One Big Treasonous Example

Of our government.

GM, CAW reach new labour deal

General Motors Canada and the Canadian Auto Workers union have reached a new deal on labour concessions.

He said the deal meets the competitive benchmarks laid out by governments, and guarantees that company plants in the Ontario communities of Oshawa, St. Catharines and Woodstock will remain open.

"The reality is this: we’re not dealing in a normal situation here. The government of the U.S. has made a decision … it will engage in politically driven restructuring of GM," Harper told reporters in Calgary.

"Either we participate or these companies — which are big in the economy — will simply be restructured out of Canada. That's not a reasonable alternative. We are committed to participating," he said.

"It will be a very expensive proposition. Not doing anything would be more expensive, more damaging."

So our government puts it on the unions backs to protect jobs in Canada.

They are helpless to protect Canadians against the US.

Harper's solution is to sell out to the US.

Where the hell is the Dief?

Where the hell is Sir. John A.

Where in hell are our MP's?
