to be at the negotiation period simultaneously. This Liberal blunder (incompetence) elevated the adverse affects this lockout/strike will have on the Canadian economy, it also affect the bargaining power of these workers because they are being forced to accept arbitration, where they would probably be able to strike if the other railway was operation. Once again, the Trudeau Liberals have failed to provide competent leadership.

Hey Singh said he'd quit the coalition if a "back to work" order was invoked. Come on Jughead, keep your promise.

[Juefee]

If the government is going to mandate them back to work they need to give them the safer working
Conditions they ask for.

"We're gonna strike"
"Nuh uh"

[healthepain]

Demand an OH&S audit if the rail strike is really about that use that power to force the feds to put legislation together not allowing a company to cut corners making safety a NON Negotiable item for the company. Unions should not be negotiating safety.

Aww, they did not get to starve Canadians during this time of turmoil instead of caring about the public that pays the bills they care about their raises it just not them hurting!

[robertfournier]

This discussion on the rail strike won't end the dispute. It's not over. They will need to meet these demands.

Singh, it's time for the election. Stop holding the country hostage for pension. Let's go.

[carolyndorazio]

End this ridiculous rail strike. Our country and our economy are falling apart day by day. Trudeau has to DO something, not just pay lip service to what is going on right now. Immigration is a huge issue and needs to be totally revamped. Too much to mention here. Don't talk. Do.

[jacquelinelink]

Jegmeet needs to call no confidence and election soon😊

[CannonFodder]

The labour board changes the rules, allowing BOTH unions to strike in the SAME

Has Canada ever considered testing potential "public servant" employees for cognitive impairment ?🤣

[enoch]

Under consumption equals Buddhism. Am I wrong?

[cuteangelsongs.wzuch]

😂 12:21 - ну ты себе зверушек наприлетал 🤭 а чо ты с ними собрался делать? 😂

[elenivargis]

Overconsumption, Commercialization, Necro-Capitalism were never cool.

[cuteangelsongs.wzuch]

😂 а чо я та сэйв? вы ш вроде москву брать пошли 😂

[rexxmundi]

I feel so bad for these workers they can't hold our country hostage they should be able to hold this country hostage.

Keep smiling, you'll be out of a job soon.
