Maybe we should open up the books of say The Ranchmen's Club. They collect forced dues as well. If you want to join the union, you pay dues same as a private club or any professional organization. This is just harassment that the Conservatives hope will lead to a way to stop unions from being politically involved.

Conservative Parliamentary Secretary Pierre Poilievre used more combative language in defending the bill in response to questions from the NDP.
“Now they realize that transparency is upon them and that we are going to find out how all of this money that these unions forcefully take from workers is spent,” Mr. Poilievre said.
I'm really getting fed up with Harper. He was much better as a minority leader. Now he's going after native treaty rights as well as unprotecting our waters. I also have no faith in any deal he makes with China.
