Ontario Federation Labour president backs Putin against Ukrainians



In a jaw-dropping statement, the President of the Ontario Federation Labour, Sid Ryan not only calls Putin’s Crimea referendum democratic, he says the Ukrainians fighting Russia’s takeover are “thugs, fascists and anti Semites”:




I honesty can’t fathom how someone supporting a dictator like Putin can be in charge of a modern Canadian labour union – seriously, are we back in the 1950s?


Please tell me the rank and file membership won’t stand for this.


Also: See earlier post of when Ryan roughly grabbed a female reporter by the arm and called her a “sh!t disturber” on air here

Who? Harper or Putin? I think Darkbeaver was referring to Harper. Or at least that's how I was reading it. :)



But that's a treaty, not the Constitution. Still not excusable,but less likely to get him into a Russian prison.

What exactly are you referring to?

This reply will seem muffled and distorted to protect my identity. He, that one you mentioned, would be a good start. use a mirror and black lighting to decode this communication

I was trying to read your mind. obviously I need to work on that. In my 20/20 hindsight, that does fit in better with yor worldviewas I know it. :)

So the Russian constitution allows it to invade other countries. Is that your point?
