The full text of section 107 says that the federal minister responsible for labour may “do such things as to the Minister seem likely to maintain or secure industrial peace and to promote conditions favourable to the settlement of industrial disputes or differences and to those ends the Minister may refer any question to the Board or direct the Board to do such things as the Minister deems necessary.”

Since June 2024, section 107 has been invoked eight times to interfere with bargaining or end strikes, including those by postal workers, flight attendants and railway workers.

“When big corporations complain, the government caves,” Gazan said while tabling the bill on Monday. “This is a direct violation of workers’ rights, the right to strike and the right to free collective bargaining. These rights were won through generations of struggle and sacrifice, yet government after government violates the rights of workers whenever it is politically convenient.”

      you mean? “People should have an option to get official government notices, and other important notices from companies through a service that is not owned by capitalism. Sounds like it isn’t for free if everyone is paying for it lol”

      how do you think democracy works? or here is a better one HOW DO YOU THINK CANADA works? you take money from capitalists and spend it on what people vote for…

      every service exists thanks to capitalists in canada. even the government CHARGES YOU AND MAKES A PROFIT off of documents and fees. that is CAPITALISM.

      let me guess you dont have a job or have never looked at your pay stub…
