Justin Trudeau’s Corporatist Liberals roll out new worker protections – October 2, 2018,
Instead of simply cutting taxes and cutting the size of government Justin Trudeau’s Liberals decided to take the opposite approach, growing the size of government and adding more frivolous government regulations for obvious political points against Doug Ford’s economic plan for Ontario.

Understanding contract-flipping and why it doesn’t require any government attention
In the Toronto Star Article I’m referring too above and below there are a few things to understand, firstly is government joining forces with union leaders, unions are special interest groups and a lot of the frivolous laws being written in Canada are created by Union Leaders. To understand how Canada has become so corporatized is to read the statement in the Toronto Star post that states the following:
The newly announced updates to the Canada Labour Code would impact workers in federally-regulated sectors like airlines, telecommunications, trucking, and banks, which employ around 900,000 people across the country.
To understand why the government shouldn’t be sticking its nose into this is to understand why flipping fuelling contracts exist in the first place. It exists for the same reason Canada Post workers are on strike right now, because federally protected, unionized public sector workers will inevitably demand more money for the same amount of work and if their demands aren’t met, they’ll strike and disrupted an entire federally regulated industry if you don’t pay them what they believe their labor is worth.
Canada Post’s latest strike is a frivolous strike, Canada Post workers make more money doing the same or less work than employees at UPS, DHL, FedEx etc. But because they’re a unionized crown corporation they strike when they feel like it, the actual details or comparisons to their competitiors doesn’t matter much because they’re the special delivery service, they’re the federally regulated courier service with a public sector union.
So because of this Crown Corporation status Canada Post rarely if ever puts the needs of the public ahead of their own. I mean when I don’t like how a job is treating me, I quit? if I don’t quit because let’s say I decided to have children before I was financially able to take care of them it’s only right that I complain to anyone who will listen. That makes sense, but what’s happening to our country is that this corporatism is costing Canadians a lot of money and a lot of jobs.
I’m a firm believer in worker safety, but in a free society, if you don’t like the way your employer is treating you quit. If you’re wondering why you have so little money it’s because the options of Canadians are being minimized by corporatism. Fewer options equate to you paying more and earning less via inflation. Walmart has Amazon as a competitor which forces Walmart to keep its prices competitive, you might notice that in many Ontario grocery stores every once in a while the grocery store will have a super sale, well the truth is that grocery store could have or would have had lower prices if it didn’t have all of these government regulations.
If you’ve ever been to a clothing store, you might notice that every once in a while they have super sales, well the truth is their overall prices would have a lot cheaper if the governments hadn’t added so many frivolous regulations. When prices go up your paycheck declines and the more Canada becomes more corporatized the more expensive things are going to get.
Minimum wages shouldn’t even exist, minimum wages is one of the dumbest laws in human history. Minimum wages actually hurt fuel service workers, if there were no minimum wages they’d have to pay those workers a market wage, if there was no minimum wage, chances are that sector would have to pay more, because in a workd where there is no minimum wage, an employer has to worry the employer will quit.
When the cost of living is low, people quit their jobs or retire a lot sooner, minimum wages artificially raise the cost of living, minimum wages also cause certain jobs not be created, which in turn creates more demand for welfare. Understand that in Canada there are a lot of vacant jobs if you’re wondering why this is? It’s because employers don’t want to train anymore, why you ask? Because the government created too many frivolous regulations. People tend not to look at the end results of government intervention in the job market. If the government as an example does this
The new legislation, introduced on Parliament Hill on Monday, will provide employees in federally regulated industries with five days of personal leave, three of which will be paid. It will allow workers to refuse last-minute shifts without fear of reprisal. It will also make it illegal to pay part-time, temporary, and casual workers less than their permanent counterparts.
guess what the private sector will do? They’ll hire part-time, temporary and casual workers over full-time workers. They’ll also opt for contract workers if possible usually through an employment agency or something of that sort. This is the reality of the world we live in, in America what’s been happening since the cost of starting a business has been going down is that employers are doing things in reverse, meaning they’ll overpay an employee and allow unions in hopes that the government doesn’t over-regulate them, because what Liberals and socialists don’t understand is that it’s the regulations that hurt the economy the most. The money is one thing the regulations mean something entirely different.
As an example regulations almost destroyed the coal industry in the United States, Trump lifted those regulations and an entire industry iis up and running again. ow, some will argue that technology will replace coal and yes this might be true but this is how the free market works if someone has a flawed way of doing something they’ll lose business, they’ll lose employees, they’ll lose contracts. the reason people are refusing to quit these Airport jobs and these other government jobs is that they’re making more money there than they would work somewhere else. Again nobody is holding a gun to these people’s heads and saying you must work while we exploit you?
Nobody is holding a gun to these Canada post workers heads and saying you must work for us and be exploited, no they’re working at these jobs by choice and if their money isn’t going far enough it’s because their options have been depleted and their options are being depleted because everytime the government creates a new regulation the barrier to becoming an Ontario employer just artificially rose which means the pools of employers are lesson which means the cost of living is going to go up because there are fewer options available to consumers.
Click the link below and ask yourself in a free society where nobody is forcing you to work why don’t these people quit their jobs and find something better? If there is nothing better ask yourself why, if you don’t have an answer I’ll give you my answer, they don’t want the responsibility of being a boss, or being an entrepreneur, they instead want the government to force the entrepreneurs to pay them more because they don’t have the heart to quit or negotiate their own wages.
I’ve done a lot of jobs in my life and the ones I didn’t like I quit, after I quit a few jobs and worked at a few agencies and negotiated my wages with my employers I personally grew to hate unions, because the bosses, employers are nothing but people too, if they refuse to talk to you or negotiate with you, move on, what you should be concerned with as an employee is the inability to move on because you only have a 1 or 2 employers in a certain sector to choose from. That’s what scary to me and that’s the path Canada is headed down, we’re heading down this corporate path and big corporations tend to automate everything and replace humans with robots. That’s what’s scary and this happening faster and faster every day because people are having to pay corporations more whole corporations spend less and with the help of the government, corporations are raising the barrier to entry, meaning that there are fewer and fewer entrepreneurs being created in Canada Scary stuff.
