Well there you have it, an actual (in my opinion very strong pro-union) statement and position from Poilievre on binding arbitration at least in this case. Though at this time it remains to be seen if the Liberals are planning to use binding arbitration again, especially considering they did with Westjet and the rail workers.

It appears they are taking advantage of the break up and promote itself as not just the working class party but supportive of workers and union rights to take away from traditional NDP supporters. Could that be a sign of a shift of stance on their future platform? I don't quite see it and see it more as opportunistic, but he smells blood in the water right now due to the atrocious NDP leadership.
Well at least you see it for what it is.. it is really easy to be pro-union from the opposition side of the house. Of course the last time the CPC were running things they were very different, like in 2011 with Air Canada (twice), or 2011 with Canada Post or in 2012 with Air Canada, or 2012 with CP... wow Lisa Raitt really loved her back to work legislation.
