Big Labour has started campaigning for left-wing politicians early, a year out from the next federal election.
Canada’s mega union, Unifor, has declared itself the “resistance” to Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer in a comical photo showcasing a handful of sour union faces posed around a stern looking union boss named Jerry Diaz. The image has spawned dozens of bad jokes and memes.
Unifor, Canada’s largest private sector union representing auto workers, oil sands workers, and journalists alike, has the money, the means, and the media, on their side.
However, suddenly the CBC is interested in conservative third-party spending in elections.
CBC’s resident conspiracy theorist, Wendy Mesley, spoke to the founder of Ontario Proud, Jeff Ballingal, about how his small conservative social media meme-based political action group is shaping the way people view conservative politics, now that he’s got his sights set on Justin Trudeau.
You see, CBC didn't care much when American environmental groups were dumping millions of dollars into the arms of Canadian activists to block Canadian pipelines and cripple the Alberta economy.
They don’t bat an eye as Unifor declares war on Conservatives, using union dues from members to wage political battles with little to no spending transparency required.
But now that conservatives are fighting back, the CBC is worried about big money influencing politics. Give me a break!
Joining me tonight in an interview recorded earlier this week to talk about how Big Labour sways Canadian elections, the mainstream media and influences geopolitical outcomes, is author, researcher and activist, Bill Tufts.
So with about $100 billion in new deficits since the fool on Parliament Hill took over, $23b of that is give-a-ways.
Just within the past few weeks it has come out that we are financing India’s low cost housing program to the tune of $2 billion. What about Canadians in need?
$600 million for third world abortions; what about Canadians needing medical attention?
$41 million for Afghanistan to give money to its veterans, yet a week earlier Princess Feminist Justin told a Canadian veteran there just isn’t any money for our veterans.
Equally idiotic “economists” say the government won’t go bankrupt. Perhaps they should understand that government money is actually the hard earned funds of Canadians, and not something the government earned.
Now 2 million Canadians living abroad for years, if not decades, get to vote in federal elections – they have no stake in the vote, but we who live here do. Now add in 3 million non-citizens, which includes illegals, temporary labour, fence/queue jumpers, and so on, get to decide Canada’s future. No other country does this, and for very good reasons.
But the Liberals will probably win the next election. Andrew Scheer will have more Conservative voters staying home than would vote for him. How sad for us as the choice would be between an idiot PM or a weathervane PM. Heck, the NDP might sneak in a win. Any way you look at it, we are so screwed.
With all the laws we have had forced on us by the ‘bureaucracy’, why do we even need unions anymore?!
…we’re having a postal strike in Canada…just before Christmas…again!
We, the undersigned, Canadians, call upon the Government of Canada to likewise withdraw from the Global Compact For Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.

If the CBC is really worried about big money influencing politics then perhaps they should consider shutting themselves down.
-hear hear, what a bunch of bloody hypocrites!
When a Conservative government passes a law, often time the Liberal court judges will overturn the law.
That issue must be addressed at the same time as the issue of the lack of political will.
Union rank & file members have little,if no say,in what transpires in modern-day union negotiations.They signed away closure via their support a long….long….time ago.
Under the guise of “progressive advancement”, unions have demanded outrageous and irresponsible concessions based on the the input of their membership……crap to that.
Discount the deadwood and “factually-challenged” input of members of any union dispute and you will find a very strong socialism-based machine that has an agenda that bears no resemblance to the members it is supposed to be representing.
Wendy Meddlesome,is, as her usual approach suggests…..well…..Wendy Meddlesome.
They always know the buttered side from the dry…..
My question for him would be, why does he think the Liberals will lose the 2019 Election when most polls say the Opposite?
Not only are union dues spent on political parties,but they are spent on political parties in other countries.A number of years ago, CUPW was funding South American dissidents with Canadian postal union funds.(our brothers & sisters,as they referred to them…). More recently,they have funded Hamas organizations.This is the state of things in the present world.Are you aware that Diaz(top union guy) was on the NAFTA Canadian negotiating team.Exactly what was he doing there??
