No longer possible. Too many Canadians live paycheck to paycheck, they can't survive the time it would take to force government action against business.
No no no. You don’t understand. People have nothing to lose cause it’s all been taken away.
You've proven my point that our unions in Canada are pathetically weak. Sweden's, for example, strike for each other or make it painful for companies/businesses to conduct unfavourable labour practices.
It'll become possible during the next major crisis when unemployment jumps to (higher) double digits. Unemployed people have lots of time on their hands.
Unemployed people cant strike.
Sure - but a large number of unemployed, broke and hungry people are going to be very desperate. I believe the saying goes something along the lines of - "every government is just a few meals away from collapse".
Brain fart. Meant protest/disrupt.
