Maybe they should fly it at half-mast.

True: Brookfield’s 2018 lease deal with Jared Kushner and Qatar's financing involvement. Misleading/Unverified: Carney’s condo in Trump Tower, bailing out the Kushner family, and a direct role in the 2018 deal. Contextual nuance: He wasn’t involved in the original lease deal, and while the HQ move happened under his watch, it was a board-level decision.

Reading the other comments on this - I used to relate to them until I was exposed to the industry for a while and wow.. All I can say is the public has a very different narrative, one that is crafted to create support for the unions, versus the real issues they are trying to resolve.

Without port automation, the infrastructure will continue to be slow, inefficient and dangerous, involving more workers to complete simple movements. This is not how you grow a business but when forced to hire a workforce from an organization with the power to strike, how do you progress when they stick their heads in the sand and release statements like:

ILWU Canada said the recommended terms were not sufficient to protect port workers' jobs "now or into the future."

Let's talk about workplace injuries and lost time, damaged cargo and the resources it costs to continue to operate in the most inefficient way possible while continuing to pay much higher wages than the average labour market. Why don't those stats every show up when a strike is in the news?

Higgs said he hopes he and dissatisfied MLAs "will find paths together" on Policy 713, he also says he expects the solution will not involve compromise, but rather their position bending to fit his.

"I think the public are very much behind what we're doing, and I think that will play a big role in everyone's riding as they speak to members and their constituents and say 'OK well, you know, I may have a different view but I understand I am here to represent my constituents," said Higgs.

"I feel that we're feeling that broad-based support throughout the province and I'm hopeful that will carry over into caucus."

Oh I hope it will "carry over into caucus" with fewer seats at the next election if he continues his delusional crusade to pull NB backwards by a few decades. That seems to be the only language Higgs may understand.
