What is C-58, the government's new anti-replacement-worker legislation? (www.cbc.ca)

Last week the federal government introduced a new piece of legislation, C-58, which is aimed at banning the practice of employers bringing in replacement workers during a contract dispute.

Experts say the legislation is the culmination of decades of work by the labour movement in Canada, while it also represents the fulfilment of a key demand in the Liberal-NDP confidence and supply agreement.

Anyone want to take bets on how quickly this will be reversed once the CPCs have a majority? The conservatives hate unions and love replacing Canadians with foreign workers while virtue signaling to "old stock" folks.

Thanks for the electoral reform Trudeau, I'm glad that it will serve you well in the coming election.

One thing I try to remind myself is a lot of Gen Z don't remember how shit having the Cons in charge is. This will basically ensure a generation of people don't vote Con for at least 20 years. It's not just the anti-union/pro-wealthy stuff directly, it's the fact they voted to not admit climate change even exists. They've taken every single thing that Millenials/Gen Z care about and done the opposite.

So, things are gonna get a lot worse for at least 4 years, and then, well, I have a feeling the NDP/Greens will suddenly leap forward in voting numbers.

It had language built into it that allows them to keep it in place. They can just stock the board that oversees the scabbing with their buddies.

Exactly like how Harper fucked up the oil and gas industry oversight board by firing all of the scientists and replacing them with oil industry lobbyists.
