Correction. It was based on comments in that CBC news story, Nugg made that clear in his opening sentence. Not sure if you've ever read a comment thread at CBC, but they aren't moderated to stay on topic...
You've lost me on this; buddy provided a 3rd party opinion, backed it up with supporting comment(s) and named the thread "For All Union Slaggers". You do the math on that. (I did read the CBC link btw)
One of the primary comments that prompted me to respond was based on this ridiculous notion of excessively wealthy people/groups are the problem - equality, fairness - all that crap. The irony in this is based on the reality that wealth is relative. Case in point, the 3rd party opinion in the OP that suggests that unions promote "equality/fairness" is all a crock. Those very unions and their membership may very well be considered "excessively wealthy" by anyone living below the poverty-line or someone that is homeless, yet I have never - ever - heard of any union actively seeking to provide support or promote "equality" to these groups... They just piss and moan about those that have more than them.
Regardless, at the risk of straying off topic, I was thinking of kicking-off our AGW debate in the next couple of days... That work for you?
