Canadian Government Threatens/Blackmailing Canadian auto workers Union

[TheAutomanDan]

the day we have a ballot and a vote for our executive at the caw is the day Lewenza represents all of us in the caw.....

[ScientologyStoners]

What the fuck is wrong with his mouth? Notice its crooked

[patsaxon]

Any American made vehicle is way too expensive due to labor cost of the union workers. Why not have all American vehicle be made in China? Every American name brand is being made in China, it could save all of a lot of money and then the union workers will have no choice but to settle for minimum wage jobs like the rest of us had to do.

[CTM1978]

Sounds like an interesting job.

[CTM1978]

So you're saying you made about 66k in one year? That mean you made 5.5k per month, right? Then you're rich bitch! May I ask what you do for a living? The reason I ask is that I have a freind who works for the city of Toronto and only clears 3K after taxes.

[Razorhawk72]

Many of you are talking about these political factions as though they're different. Their main goal is to get power and wealth at all costs and will step on anyone in their way.

Granted there are the few that actualy believe in the ideals of their party but they never make it very far do they.

[nccanuck]

Hey CTM1978

I think you got it wrong, liberals dont beleive in liberty, look at the CBC a state run media organization with one agenda. Liberals like liberty, so thats why they want to bring back the fairness doctrine in the US, thats why democrats will release top secret CIA docs and yet not release pictures of the dumbass photo opportunity over NYC. Yea, liberals beleive in liberty ROTFLMAO ...

[Longsday]

I think you need to study the political spectrum, so you can understand what liberals really believe.

[CTM1978]

Longsday, they're not going to study shit because they're fucking morons who get their Infotainment from Rush Limbaugh who's a high school graduate, drug addicted pedophile. Joe the Plumber is a perfect example of these fucking retards. A know nothing, undereducated gimp who isn't even a licensed plumber and doesn't understand that Obama's tax cuts help him. The GOP is the party of rich white men who get idiots to vote for them because they're racism, sexist, homophobic bible thumpers with guns.

[CTM1978]

The fairness doctrine was put in place to make sure that BOTH sides can have their say and without it you end up with Fox New which is a 24 hour propaganda machine for right wing lies and smears, HEY, what did you think of their top notch reporting that Obama uses DIJON MUSTARD ON HIS ELITIST CHEESEBURGER. Oh and us Liberals do like releasing CIA documents when they pertain to WATER BOARDING as it is A FUCKING WAR CRIME!!!

[CTM1978]

Another thing dipshit, when will the CIA release the footage of flight AA Flight 77 hitting the Pentagon ,eh asswipe?

[Nidder1]

I'm a liberal and partially agree with some of these statements, but one is no better than the other and until we put our partisan emptyheaded bullshit behind us, we'll continue down this dead end path. It was Paul Martin who started SPP - the complete sell-out of our sovereignty. As in the US we simply have two sides of the same coin. And Obama? How many promises has he broken already? He is simply taking the Bush agenda and furthering it. Making N.A. "safer". All CRAP.

[GTnumber1]

No one here is blaming the real culprit for this mess..GENERAL MOTORS..that's right..it's GM that lost it's edge since the late 90's in terms of vision, build quality and lack of foresight..So there's been a steady 30-45% annual shift of GM customers over to the more reliable and better selection of import vehicles..Thanks alot Rick Wagoner and company for fuckin GM up and causing the biggest loss of sales in GM history..Hope you enjoyed your fancy jet while it lasted.

[couter2000]

That was 3 minutes and 56 seconds of bullshit....THE COMPANY IS FUCKING DYING .....THE GOVERNMENTS BURNING MONEY TO SAVE IT AND YOU SELFISH FUCKERS CAN'T SEE THAT.......ITS LIKE THESE AUTO WORKER HAVE TO HAVE THIS ECONOMIC DOWNTURN EXPLAINED T O THEM WITH PUPPETS BECAUSE THEY ALL HAVE MENTALITY OF 8 YEAR OLD'S. GO FUCK YOURSELF KEN AND ALL YOU AUTOWORKERS ....SPOILED OVERPAID UNDEREDUCATED,,, AND IF YOU THUMBDOWN THIS YOUR A IDIOT

[CTM1978]

Harper is a conservative and conservatives are ruling class, elitists and aristocratic scum whos only goal is to drive this country into the ground and turn us into Mexico, China and India.

[bulldogger]

Liberals are no different jackass.

[CTM1978]

Uh, no, liberals gave us the 40 hour workweek, conservative would bring back the workhouses if they could. You see that paycheck that you get every two weeks. The only reason you have that is because LIBERALS fought for decades to give us a standard of living which CONSERVATIVE are always trying to bring down at the behest of their corporate masters.

