Now that the federal government has moved to codify the use of section 107 in its latest omnibus bill, the Building Canada Strong Act, which gives the minister the power to use their discretion to end a strike rather than needing to use back-to-work legislation, critics are calling it an attack on the right to strike. “It goes against what the right to strike means in Canada. We have huge concerns about that,” says Siobhán Vipond, executive vice-president of the Canadian Labour Congress.

What the fuck just happened?” Chalmers called his wife, who informed him that, just before 10.30am, the second of the World Trade Center towers had fallen.
