You are acting as if things are rosy for workers right now. Are they?
Now that the Canada Post strike is official, what's your over under on the Liberal - NDP
coalition announcing another quick binding arbitration and another Singh Tweet about Trudeau and Poilievre being
beholden to corporate greed, his current grandstanding catch phrase? I give the weekend + 1 before both happens.
So far, even though they claim to have ripped up the supply and confidence agreement, the NDP have done absolutely zero different then they have under the agreement and continue propping up the government. There's a reason why the working class including union workers have largely shifted away from the NDP to the CPC and not attracting voters despite the Liberal collapse and vowing to fight for workers. People are tuning out.
You call what I'm doing (calling a spade a spade) grandstanding and you may be right that their situation won't improve, yet all I see coming from the NDP are tweets and statements

They look identical, the only thing that has happened in between was the publicity stunt in front of the media, yet not a single action of consequence has occurred to help workers while having their right to strike annuled. I do love the self published "Singh blasts Trudeau!". Indeed Singh. Indeed.
We know for sure workers aren't improving under the Liberal - NDP coalition with Singh at the helm. Champagne socialism only goes so far before angry people wake up and vote for an alternative.
