This week of Labour Day, which took place on Monday, the leader of the federal Conservatives, Pierre Poilievre, is trying to seduce this electorate of employees who are not naturally won over to him.
Most workers know that by voting Conservative in the next federal election they would be shooting themselves in the foot, and rightly so.
Historically, conservative parties have rarely contributed to improving the lot of workers. They have always taken advantage of this to reduce taxes for the richest by placing the greatest burden of taxation and taxes on the middle class. They have cut services to the population while seeking to reduce workers’ rights and security in order to reduce fixed costs for companies in order to increase profits for shareholders.
The latter, moreover, do not necessarily redistribute their profits by creating jobs according to the trickle-down theory, but, in fact, they have been accumulating them for decades in their bank accounts until they reach billions of dollars.
What is good for the rich is not necessarily good for workers. It is usually the opposite. It is worth remembering this.
