Same Liberals that every single time, given the opportunity to support unions, moved against them? BAD move.
- What move, exactly, is bad?
  I don't see the harm in proactively speaking up for labor and making specific labor-supporting policy requests. Worst case scenario, the Liberals indeed haven't changed and nothing comes of it. But it still cost nothing to ask, and the public display of optimistically framed outreach actually just puts Liberals on the spot and probably generates just a bit of political leverage.
  
  Carney already axed Labour minister position... I think the message is clear. Unions should prop some other party that actually cares for unions. NDP is one of them.
