Canada’s Public Service Union Predator Class

Gwyn Morgan: Canada’s unfair public-private compensation gap

It seems the enormous compensation and job security advantages enjoyed by public sector employees aren’t enough

… Meanwhile, during COVID public-sector workers kept their jobs, added two years’ credit to their gilded pension benefits and even, many of them, received wage increases. Statistics Canada’s January 2022 Labour Force Survey found that all of the country’s 206,000 job losers were private-sector employees. Public-sector employment, on the other hand, was 305,000 higher than at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020.

Add in the Corporate Welfare Class, the State Media and the NGO’s and Not for Profits that rely on tax payer largesse and you have the landscape of the political class that keeps a dolt like Justin Trudeau in power.

FUREY: Just how broad is the Laith Marouf problem?

The rot starts at the top.

It’s a good thing the Liberal government has admitted a mistake in doling out grants to something called the Community Media Advocacy Centre (CMAC). But now the question becomes how broad of a problem are we dealing with here.

Anyone involved in approving implementation, managing, teaching or otherwise supporting the CRT/anti-racism scam in anyway within Canada’s public sector should be regarded as a vile racist like Marouf and immediately terminated.

Canada’s government-driven labour market recovery is unsustainable

At first glance, according to several commonly used indicators, Canada’s labour market has recovered from the initial COVID recession that began in 2020. Canada’s unemployment rate is now lower than when the pandemic hit, and the employment rate (the share of the adult population that’s working) has almost recovered to pre-COVID levels.

However, the story is more complicated than the headline numbers suggest. The latest monthly labour force statistics confirm that the government sector – not the private sector – has driven job growth since 2020.

GOLDSTEIN: Pandemic employment recovery almost all gov’t jobs, report says

While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals boast about Canada’s historically low unemployment rate of 4.9% as a sign of economic recovery from the pandemic, a new study by the Fraser Institute reports almost all of the gains have been in the public sector.

What happens when civil servants get partisan?

Non-partisanship is a principle of Canada’s public service. So when Ottawa civil servants cheered Trudeau’s arrival, they violated a basic principle of government

Trudeau is shoring up the base at our expense.

Vivian Bercovici: Laith Marouf embodies critical race theory that is so popular in Ottawa

Laith Marouf, who is now an international household name, seems to have had a bad week. After his many antisemitic twitter rantings became a source of controversy for Ottawa, his government contract was suspended. Explaining why he locked his twitter account, he blames three prominent “Zios” myself included, who he says were “directing their attack dogs” to him.

Rex Murphy: What’s the Liberals’ excuse for hiring an ‘anti-racist’ who spews antisemitism?

Here is the essence of the extraordinary story of the Federal Anti-Racism Secretariat and Laith Marouf, its dollar-swaddled beneficiary.

A grant of 133,000 taxpayer dollars is given to the Community Media Advocacy Centre (CMAC) to build an anti-racism strategy for the broadcasting sector. The CMAC’s senior consultant, Laith Marouf, has made multiple antisemitic posts. He is also not kind to Americans or French Canadians. He is a practiced gymnast of vile attitudes.

Years of racist indoctrination and diversity hiring within our government & predatory public service unions are behind the Marouf hiring.

I’m willing to bet that those responsible are shocked anyone could possibly fault them.

Welcome to “Peak Trudeau” – a sick culture that rewards racists. 

And don’t for a minute think it will get better because Marouf made headlines.

The Kumbaya Kool-Aid Klan are triumphant. Now shut up and don’t rock the boat.

Many federal government employees balking at returning to offices

The federal government is facing pushback from employees reluctant to return to government offices after more than two years working from home.

Online forums for public servants have exploded in recent weeks with comments about the prospect of returning to offices, with employees comparing notes on the hybrid work plans each department is planning to adopt.

One comment by a Health Canada manager urging employees to return to the office, in part, to provide employees at a nearby Subway restaurant with more hours, blew up into a series of sarcastic memes online.

Ken Coates: Canada is a country without a centre, without a purpose

… But our greatest challenge is at home. One of the world’s most over-governed nations, Canada is on the verge of earning new stripes for ineffective governance. Many Canadians found a safe financial haven with CERB and other support payments during the early years of the pandemic. But the federal government workforce’s almost unchecked expansion has not been matched by higher quality services or improved attention to citizen’s needs.

Government application and reporting systems have turned into expensive slogs, while reporting on outcomes has declined dramatically. Approval processes for mines and major infrastructure projects deter all but the most determined companies. The country is an outlier on oil and gas production; African nations are urging major investments, while Canada does its best to keep this energy in the ground, at great cost to its treasuries.

Jamie Sarkonak: Some are more equal than others, according to Canada’s immigration ministry

In a corporate plan for an anti-racist “systems change,” Canada’s immigration ministry says it isn’t fair to treat people equally regardless of background. Instead, people should be treated according to their level of innate privilege.

In other words, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has embraced critical race theory — or diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), as it’s called in practice — with a plan called Anti-Racism Strategy 2.0. It openly signals a shift to the ideological left.

The criminally insane are running the asylum.

RCMP pauses billing to local governments, provinces as salaries soar

The federal government says it won’t bill provinces and municipalities for the retroactive portion of Mountie salaries while it considers whether to help shoulder some of the burden of a steep pay-raise package.

The RCMP union negotiated its first contract with the Treasury Board last August and gained significant wage increases for its members, prompting some mayors and town councillors to say that because of the heightened costs, they could no longer afford their police.

Costs for the nearly 20,000 RCMP officers are shared between federal, provincial and municipal governments.

Canada’s public service is collapsing. Let us count the ways

Justin Trudeau meets adoring Civil Servants – What happens when civil servants get partisan?

If you’ve needed a new passport within the last few months, good luck.

Those whose essential travel document expired within the last two years of the COVID-19 pandemic are now facing a harsh new reality when it comes to getting a renewed passport. Long lines, camping overnight outside passport offices, desperation, tears, flared tempers and the occasional fist fight.

That is if they weren’t willing to pony up hundreds of dollars, at a rate of $25 to $50 per hour, to pay someone to wait in line at the passport office for them.

But they’ll all get pay raises and increased benefits at your expense. Our politicians and predatory civil service unions have created a new ruling class.  They hate us.

More corruption among Canada’s predatory public service unions….

Toronto city workers’ union rocked by president’s resignation after OMERS payments probe

The head of the union representing 20,000 city of Toronto workers has resigned amid allegations he received payments from his second-in-command after helping him get a prime position on an outside board.

The turmoil in Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 79 comes after OMERS, the municipal employees pension fund, probed concerns that one union official had paid another for the local’s spot on its board, which pays $46,000 a year, the Star has learned.

The revelations are the latest in a string of problems for Local 79 — which has been grappling with infighting and other issues, including grievances over members being fired by the city for not being vaccinated against COVID-19 — and for Canada’s labour movement more broadly, as an unrelated scandal rocks the country’s largest private-sector union, Unifor.

Trudeau and the NDP plan to reward allies in predatory public service unions with 10 days paid sick leave

Liberal-NDP deal includes a push for 10 days of paid sick leave for federal workers

OTTAWA – The Liberal Party of Canada and the federal New Democratic Party signed an agreement to keep Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in power until 2025 in exchange for moving forward on a series of policies.

The “confidence and supply deal” would secure the NDP’s support for major legislation, such as budget bills and confidence votes, necessary for the minority Liberal government to stay in power until the next election in three years.
