Canada adds a surprise 58,200 jobs in April

[CDNBear]

No ... I'm looking at an incomplete sentence - which, in itself makes no sense - followed by a revision of historical fact. FLQ was not a labour union.

I never said the FLQ was a labour union.

I said union leaders. Because of what petros posted below...

Even a partial listing of those arrested—the ones we know for sure are being detained—reads like a Who’s Who of Québec’s political and trade union leaders, writers, and artists of the left and nationalist movements. They include two candidates for Montreal city council; at least five officials of the Confederation of National Trade Unions, including the president of the CNTU’s Montreal central council, Michel Chartrand; some 30 members of the Parti Québécois, the mass independentist party; and prominent political activists like Pierre Vallières, Charles Gagnon and Stan Gray.

Bingo...

Some as far away as Naniamo BC.

Oh, I'm aware of all that. Bear's post (the part with the complete sentence) reads like WMA was called against union leaders.

No, that's why I used the word used.

You should probably stick to reading just the black parts of my posts.

They ARE a think tank. One that is utilized by the IPCC as a source of "scientific fact".

Greenpeace is not a think tank and does not pretend to be one.

The IPCC does not use it as a source of "science fact." The IPCC uses only peer reviewed scientific papers. Only those.

Really? So you say IPCC has NEVER cited Greenpeace or WWF in their official reports as factual contributors?

 

[CDNBear]

Really? So you say IPCC has NEVER cited Greenpeace or WWF (23 times) in their official reports as factual contributors?

No, never!

AR4 WGIII Chapter 4: Energy Supply - 4.3.3.5 Solar thermal electric

That's probably just because 30% of the IPCC staff are Greanpeace/WWF activists.

 

[petros]

No, never!

AR4 WGIII Chapter 4: Energy Supply - 4.3.3.5 Solar thermal electric

I have a bigger list....

I never said the FLQ.

I said union leaders. Because of what petros posted below...

And you predicted what Petros was going to say. Gotcha

Bingo...

...a game where your attention skills probably conquer you....

Some as far away as Naniamo BC.

So now you accuse BC of complicity with Quebec separatistes?

No, that's why I used the word used.

How did they know until arrested FLQ suspects sang? Cart before the horse theory?

You should probably stick to reading just the black parts of my posts.

You should make them complete sentences so I don't have to guess

 

[Walter]

There has been anti Union sentiment in Canada and throughout the Western world for more han thirty years now - strongest in the Ablo-Saxon part, It has been a deliberate and well funded campaign by the Right and fuelled by a number of wealthy corporations and individuals.

In the 1970s, six wealthy American families set up "Think Tanks" for the sole purpose of developing strategies and propaganda for the Right Wing counter attack on society. Those are the same six who have been behind the tobacco industries defensive denials and who now are the source of almost all anti climate research material.

In Canada, the Fraser Institute and the C.D. Howe Institute came about for the same purpose.

And they succeeded wildly. They gave us Reagan and Mulroney and a shift of public conscience to the Right.

As Orwell said, Fascism is the counter attack of Capitalism on the Unions.

To read the ill informed Right Wing epistles of some here is to understand just how well they have succeeded. As these individuals sink further and further down in their relative economic standing, they applaud those who seek their subservience.

And we wonder how Nazism and Fascism could have deceived whole nations!

Actually you do not. You do, however, need to consider the reality that Unionism is too weak in Canada for there to be any possibility of applying the Swedish model.

It is quite irrelevant to the societies of, particularly, the English speaking countries.

You don't just drink the Kool-Aid, you bathe in it. What a load of hogwash.

Actually, I'd concede to the fact that I give certain members to much credit.

Have any of you ever looked into the history of Unionism. Have any of you considered how many brave souls died in Union activities to bring you the social, economic and political freedom to take the anti Union stance that you do?

Without your grandparents fierce Unionism, you would still be using outside toilets - those of you who would have had any toilets. There is not a single one of you non-Unionists who would have what you have without Unions. And the loss of them now is why your relative economic position id declining now. But, as I said, you are gullible idiots who have fallen hook, line and sinker for the propaganda of the Right.

And, btw, I have never belonged to a Union. I have always been management or professional. I just know something of history. I see and understand what is happening in the world around me. I am not so self absorbed that I can only look to the little world of my personal situation.

When I was in meadowbank we shi* in a pail,clac was the union and when it came time after 3 years they claimed they didnt have a collective agreement with us,no problem taking our dues though and i never did get 3 years worth back from those thieves in CLAC.

I wonder if revenue Canada would be interested in the 3 years of dues they took off of 30 guys.They acknowledged years ago that they screwed up and it would be tough to deal with because of the taxes,now they dont answer any calls.

Claim the dues, if CRA has issues, point them to CLAC. You still have your pay stubs with the deduction?

Don't mix up "the history" with the present day. The advent was honourable enough, kids were working 14 hours a day in mines 7 days a week for 50 cents a week. I can only speak for myself as far as Unions go, the only ones during my tenure who benefitted were the fat cats, drones, parasites and sh*t disturbers. Before the Union horned their way in I was making a satisfactory wage based on my ability and performance...........the Union only made things worse because they changed things so competents and incompetents go paid equal wages, and the only recognition was seniority.

 

[Kakato]

Claim the dues, if CRA has issues, point them to CLAC. You still have your pay stubs with the deduction?

I will do that,still got all my stubs.

 

[petros]

Either you'll get the credit or you won't but if you don't then CRA will initiate a look see into CLAC. It's well worth taking a crack at.

Damn near the same price as 2 packs of cigarettes up there. I had a guy pay me $20 for one stinking cig. It's a completly different world up there. Too bad el puerco will never see it. It would do him good.

Yep. I was in firefighters union. It was good for decades, but now even it is becoming lazy, gaining weight, and top heavy.

Without your grandparents fierce Unionism, you would still be using outside toilets - those of you who would have had any toilets. There is not a single one of you non-Unionists who would have what you have without Unions.

Uhuh. The oldest company in North America (its roots go back to the 17th century) has never been union.

And the loss of them now

Unions are gone? Since when?

is why your relative economic position id declining now.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with housing bubbles, crony capitalism, etc.

But, as I said, you are gullible idiots who have fallen hook, line and sinker for the propaganda of the Right.

And we all know there's no propaganda used by the lefties. uhuh

And, btw, I have never belonged to a Union. I have always been management or professional. I just know something of history. I see and understand what is happening in the world around me. I am not so self absorbed that I can only look to the little world of my personal situation.
