re> lower labor standards ??

I guess they don't have an OSHA in Canada.

[Cowboy Bob]

Canada is not in a position to make demands. LOL!

[trebb]

Canada believes that lower labour standards in the United States and Mexico, including right to work, give those countries an unfair advantage in attracting jobs.

I guess the Canucks miss the obvious solution - if right-to-work is an advantage, then maybe they should adopt it.....

[Former Proud Canadian]

Let me explain something to you. This is one of those “demands” that will be given up as negotiations progress. Even Little Pierre is smart enough to know this “demand” is impossible on its face.

[MarMema]

Canada is extremely fascist anymore.

Right to work does not reflect lower working standards, however, it does mirror one of our esteemed images of personal FREEDOM—whether to belong to a union and pay union dues, or not.

Note to our good neighbors up North: Guys, your government and negotiators have gone off the deep end. Y’all might wanna have a word with them.

[polymuser]

Poor Canada. But, they voted in the girliemen.

Canada, if you don't want NAFTA, just say​ so. The right to work states, will tell Trudeau to go F himself...

[Phil DiBasquette]

They have Oshawa though...

My govenrment needs to get bent.

Anyone want to adopt western Canada? We have all the resources and we’re by and large very conservative.

Thanks for posting. This is good to watch because unions are so 1930s.. I call them union slavery states. Wonder what the businessman front union slavery state of ny will do?

Canada wants the United States to pass a federal law stopping state governments from enacting right-to-work legislation

Fixed it.

The USA like Canada seems to get judged by what the corrupt media says and not what the people want.

BTW I was in Victoria on a stop from a cruise and loved the town. Alaska people were great also.

Let’s take Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta in exchange for California, Oregon and Washington...

This is exactly why it was right to pull out of the TPP.
The use of trade treaties to say “you agreed to this trade treaty, now over-write your laws because we don’t like them, because of the treaty”.

[tbw2]

While the “right to work” is what is discussed in this article, their government also wants to push “gender equity” and other issues via the treaty.
When Ontario passed a bill that says you will use their pronouns or go to civil tribunals that don’t recognize presumption of innocence or due process, can order you to do anything short of jail and you get sent to courts that can send you to jail if you disobey ... this is backdoor implementation of social justice warrior demands if we let them use a trade treaty to alter our laws.

Canada, sorry but as a federation of states, the states have the law if they want to be a right to work states, not the federal government. Why not try it...?
