The courts ruled that the CAW remove the blockade at Oshawa's GM headquarters by 7am Monday June 16/08. GM has a $1.5 million law suit against CAW because of the blockade. CAW has responded with other types of retaliation to GM by not following through on an agreement signed earlier. The CAW charges that job security was violated by GM that had agreed to the contract. 1500 union members for several different unions marched in protest on Park Rd. in Oshawa. Park Rd. is where the car and truck plants are located.

It appears that the people who elected the liberal ruling class are getting just what they want. A government who will give them a secure job paid for by the industries who build products that don't sell or by higher taxes that those who do work can no longer afford. Didn't the USSR fail for that very reason? Government subsidies don't work either for industry nor for those people who have nothing worthwhile to offer to the work force or society.

It is time for some new elections in Canada and throw the bums out.

The free money for life people exist in the states, where people want someone else to pay for all their needs. While it sounds good, someone still needs to pay for it, usually higher taxes. :roll: Obama?:scared:

So, out of curiousity.....what was the explained basis for the ruling? On the surface, the court appears to have the power and right.

And please don't give the "union" explanation OR the "GM" explanation. What did the court say???

GM's filing of $1.5million on the CAW has not been opened as GM has not decided whether to go ahead with it yet. Still up in the air. I think there is a time limit if GM does follow through.

Indeed and they just elected the same here. Only this guy has zero executive experience or record running even a small town or neighbor hood store. His claim to fame was suing banks to make sub prime loans to those who could not afford to pay them back representing an organization called ACORN. But, hey, he has a great "smile" and can "read well" and as his VP said..."He's clean". Amazing...... The US of us are getting what we deserve as well. The CAW or the UAW are in no position to make demands on GM. :lol: :lol:

and just as bad as his Governor and in the minority as most of us think we will have a great President. The current party in power has just about sunk this great country so how could he do any worse? It's going to be a long up hill battle to undo what the Bush idiots have done to us but he is chosing some great people. Hopefully they won't be oil people and I also hope they investigate those banks that knownly gave out all those bad loans and then sold them off as that was fraud if I have ever seen it.

DO you even realize WHEN and WHO made banks offer sub prime loans? 1997 Bill Clinton. Do you realize You President elect sued banks on behalf of ACORN to FORCE banks to make loans they did not wat to make to the "unfortunate"?

The people he is choosing are BUSH II!!

Hillary Clinton- VOTED FOR the war.
Robert Gates - BUSHES DEFENSE SECRETARY!! LOL
The rest are Bill CLinton administration hand me downs....

Its no wonder Obama got elected. People elected him based on the News. Not the facts. Certainly not his record (what record of executive experience does he have?

Name one President in the last 100 years that had less experience than Obama.........Thought so. He is over his head and he never expected to get elected this time around. His cabinetry choice reflect that. Get Bill's guys.

The same people that were in office when 9-11 was planned on our own soil and carried out with box cutters!!! After this country was attacked THREE times by AL QAEDA and nary a shot was fired back. Embassy bombing, USS Cole and the FIRST World Trade Center bombing.....Clinton and his cabinet were taking credit for the tech bubble and the short lived surpluses it created.

He created a way through deregulation for banks to make loans without the usual 20% down that has always been a rule when buying a home. But i20% down kept too many of the "unfortunate " out of the home market so he forces banks with the help of Barney Frank to "encourage" banks to lend money government insuring the loans to those who were not qualified to pay it back creating a run on homes and skyrocketing prices (which I benefited and ultimately retired on selling my way overvalued homes in Las Vegas, one to a single mom who took a 100% variable loan, Another to a "speculator for 3X what I paid. Thank you Bill and Government Ginny and Fanny...


Mc Cain sounded the Alarm regarding Freddie and Fannie in 2003 BARNEY FRANK said "not to worry, everything is fine besides the government won't have to bail them out" YEP .

The US Taxpayer via Carter gave $300 million to the ailing Steel industry in the 70's when they were crying and then they folded two months later. All they did was bail out the Unions....Just like whats happening now. Everyone wants a bailout, homeowners who signed contracts they did not read......Car buyers....on and on. Enough is enough.
