She [the labour minister] appeared to link her actions to the toll that US tariff increases had taken on the Canadian economy. “In a year in which Canadian families and businesses have already experienced too much disruption and uncertainty, this is not the time to add additional challenges and disruptions to their lives and our economy,” she said in a statement.

Oh fuck off. When is there ever not "disruption and uncertainty"? Like what, trump does a thing and therefore workers rights shouldn't exist anymore? There's never a good time for job action, that's why it's a tool and why bargaining exists. The return to work order is such clear government overreach, this is an embarrassment.

Righting the ship means different things to different people. I ready to Right the ship, are you?
