I would urge everyone to keep track of any organization (labour or otherwise) who advertises that they support the troops, and then we should get together somehow and figure out how to make them put their money where their mouths are. A couple of unions here in Edmonton as well as the Alberta...

I've worked at two union places under two different unions.  Most people on the shop floor at the plants I worked at support the military.  Apart from that, they want to be able to work some overtime without being raped by the taxman and have a good standard of living.  Unions mostly exist...

I think if was a decision forced on the government to stop a mass conversion on the part of companies to income trusts.  It was a short-sighted political tactic in the election to promise not to step in but circumstances changed. With the libs, they would have leaked it to their buddies, like...
