    1. He sent a memo to the RCMP telling them to sharpen their horses hooves.

      There’s a tramplin’ comin’ down!

  1. Meanwhile they just gave themselves a massive pay raise, while average Canadians have to fight tooth and nail.

    1. @HeWhoDies why the hell qould we want our homes to be owned by the government? Who the hell wants to have to move of they switch jobs. That’s just a dumb idea.

    2. Spam post, spam up votes. Cost of living government wage and salary increases were not ‘massive’ to any one individual.

  2. Another situation by were they are asking for more than we can give, of course just after we gave ourselves another huge pay raise that we didn’t ask the population if we could.

  3. Meanwhile the Canadian judiciary are failing to uphold international human rights above domestic law through jurisdictional ignorance thus running every day human beings that have done their do diligence by bringing these constitutionally protected human rights forward under proper jurisdiction into poverty.

  4. I could care less about government workers getting more money while we the public are struggling more than ever

    1. The public needs to embrace and consider unions, or take what the Millionaires and billionaires give ya..

    2. The government is an “anchor business” in that sets the precedent for the private sector — that’s why the business associations (comprised of the very corporations who have caused inflation) have been lobbying against government employee raises & work-from-home rights: those private businesses don’t want their own employees to “get any big ideas” & start asking for what government workers have gotten. This strike, if successful, would *help* public workers too.

  5. “sorry we don’t have it in the budget to give public workers raises. We used the raise budget on ourselves”

    1. @Ray Dimmock we should say the same to politicians when they go on their like 30th break of the year

  6. Trudeau said, ‘I don’t care about inflation’. Maybe he will learn that once cost of living goes up, everyone is unhappy.

  7. *** there are 250 working days. If they go on a strike for 8 workings days, that’s 3.2% of annual pay that the union has to pay out of their pocket. And the government will cover the 3% raise with the money they save *** it’s a meaningless gesture
