Well, if you read the comments to the article, it seems most Canadians are unhappy with the govt's handling of the situation.
Well, if you read just who is making those comments in that British ultra-leftwing rag it would be quite apparent that not one of them were
Canadian.
As well, this Economist writer in his/her obvious disdain for the 'Conservative' Prime Minister of Canada is either ignorant of the fact or chose to omit the fact that the Federal Government (not Stephen Harper) legislated back-to-work rules to both Air Canada and -- the government owned Canada Post
office. Also, perhaps this leftwinger should have checked on the amount of the loan to the Feds
Air Canada now owes before blithely spewing his/her misleading information? Of course that is just too much to expect from the usual attitudes Canadians have been subjected to by their so-called across the pond 'superiors'.
And, at least our Feds are busily re-building our armed forces after Afghanistan unlike the labor-lite
Cameron Coalition which is busily firing thousands of their armed forces, sinking carriers, et al. and this Econo. writer writes a sneering piece on Canada's
Defence Minister and armed forces.
Pffffft.
