There is a huge problem with mainstream media articles and reporters in this country. It’s like they don’t know how to look shit up. But as soon as the MacDonald-Laurier institute or some politician or CFIB says something it’s sacrosanct. No pushback, no critical thinking skills

As one example I heard Dan Kelly from CFIB mention: first aid kits are different prov to prov. Makes it hard for national-scope businesses. Small, but real example.
But to have a national standard first aid kit, there are lots of provincial diffs to sort out. Worthwhile, but hard work. Not 'snap'.

Dear Dan Kelly of the CFIB, your members wouldn't be in a tight spot if Canada Post wasn't such a horrible employer. Remember there was NO POSTAL strike in fall 2024 there was a LOCK OUT by the employer (Canada Post) so don't try and pin it on greedy workers! #cdnpoli

My guess is, the CFIB thought this survey would turn out differently (kids today are soft and have no work ethic!) and instead of addressing the survey's actual findings, they're just hitting their old talking points and hoping no one notices.
And to be fair, most politicians probably won't.
