The power in striking doesn’t come from permission. It comes from the fact that labor is the backbone of all business.

Agreed. About 20 years ago in Nova Scotia, nurses were negotiating for a 17% pay increase over 3 years. The province didn’t want to pay, so they passed legislation taking away the nurses’ right to strike.
They walked out anyway. And got their 17%.
Something tells me Montreal won't be too happy about this one.
Since Legault took power in 2018, I've come to remember him for:
- Thinking the been on face coverings and religious symbols hasn't gone far enough
- Blaming nurses, not employers, for patients' issues rising from the nurses' strike
- Bill 96, which has let them require all businesses have French signage (replaced at their own cost), prohibition of already-existing English government resources, and limits the number of students in English speaking schools
- Limiting funding to English-speaking universities in Montreal
- Limiting immigration in an attempt to make sure that a limited amount of non-French speakers move in
- Forming a committee literally named "The Committee of Sages" in order to determine protections and rights for trans people, which also has no trans people, or any LGBTQ+ people
- Advocating for removal of an anti-Palestinian protest camped out on a university's grounds
And now for fucking with strike protections. When the one good thing I can think to say is "He didn't fuck up the COVID response," that's a pretty bad track record.
I wasn't aware of many of those, thanks for sharing. Those are hateful, deeply bigoted policies.
