Canada demands U.S. end ‘right to work’ laws as part of NAFTA talks
Canadian negotiators are demanding the United States roll back so-called "right to work" laws – accused of gutting unions in some U.S. states by starving them of money – as part of the renegotiation of the North American free-trade agreement. The request is part of a push by Ottawa to get the U.S. and Mexico to adopt higher labour standards under the deal.

Mexico, meanwhile, is campaigning to include its oil and gas sector in the deal.

These major moves on the labour and energy files came over the weekend at the second round of NAFTA renegotiations in Mexico City.

F-Canada!

I've had unions stealing almost $1000 a year out of my paycheck for the better part of the last decade. In the 5+ years I've been at my current job, I have yet to meet a union rep or get notice of a meeting. I'd compare unions to the mafia, but the mafia is more respectable.

Oh yeah? Well, how about I demand that Canada allow Reciprocity for my NY CCW permit, and allow me to bring any or all of my firearms to the Great White North?

And that they fix their stupid road signs? And get some food that actually tastes better than cardboard, eh?

Hell, while we're demanding things, let's make sure we add a few things to OUR list, like:

free Canadian beer for tourists with proper ID
free Tim Horton's coffee and doughnuts
free parking everywhere
free entry and drinks at the Canadian Ballet for tourists
free entry / exit everywhere, - ya know, no Canadian Customs, eh?

I hate Canadian bacon. I think even muslims would eat it. It's that bad.

There is little doubt that workers in general have benefited immensely due to the labor movement and the standard of living we all enjoy would be much lower absent the changes hard fought for, and lives were taken in order to create! Health and Safety standards, Pensions, Health Care, Federal Holidays, Standardized Hours, Restriction on Child Labor, etc...

That said... Unions are nothing but a mere shadow of what they once were. As someone once told me, kinda like seeing the impression of where the Baby Grand Piano used to sit on the plush white carpet...

Is appalling that a foreign entity, here in the form of the Canadian Gov't, need to promote and fight for Union ideologies here in the U.S., nothing could be more telling about what a sorry state of affairs the Labor Movement is here now.

Regards!

Once you get past the hairy legs and pits and throw them in the shower with a bar of soap.

When you hear the anit gunners use their favorite statistics about how the USA has the highest gun violence rate of any other country remeber that they are pulling a fast one. The liberals like to use Canada when selling Health Insurance and the same principle applies. Canada has the land mass pretty close to the USA, BUT, the population of Kalifornia. So lets compare the murder rate of Canads to Kali and you have a decent comparison More proof that figures don't lie but liars figure.. So now Canada demands, oohhhh I'm so scared

I still see a need for trade unions in construction. However, I don't agree that they are worth more or better than their non-union counterparts and the prevailing wage laws are a total waste of taxpayer money. Municipal and government unions should be abolished today. They serve no useful purpose what-so-ever. Just my twisted opinion.

Iremember hearing a few years ago that in Quebec there were more Government Employees than private induatry jobs. Kinda like New York.

Of course they do. Unifor, the corrupt Canadian union conglomerate that includes Canadian Auto Workers, dictates political policy. I am sure they would love to have our free-state auto facilities (eg Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, BMW) relocate to Canada under money and power grabbing Unifor parasitic control.

Dude get out of the campgrounds !

Canada can pound sand....

If it wasn't for US industry, especially the automobile and replacement part manufacturing, the great Province of Ontario could roll up the sidewalks and turn out the lights. The world doesn't run on hockey, Tim Hortons, and Casinos alone.

Enough being dictated to by spineless liberals on either side of the northern border.

Road trip to Montreal? I'll drive.

OK, but who is bringing the razors? LOL

 

[ProgSpear]

OK, that's it! From now on, nobody gets to run for any office named "Trudeau"! And the same goes for anyone named "Cuomo"!

 

[meketrefe]

Didn't they invite celebreties to work there if Trump won the election?
What is the status? Nobody left! So I guess those "unions" might not want
anything to do with Canada after all.
What are unions by legalized organized crime? ...actually they are related
through history right?

Come on man...just learn to embrace that furry jungle. lol.

ask for Canadian bacon in Canada and they don't know what you're asking for

As I recall, every time I ever ended up ordering Canadian Bacon as part of a meal what I got was a tough, burnt piece of grizzle filled meat of some unknown variety that would have held up really well as a filler piece in my worn leather soled shoes.

Canadian Bacon? Ugh!

That sounds like something the Hildabeast would have said to her interns thru the years, with Hum a Weiner the most well known among them.
