Poilievre has historically been a very big supporter of rights to work, clearly they don't need to abandon that stance considering how poorly the NDP (the self claimed working class party that has forgotten its roots) has been doing and losing heavy ground, but as you pointed out rights to work is a major sticking point especially for pro-union backers to support the CPC
I don't expect it, but considering several of their moves of late to brand itself as the real Canadian working class party, removing their support for rights to work would practically kill off and marginalize the NDP. It would be a shrewd political move with little backlash in what should frankly be a low priority policy for Conservatives. |
Exactly. With absolutely no negatives politically you can understand why it’d be so frustrating for many to see them continue to support it, it speaks volumes as to who they are really looking out for.
At the end of the day even their support for the anti-scab bill(which they really didn’t have much of choice politically to support given that it would have passed anyways and not voting in favour would have made the CPC look like they were anti-worker) doesn’t provide much if any reassurance because right to work laws by design have the long term goal of making it so strikes won’t be able to happen in the first place.