[bulldogger]

Your naive, you need only look to Mussolini for an example of what Liberal Corporatism (Fascism) looks like. I bet you will vote for Mr.Empire Lite thinking he will be your very own Obama, after all, Obama is working for the people right ?

[CTM1978]

You sound like you watch Fox News. It's funny how people like you have been trying to rewrite history by telling everyone that "Oh, Hitler and Mussolini were LIBERALS". Fuck you! Liberals believe in that little thing called LIBERTY which means freedom in thought and action. Conservatives are by their nature authoritarian fascist's in the pockets of corporations who's only goal is to bring back the two class system. I'm sorry but you are delusional and to you facts and reality are optional.

[Nidder1]

Open your eyes. Right=Fascist. Left=Communist. Who cares. As far as I can see they are working together to bring in a global communist system under a corporatist fascist structure. We need to get our heads out of our asses and start looking at the big picture, not ignorantly blaming each other.

[richfisherman]

In Canada Trudeau adopted socialist policy's and Chretien and Martin, Dion and now Iggy have solidified that position.

Problem with socialism, famously is "when you run out of other peoples money".

Oops looks like Dalton McSquinty and the CAW management tards never heard of that old saying.

Conservatives rely on individual freedom, self reliance, small government, low taxes.

[CTM1978]

Conservatives rely on ignorant, uninformed voters to put them in power so they can do the bidding of corporations. They believe in Low taxes for the Rich. Conservatives don't want to govern which is why they go on about "small government" and so they can chop up and sell their responsibilities to private interests i.e. Mike Harris fucking up Ontario Hydro. "Individual Freedom"? Yeah because Canada is just like China, right you fucking dolt? Conservatives are aristocratic elitist scum.

[CTM1978]

Another thing, "self reliance" is conservative code for "you'd be rich if it wasn't for all those people on welfaire and disbility stealing money out of your pocket, vote for me and I'll kick them off". What have conservatives given us in the last 25 years? NAFTA which has decimated our manufacturing base and has been slowly killing the middle class for years which is why we have so many people on welfair. Stupid assholes like you VOTED for the destruction of our economy. You are the problem.

[SaveOurSovereignty3]

The Canadian economy as i understand is doing quite well compared to the rest of the industrialized nations through out this recession.

Conservatives have not been in power in Canada for the majority of the last 25 years as you speak i believe it has been the liberal government that has been in the majority for most of that duration.

And i believe the conservative stance in regards to small government is to be less intrusive in the common citizens life as possible.

[CTM1978]

Canada is doing better then the US because the Chretien/Martin administrations/Liberal Government that was in place from 93 to 2006. They didn't stop so called "Free Trade" but because of them we aren't facing the economic devastation of the US and that's because they didn't allow the type of insane financial risks that have crippled Wall Street. Luckily Bush-lite/Harper and the Conservatives don't have enough power to trash the country as the Republicans/GOP did to the USA over the last 8 years

[spernoadversa]

I totally agree!!!

[CTM1978]

Furthermore, it's not about less intrusivness. Do we have soldiers on the streets with weapons every day? Do the police randomly raid your home or anyone you know for no reason? No, "less intrsive" is Conservative code for "we just want to be in control of the treasury and the military while we also dismantle Canadian Free Health Care so we can chop it up, give it to our corporate buddies and turn it into the HELLISH system that the USA has." Conservatives have NO interest in Governing.

[Longsday]

People tend to forget history, CTM.

[311bmurr]

damn right!

[smileytrucker]

Ok so what we have here is Canadian gov doing the same thing the US gov is doing. Do I have this right? Sorry since the loss of my job due to GMs downfal here I have been VERY busy looking for work that isnt here and a new home since the eviction.

[LeGioNoFZioN]

this is why the government should have let GM fail, because the governemnt can't support them all, and neither can GM so who has to do that now ?

I would be cheaper to pay for the retirees who deserve full compensation, so that the government just covers those costs while the inefficient giant GM passes away in its sleep.

[SaveOurSovereignty3]

Agreed

The retirees should not be effected in any case

[LeGioNoFZioN]

thanks, I really dig your channel by the way, but I can't lie, I would much prefer the Canuck gov't just leave this crap alone, they could always get more development later when the car industry settles down a bit. All I worry for are the retirees, everyone else, it sucks but you got to move on

[CanadianPatriot1973]

This just makes me SICK!! AHHHHHHHHH, i cant STAND IT!!
