Personally I hate this union corporate-bashing crap more than any Tory attack ad. As for the Star — a paper run by economic illiterates. Except when it comes to their own profits (remember the strike a few years ago — where were their grand ideals then???).
Their subsidiary papers, in the Southern Ontario Metroland group, is on the cusp of strike, too -strike vote set for Wednesday, strike date Friday midnight.
Sorry – typing too fast -the papers ARE on the cusp of strike.
Political implications aside, I thnk you were right originally –
‘the group IS on the cusp of a strike’
Mention it because you’re posts are good, the Kiss Army one had me chuckling for a couple days.
No – I was wrong grammatically – should have been “their subsidiary papers are …” And, thanks. 🙂 I feel a little under-qualified around here.
I feel the complete opposite way as Marc L above. As I said on Twitter just now, I’m not used to the left getting a simple, clear message across in an ad like this, and I think it actually works. Give a few quick concrete examples (record corporate profits, repealing the HRC, trampling on the working class) while playing off the public’s general unease about something (Bay Street bigshots controlling everything; the Mike Harris legacy).
I like it. It’s a good start.
“Trampling on the working class”. That’s funny. If people who use that expression in 2011 could at least define what it means…
Sorry, not the expression itself, but the term “working class”.
Face it,
If the Cons can convince the people they are crushing to take it more and harder and deeper then you have an powerful out there. I don’t know why it gets swallowed but it is. It’s along the same ideas of the CPC. We hate government so give us a majority so we can completely dismantle it!!
I ment a powerful message out there..
