Unifor is spreading like a virus across Canada including oil and gas.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And UNIFOR head Jerry DIAZ has all the charm and persuasive style of a Soviet Commissar............................
looking for peasants to send to the GULAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is an article illustrating the LIE-beral concept of free speech- its just too bad that ONLY LIE-berals feel they should be allowed to speak freely!! Lie-berals think the rest of us ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO LISTEN - POLITELY!!!!
With some comments of my own in brackets):
Scheer should know shrinking media hurts democracy
By Jerry Dias.
(OH yes- the UNIFOR goof who thinks democracy means having govt supplied jobs - FOR LIFE - is great one to lecture about democracy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

JERRY DIAS. I read the tweet, and did a double take.
Here was Conservative leader Andrew Scheer, Canada’s anti-progressive, media-bashing “Trump in the North,” railing against Unifor — Canada’s largest media union — for being invited to identify an expert to sit on a technical panel to define what constitutes quality journalism.
(I offer congratulations to Dias for spouting propaganda so foul it RIVALS that of ADOLF Hitler telling the world that Nazis had to invade Poland to protect Germany!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The contempt in his tweet would have you think that Unifor, itself, was somehow responsible for administering a program that is a lifeline to struggling news organizations, many of which can barely keep the newsroom lights on.
(Oh yes- but IT IS Unifor that is BENEFITTING MOST from this shameless LIE-beral vote buying CRAP!! Firstly- Unifor joined with LIE-berals back in 2008 to openly HARASS the Harper govt for not throwing WAY MORE CASH at Cdn auto makers- who happen to EMPLOY ONLY Unifor HOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Secondly it is Unifor that is screaming FOR EVEN MORE TAX DOLLARS to be dropped into the black hole that is General Motors- even as the company leaves Canada!! Yet Unifor is SILENT about the NEARLY THREE BILLION DOLLARS in CANCELLED DEBT to Gm and Chrysler that Our idiot Boy Justin WROTE OFF in early 2019!!!!!!!)
(Worst of all - now that LIE-beral efforts to RIG OUR ELECTIONS with electoral reform SCAMS have failed and now that LIE-beral efforts to SILENCE critics by using FASCIST limits on free speech by threatening to ARREST critics of ANY LIE-beral policy under ILL-DEFINED and open ended Islamophobia Hate Crime legislation- with LIE-berals NOT EVEN ABLE TO DEFINE Islamophobia as being anything other than statements they do not like- now LIE-berals are launching a new anti free speech offensive with the help of GROSSLY SELFISH HYPOCRITES LIKE DIAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(It is true that much of Cdn news media is struggling financially! But that struggle is LARGELY OF THEIR OWN MAKING!! A big chunk of Cdn news media sees its primary job as PROMOTING LIE-beral party values!! And many Cdns simply REFUSE to PAY for propaganda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(And How ODD that for SEVERAL DECADES NOW - Conservative fund raising efforts have consistently OUT PERFORMED the LIE-beral version by a WIDE MARGIN!! And is it not odd that it was LIE-beral Jean Chretien who altered the political funding rules FOR HIS PARTIES BENEFIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Chretien knew that as his third term was ending and Cdns were wildly OUTRAGED by the LIE-beral Adscam Theft of Three Billion Dollars of tax money- and that LIE-beral ability to fund raise and pay for the next election WOULD TAKE A HUGE HIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(So in order to “balance” the playing field- meaning RIG the next election in favour of LIE-berals - Chretien arranged for TAX PAYERS to fund the parties in accordance with how many votes they got in the last election!! By this means Chretien POISONED the democratic process by artificially supplying cash to LIE-beral party in defiance of the mood of most Cdns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Part of me understands Scheer is simply playing the new game of politics. I get it.
But I get angry at what this blatant, intentional mischaracterization means for October’s federal election campaign. I’m always up for a fair fight. Go ahead and criticize the government’s plan to protect Canada’s independent press. Let’s weigh the merits of this plan against another and have a healthy debate.
(Diaz says he wants a “fair fight”!! What arrant NONSENSE from a man who is caught up in a GROSS CONFLICT of interest!! Diaz is supporting Our idiot Boy merely in hope of getting MORE GRAVY -BY SELLING HOG VOTES!!!!!!!!!)
(If the owner of a private company offered raises in pay to his employees in exchange for Conservative support - LIE-berals like Diaz would SCREAM DOWN THE POLLING BOOTH!! Diaz hypocrisy is staggering in its crude deceit and insulting deceptions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
But trashing a plan with misstatements and half-truths, and no plan of your own, is a different kind of fight — one Canadians must not be willing to play.
