If this is a private business, people’s right to strike must not ever be infringed. To do so under the pretext of it being an essential service is to admit it should be a crown corporation.

Men in suits can fuck off with their “have their cake and eat it, too” private profit and social loses.

  Capitalist dictatorships, doing capitalist dictatorship things, because they’re capitalist dictatorships.

  Don’t entirely disagree on the essential services angle. With the amount of money the taxpayer provides through bail-outs and special consideration it could almost be a crown-corp. On the other hand, a crown-corp managing an air carrier to traveller expectations is terrifying to me.

    It used to be a crown corporation.

    Canada’s national airline originated from the Canadian federal government’s 1936 creation of Trans-Canada Air Lines (TCA), which began operating its first transcontinental flight routes in 1938. In 1965, TCA was renamed Air Canada following government approval. After the deregulation of the Canadian airline market in the 1980s, the airline was privatized in 1988.
