I’m critical of the NDP because I support them and want them to succeed. I don’t love this messaging - I think it could be more effective. Trudeau caving to corporate greed seems to me a less important point to emphasize than we the NDP are the party that most emphatically works for working-class families

This! Shitting on Trudeau does nothing but give fuel to the cons. The NDP should be out with positive messaging and not participating in the trashy “Fuck Trudeau” rhetoric.

‘Fuck Trudeau’ is the low hanging fruit, and the line has to go up.

I wish there was more focus on the reasons why arbitration had to be forced. Our rail and its workers, and therefore our entire economy, is held hostage by two (two!!) companies. I think it’s high time they were split up.

Break them up to encourage competition and electrification.

It could be public but then that’s one company holding it up

We don’t allow freight and logistics companies to own highways, so we do we still let them own track?

The public should own the tracks. Rail companies should be freed to focus on competing for cargo and passengers.

Yes but that’s a separate issue and exists to keep truckers employed

There, you have proof that collective actions works. Problem is that this time the two Class 1s are using that power and not workers at large.
