Albertan minister, a Chamber of Commerce guy and a CN rail official. No union representation. This is a bit shameful from the CBC. At least the interviewer did ask a few questions on behalf of labor.

Workers are the average Canadian. I wish we’d get that perspective more

But these workers are not. These workers are fighting for their rights, and that's going to inconvenience everybody else. So, they're going to highlight that inconvenience, rather than the underlying cause.

Too many of us have gotten convinced that we're something else.
