    Andrea Horwath herself was quoted as saying that the cuts the Cons would bring in would set back health care and education by years,
    Ah, that makes sense - they are literally paid to take that position. I thought you meant out in the wild/general population.

    Who would have guessed that these folks on the nationalist alt-right spreads fake news? According to the fellow, the lines of code they're quoting is out to lunch. "There are about 68,000 lines in the current software, and I don't care how many of those I personally authored."

    As reported by labour organizations, the total number of workers paying dues to a union in Canada was 4.83 million at the end of 2015
    Union dues-paying workers comprised 31.8% of all employees in Canada in 2015

    So no, not the majority.

    I suppose it can be called a large number while the flipside of it (1-X) is much larger.

    Unionization rate, Canada and provinces, 2016 %
    Newfoundland and Labrador 36.1
    Quebec 35.5
    Manitoba 33.1
    Saskatchewan 30.9
    Nova Scotia 29.6
    Prince Edward Island 29.5
    Canada 28.4
    British Columbia 27.4
    New Brunswick 26.7
    Ontario 25.2
    Alberta 23.1

    Union folk plus there family’s. Plus all their students

    Don’t know how many but enough to get us 15 years of liberals despite reckless spending and horrible mismanagement


    I’m not the one who said majority. I said a lot. Don’t put words in my mouth then throw stats out to “prove me wrong”

    30% of people are unionized When only around 60% actually vote and the unions they follow are some of the biggest donators to certain political party’s and the unions tell their members how to vote.

    I’d say it’s kind of relevant

    So one side of the media puts all the credit on her dispite it being a big team effort

    And the other side of the media puts the credit on him despite it being a team effort

    But only one side is bad and you instantly label them alt right?
