    The NDP pushed through a bill to remove section 107, which was defeated. The SCC established the constitutional right to strike in 2015. Not only does section 107 not take that away, but the language the government has been using since 2024 has been in that legislation since the 80’s. That bill was theater, not pro-anything. The solution is amend section 107 to make it clear it can only be enforced through back-to-work legislation.

      Lewis pushing for nationalization of Stelco to save jobs. And in this case we have admission from the owner it was bought because it was too efficient and was undercutting their own production. So nationalization in this case is a good idea, of a profitable industry important for national security. No other party is pushing for such protection of these jobs. The Liberals are not stopping those losses from happening and law suits against the owners is a slow step. Nationalize like the UK did to steel very recently.

        I mean, Lewis would nationalize Canadian Tire if he could. That’s what activists do. They perform. And Lewis is performing. “capitalism is the problem,” he says, while wildly benefiting from capitalism.

        Nationalizing Stelco wouldn’t save jobs any more than forcing Cleveland Cliffs to sell the company to a responsible owner would. What nationalizing Stelco would absolutely do is make it a political football. Of course Lewis wants to nationalize Stelco. He’ll never have to deal with the consequences. Activists don’t get elected.
