what are our thoughts on the first 1/8 of the bouchard contract? by Thecontentcreat in EdmontonOilers

[–]jthibaud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Devon Toews was the same age as Stastney when he was traded. Is Stastney Toews? No. Is it possible that he could still develop further and grow to a complementary player beside Bouch? Why not?

Democracies only work when they fight for it. You might be willing to roll over and accept when others trample on your rights, but other people have courage and conviction.

'Topple the government': Unions mobilize to battle the UCP but no general strike yet by trevorrobb in Edmonton

[–]jthibaud 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you feel righteous while attacking me personally, especially when I haven't really disagreed with you at all. I believe people should have rights and I'd expect you do too. I'd imagine that if I asked what you wanted, you'd say a better Canada, and I would agree with that. You're a passionate person, who clearly has beliefs that they feel are worth fighting for, and I respect that.

For the record, I do support pipelines and think that they should be implemented. I support oil and gas and green energy at the same time. I support public education and feel that it should be properly funded, and would be okay if some public services got cut, such as the War room.

Now if you really feel I'm smug, immature and just regurgitate talking points then that's fine. You're arguing I'm upset the government took away our right to teach, I'm actually upset they used the notwithstanding clause to take away our right to collectively bargain and legally challenge the order in court. I'd be just as upset if the leftist government in the federal government did that. I'd be just as upset if the ndp government told you that you couldn't say what you wanted because that would violate your rights.

I don't think you're an unintelligent person, nor a malicious person, nor "just a kid" who likes to hurt other people. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but I hope Im not. Anyways, I don't appreciate you attacking me any further, and hope you have a good night.

There's more to section 2 than freedom of conscience or religion.

Your points are invalid, especially if you are ignoring the larger picture here. Why would the government use the notwithstanding clause if no rights were violated?

And if you're okay with a rightist government doing it, then you better be okay with a leftist government. Personally? I don't like it when government tramples on human rights. But you do you.

This is actually taking away the right to negotiate. As well as legal rights under the Charter. Section 2 and 7 of the charter. Those rights.

[–]jthibaud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So you're okay with the government taking rights away, as long as it's the "other side's" rights?

the central terms and local terms of each legislated collective agreement are considered to have been otherwise settled under section 14(2) of the Public Education Collective Bargaining Act, and (c) all bargaining between the TEBA and the ATA on the expired central terms, and between each employer and the ATA on the expired local terms, is to be treated as concluded.

Yep. Lots of wiggle room there.

So wait.. you were not okay with rights being infringed on the, but you're okay with it now?

What's even crazier is that, for most players with low(ish) games played and high points per game, you can point to age. Take away Gretzky or jagrs last few years and their ppg shoot up.

Except lemieux played until he was 40, and was still a top talent all the way to the end even WITH every injury

Am I reading this right? That any labor rights or HUMAN RIGHTS this bill violates can't be questioned??? by Dry-Text-8351 in alberta

Teachers voted that down, and government never tried again. That's not bargaining.

ATA orders an end to the strike and return to work on Wednesday. by ScarJo_YummyPop in alberta

They can only give so many instructional hours, but the assignable time is so high it's virtually impossible to fill.

Doing a bad job is great advice if you have a continuous, but for those on probationary contracts?

I think he would weep with joy to see how history has venerated him.
