@jimbostanford.bsky.socialThis is an outstanding refutation of PM Carney's double-speak on proposed Canada Labour Code amendments, from Colleen Bauman and Mark Rowlinson: www.thestar.com/opinion/cont....

Pretty gross that we are suddenly in an election for no good reason beyond what smells less rancid for government MLAs.