(And WHY must Cdn tax payers be impoverished by LIE-berals who will use Carbon crap and trade tax scam cash to BUY JOBS FOR HOGS?? Why should Cdns BE FORCED to pay for news media they neither want nor BELIEVE!!!!!)
Scheer’s tweet circulated a satirical photo of elected Unifor officials taken in 2018, spoofing a controversial Maclean’s cover featuring Scheer, Doug Ford and a gaggle of Conservative Party cousins, billing them as “The Resistance.”
Scheer incorrectly stated Unifor officials have been “appointed to help decide” how new federal funds to support struggling news organizations will be distributed.
False.
(Diaz is right in a bass-ackwards way- HE IS FALSE in his statements about Scheer!! Such is the LIE-beral value system they think it is best to accuse the other guy first - and hope to muddy the waters with Fake News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The truth is this is an independent panel of technical experts, including journalists, to define the terms of quality and professional journalism — a task best left to professionals, not politicians. Figuring out what constitutes proper journalism is a necessary precondition to any financial support — lest we cut cheques to every basement-dwelling news blogger.
(How INSULTING Diaz is!! The blue ribbon panel that Diaz is talking about has quietly polled UNIFOR leaders and other HOGS to see how much GRAVY they WANT in return for their LIE-beral votes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(If we set up a Commission of Ku Klux Klan members to judge black people -then Diaz would scream FOUL!! Yet Diaz smoothly INSULTS OUR in intelligence by claiming a pack of LIE-berals can be trusted to tell us about Conservatives!!!!!!!!)
Unifor, with a balance of seven other organizations, including journalist associations, worker organizations and media publishers -yes, the same ones who disproportionately endorse Conservative parties come election time, will recommend who can assist in these preliminary, technical discussions.
(Oh how CRUDE is that propaganda!! Cdn media stands CONVICTED of being biased in favour of LIE-berals!! Major brands such as Metroland media- owners of Toronto (RED) star newspaper simply avoid any view hostile to LIE-berals - UNLESS they can slant and distort and weaken that view!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Global News follows the Star approach- avoid where possible and then “claim” journalistic integrity” by making mention ONCE of LIE-beral scandals and then BURYING THEM in a flood of more positive news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(And DIAZ quietly DECLINES TO MENTION that his blue ribbon panel now speaks for about 15,000 UNIFOR members employed in various LIE-beral friendly news media chains such as The Star and Gobal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(AS for CBC- our Communist Broadcasting Corp- they stand Convicted of using a DELIBERATELY SLANTED VERSION of “fair use policy” that ENSURED that CBC news commentators would never have to say anything in support of Conservatives during the 2015 election!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The panel has until the end of July to offer its directional guidance, and then will disband.
(Uh huh - one group who knows what HOGS WANT - makes the choices and then slides out of sight while a second group with LESS OBVIOUS BIAS - actually hands out the gravy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(In related news - LIE-berals tellk us IT IS A LIE - that Toronto (Red) Star is getting $115 grand PER WEEK from the LIE-beral media slush fund - BUT - LIE-
berals REFUSE TO SAY just how much Toronto Star IS GETTING!! Should we guess IT IS MORE THAN $115 grand per week?????????????????)
A completely separate panel will then be responsible for allocating funds. Unifor will have absolutely no role on that panel, nor should we.
(Oh yes- the panel “WILL DISBAND”!! Right after it makes very clear to LIE-berals -exactly what policies LIE-berals MUST ENACT if they want to retain ANY civil service union HOG support for the election!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
There’s a lot at stake. More than 250 news outlets have either closed or merged in the last decade. Newspaper revenue dropped 64%.
Here’s what Scheer needs to understand: Losing news gathering capacity sucks the oxygen from our democracy and allows fake news to propagate.
(DIAZ LIES!! Many of us get our news online now!! From sources that DO NOT Cater to LIE-beral Fake News purveyors in exchange for gravy!! Fake News is gthe result of desperate LIE-beral efforts to cling to power and NOT from lack of news media!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Does Scheer really believe his own rhetoric? Does he really want to see the demise of our Fourth Estate?
(Diaz offers HIS VERSION of truth and justice - one that will ENSURE HIS UNION PROFITS AT OUR EXPENSE!! Diaz has all the honesty and sincerity of the old Soviet Mouthpiece mockingly called PRAVDA - TRUTH in Russian!!!)
