Labour Unions Mistake Alberta for Hamilton
October 21, 2007 · By Aaron Unruh
Alberta’s largest labour organization is threatening to launch an election-style campaign aimed at punishing the ruling Tories at the ballot box if Premier Ed Stelmach scraps a government-commissioned panel’s proposal to raise oil and gas royalties.
What. A. Joke. Where do union threats actually mean anything nowadays? Hamilton? Windsor? Nice cities, those.
Counterproductive too. What kind of Alberta premier worth his salt would want to be seen as siding with the lazy, bloated, entitled, useless labour unions?
Let’s hope that Stelmach implements the Royalty Review recommendations word for word, but certainly not because the ridiculous and delusional Alberta unions have threatened the government if they are not.

Unions should be abolished. They no longer serve any purpose today (in fact, they’re more like the mafia).
This is what I imagine someone less eloquent than Werner saying,
“Yeah, doesn’t it suck when people organize and exercise their democratic rights? Granted they are just working on an information campaign, so it won’t actually hurt anyone because they wouldn’t be walking out on strike, God forbid. But, I mean, Jesus Christ, you would think organized labour had a stake in the future of the province they pay taxes in. Seriously, the lazy bastards, I mean, all they really do is go to work every day, keep the economic engine of the province moving forward, and make sure that their bosses follow the labour code and ensure a safe work environment. And now they want to see the people of Alberta get a bigger slice of the pie, because, you know, Alberta’s infrastructure cannot handle the increased population that big business needed to improve their economic situation, right? Are they communists or something? Goddamn sons of bloody whores, looking out for the average citizens of Alberta. We have our own fucking guns and can take care of ourselves, you cocksuckers. Democratic expression is for pansies.”
“…keep the economic engine of the province moving forward…”
HA HA HA HA HA

Well thanks Werner – more stunning analysis from “one of Canada’s leading political pundits.”
