It should not be used as a negotiation tactic with workers and it should never be considered to be a normal thing to for the government to use.

Oh, I wasn't disagreeing with you or saying you didn't have a point.
I agree with you 100%

I was just engaging in a bit of, well deserved, self loathing for being from a province that has actually used/tried to use the NWC in two instances where the point wasn't "We're going to strip people of these rights to protect others, and/or because we have no other recourse", but was rather "We're going to use the NWC to strip people of these rights....that's it...that's the point".
