Canada’s Union Culture: The relation between Cargill meatpacking plant closure and Calgary’s COVID-19 Costco’s Union Demands – April 25, 2020,
So, a few days ago RebelNews.media did a story that fed into their narrative that Justin Trudeau via open borders and other incompetencies was helping to spread COVID-19. Personally I think Justin Trudeau will go down in history as Canada’s worst PM economically. I can’t control how Canadians will perceive him when he’s no longer PM, but it’s undeniable at this point that economically Justin Trudeau is by fr the worst Prime Minister in Canadian history.
With that, I focus on solutions, and when economies crash, only the market can revive them and labor unions whether you like them or not are anti-free-market. People who are pro-labor-Union mantra assume that during economic downturns, that the company either has a rainy day fund workers are entitled to, or that the Government can bail out the company they work for or that the Government can simply nationality the private company they work for and give it to the workers.
Union workers many of them, don’t see how they shot themselves in the foot via collective bargaining in a Western democracy based on individualism. With that said, private companies even those that can afford to pay an above-market wage, which often exceeds any minimum wage, if given the opportunity will choose foreign workers of Canadian workers, primarily because of the Union Culture in Canada.
For every action there’s a reaction, I’ve worked in non-union and union environments and I’ve made a lot more money working in non-union environments because as an individual I have more bargaining power once I get good at my job. Also because I’m into business, the better I get at my job, the better investor I become, and the more of a threat I can become to the owner of a private company.
In America as an example what a lot of people do is they’ll work for a company for a few years, figure out how it works and launch their own company! Capitalism isn’t about slavery or being forced to work for someone, capitalism is about freedom and having the liberty to work for yourself!
When you take the Union approach, you’re actually going against the will of your ancestors, our ancestors wanted us to be FREE from collectivism, but for many Canadians including many Canadians who live in Western Canada, they don’t see the correlation between a strong union culture and a shrinking manufacturing sector in Canada.
Alberta is Canada’s Texas, but let’s be frank about it, Canadian Conservativism is very protectionist and this is all and well during the good times, but during the challenging times, most Canadians won’t even have a frame of reference as to how to solve an economic downturn.

So, if it’s one thing I’ll give Quebecers credit for, it’s their the ability to push back against the powers that be. In Quebec their government appeared to want to stress out their health care professionals during COVID-19, well some health care professionals in Quebec simply stopped showing up to work. When there was a push back against the public teachers in Quebec, some public school teachers resigned.
They didn’t wait for instructions from some union, they didn’t wait for permission, they felt like they were being wronged and they stopped showing up for work. Quebec’s government is a house of cards, but you’d never it because Quebecers use every means at their disposal to make the Federal government yield to their demands.
Alberta although Canada’s most free market has a tendency to want to Sit on the fence on certain issues, they want to be capitalist here, but socialist here, well Quebecers are clear that they’re socialists and because of this clarity, the people of Quebec don’t have to pretend to be capitalist one day and then become socialist another day.
The article below is why Cargill meatpacking plant has so many foreign workers! Yes, it really is that simple, Big companies especially companies with shareholders, see these things long before most people can comprehend. If I start this massive business and employee thousands of people, based on the research I expect A, B, and C to happen.
I expect when I employee a lot of old stock Canadians they will unionize drive prices up, report us to the media for any little thing, want our company to take care of them from cradle to grave and possibly employ the power of a politician to destroy any hopes of us making a profit.
So in order to avoid these economic pitfalls, we as “ABC company” I will do A, B, and C to avoid the destruction of our business. Business people are stupid and if more Canadians started businesses, they’d understand that Unions are one of the biggest reasons why immigrants are flooding our borders! Any and all government regulations equate to more Canadians being unemployed on welfare and for a lot of Canadian voters who are on welfare, they love the idea of voting for a politician who will protect their welfare and get other people to do all the hard work!

Now, a reminder that the article above is regarding a private company called Costco, every single employee at Costco has the right to QUIT!, In fact Justin Trudeau is incentivizing people to stay at home, it’s unlikely that if any Costco worker decided not to show up for work that Costco could even fire them, but you see the Union, obviously looking for an opportunity to raise its own profile and make more money, uses this crisis to help to destroy more Canadian companies.
Western democracies can only survive if people are PRODUCTIVE! Entities that destroy production create problems that Argentina as an example will probably never escape from! In Argentina, there are frequent currency crashes because their government is too big, their union culture is too strong and no private business wants to do business in Argentina without STRICT guarantees.
Because most of the people in Argentina have been taught that capitalism is exploitation, they shoot themselves in the foot, which is why they constantly have hyper-inflation problems. I get it that in Canada, we imagine that what happens in Latin America can’t happen here, well, I hope you’re right!
Interesting times ahead!
