You are literally doing exactly what you’re trying to call out.

You’re comparing apples to oranges bud.
In Singh’s situation the minister made a decision, which we now know wasn’t even what Firebot was claiming it to be but regardless, once the CIRB is given that directive they can’t just reverse it for a number of reasons. In any event even if firebot’s fictitious scenario were occurring, I didn’t say Singh shouldn’t be opposed to it I was pointing out how Firebot was selective in his accountability.
If Singh or Pierre would be for or opposed to the same thing I would hold them equally accountable. Firebot has a long history of not doing that so I think it’s fair game to call it out.
Even before realizing that the return to work order that was being reported didn’t actually happen I never at any time said it was ok for Singh to not be opposing it, I was explaining why he couldn’t simply reverse it and wouldn’t have needed to be consulted on the decision prior to it happening because clearly a lot of people here don’t understand how that ministry works with the CIRB.
Clearly Singh had no reason to be openly supporting/opposing a back to work order that was never issued, nor would Pierre. Yet firebot still went out of his way to use the situation to try and attack parties he doesn’t like even though the party he constantly shakes pompoms for was taking the same stance. That’s the hypocrisy.
Also, I never criticized Pierre for voting in favour of the anti-scab legislation so I don’t know what you’re going on about there, I’m glad he did it. Pointing out that he was put into a situation where politically he had little choice is simply stating a fact. If you want me to start praising Pierre as pro-labour I’m happy to do so, just convince him to put forward a pro-labour bill for the first time in his long political career and I’ll be happy to give him credit for that.
Solid attempted drive-by though Prince. Thanks for coming out and trying to be a hero only to fall flat, perhaps firebot can find you some work.
