Summary
In case you needed one more piece of evidence before concluding that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government are highly authoritarian, here comes Labor Minister Seamus O Regan with a borderline fascist labor policy trying to cram down state and trade unionist interests on private businesses by stating that they cannot hire replacement workers during union strikes. Yes, if you are a private business and you had unionized labor, you let a labor union take up your labor needs. They were the ones providing workers and they strike and you are now no longer allowed to hire different workers. And this is effectively the government and unions basically taking over your company. They always win strikes because you are not allowed to replace them so they can stay off work as long as they want and unless you are going to wait them out for six, seven, eight months in which you might go bankrupt before they do, you are pretty much forced to actually bend to their demands.

Just in case you needed one more piece of evidence before concluding that Prime Minister Justin
00:00:04.420
Trudeau and the Liberal government are highly authoritarian, here comes Labor Minister Seamus
00:00:09.420
O'Regan with a borderline fascist labor policy trying to cram down state and trade unionist
00:00:15.880
interests on private businesses by stating that they cannot hire replacement workers
00:00:20.800
during union strikes. Yes, if you are a private business and you had unionized labor, you let a
00:00:27.020
labor union take up your labor needs. They were the ones providing workers and they strike. You are
00:00:33.780
now no longer allowed to hire different workers and this is effectively the government and unions
00:00:39.780
basically taking over your company. They always win strikes because you are not allowed to replace
00:00:45.100
them so they can stay off work as long as they want and unless you're going to wait them out for
00:00:49.900
six, seven, eight months in which you might go bankrupt before they do, you are pretty much
00:00:54.040
forced to actually bend to their demands. Absolutely insane. And when I say this is a borderline
00:00:59.640
fascist policy, I mean that in the literal way, not the pejorative way. Fascism means trade unionism.
00:01:07.340
The Italians called their unions fascio just as the French called their unions syndicates,
00:01:12.800
which is why it's either called trade unionism or syndicalism. And what the government right now
00:01:17.940
is doing is increasing trade union power so that unions have far, far more say over how you run your
00:01:25.220
own company, which is how the fascist Italian economy was organized in the 20s and 30s, that
00:01:31.320
everything was dictated by government officials and trade union representatives to set targets,
00:01:37.040
labor quotas and all these other things for different sectors of the economy in different regions.
00:01:41.860
This is literally how the economy was run. I know fascist is just used as a term that means bad
00:01:46.660
by socialists who mostly agree with a lot of fascist policy. They just don't think that they do.
00:01:51.640
But this is what fascism actually is. It is trade unionism. It is government and trade union combined
00:01:57.480
power in order to get rid of private property and basically operate other people's businesses for
00:02:03.320
them. And if they resist, it just becomes a state corporation. Anyways, I want to read you some of the
00:02:08.840
text here from Seamus O'Regan's announcement that came out last year in November. I just frankly didn't
00:02:14.100
notice it up until now. And I noticed it because other journalists only started to notice what was
00:02:18.660
going on. So here we go. It says the government of Canada believes in free and fair collective
00:02:24.360
bargaining. Who's going to bet that that's basically proven wrong in line two or in the by paragraph two.
00:02:31.180
The use of replacement workers can distract from negotiations. It can prolong disputes and it can
00:02:36.580
damage labor relations for years to come. No, it actually doesn't prolong labor disputes. It actually
00:02:41.360
ends them once a labor union potentially gets too, you know, it gets too unreasonable with its demands
00:02:47.520
that if they are asking for a 30% increase in wages and you can't pay that, well, why should you have
00:02:53.640
to hire that trade union to provide your labor for you? You should be able to hire outside people if
00:02:58.260
you want. That is what a free market is all about. Anyways, to read on, it says today, Minister of
00:03:03.800
Labor, Seamus O'Regan Jr. introduced legislation which proposed to ban the use of replacement workers in
00:03:09.100
federally regulated workplaces during a strike or lockout. The legislation would also make important
00:03:14.280
changes to improving the maintenance of activity processes. Bill C-58 would ban employers from using
00:03:20.240
replacement workers to do the work of unionized employees who are on strike or locked out. An
00:03:25.280
exemption would apply in situations where there are threats to health and safety or threats of serious
00:03:30.600
property and environmental damage that could not be managed by the employer's existing workforce.
00:03:35.380
If a union believes the employer is using replacement workers in capacity beyond this exemption, the
00:03:40.860
resources would be to file a complaint with Canada Industrial Relations Board who would investigate
00:03:45.560
the issue. This is absolutely insane. This is basically just saying in any strike dispute in the private
00:03:52.520
sector, if this passes, the union just wins. The union just wins. They win because you can't actually
00:03:58.340
fight back. You have no ability to walk away from the table and say your terms are unreasonable and I'm going
00:04:04.320
to hire other workers. The whole promise of private sector unions, public sector unions have been a
00:04:09.500
disaster for years. But the whole idea of private sector unions, which have always been better over
00:04:14.060
time, was that it was going to be a small union or maybe even a large union of many workers who,
00:04:20.360
through their skill, would basically collectively bargain so that all four of them would get a good
00:04:24.440
deal from a private company. And a private company could be happy that even though they're paying for
00:04:28.440
higher wages, they get a set of 40 really good workers in the particular trade that the industry
00:04:33.920
is in. That's a fine deal. The union can negotiate and they have a lot of power to negotiate by saying
00:04:40.280
that all 40 of these workers will work for you if you sign this agreement. If not, we will go
00:04:44.080
somewhere else. This is basically saying that if you've ever signed an agreement or if your industry
00:04:48.920
is required to use some unionized labor, you can now never actually win a dispute because you can never
00:04:54.300
hire non-union workers to replace them. That is absolutely nuts. That is basically the government
00:04:59.860
worming their way into private business and then basically just acting like the neutral moderator,
00:05:04.960
just saying, well, we need to get this contract negotiation done. Also, you basically have to say
00:05:10.020
yes. That is the government and trade unions combining their interest in order to cram down on
00:05:15.060
private businesses and run private businesses the way that they want. The government through this could
00:05:19.800
easily increase private sector union wages by incentivizing these strikes and then also come
00:05:26.200
through and through partnerships with trade unions, push any of their other government mandates onto
00:05:30.840
businesses by including that in trade union contract negotiations. This is absolutely insane.
00:05:37.340
This is not actually, this is no longer free market if this passes, if you have unionized labor,
00:05:42.460
this is fascist economics. It is trade unionist economics. Each sector is basically going to be run by the
00:05:49.180
government and trade unions that occupy them. And private business owners pretty much just get to
00:05:53.920
select the color of the product. That's pretty much it. Not like, and this is why I think that
00:05:59.960
previously in previous years, the liberal government has been a big bloated corporate government.
00:06:05.660
It has played to a lot of interests of specific groups. It has, you know, passed a lot of regulations
00:06:11.080
to do so, you know, increase taxes so that they can, you know, redistribute wealth to benefit certain
00:06:16.180
groups that they're looking for votes from and whatnot. But this is just flat out saying that,
00:06:19.960
yeah, you know, if you're a private business owner, you lose. The trade union that you have
00:06:24.480
gotten labor from, they now basically own most of your business in through proxy, through proxy of
00:06:30.080
being your mandated labor provider. They now get to choose whether the factory functions or not,
00:06:36.440
whether your private business functions or not, whether you're in heavy industry or you're in the
00:06:40.580
service industry, your employees can now just shut you down. And if you have any limited amount of
00:06:46.820
non-union labor, well, they're not allowed to exactly fill in those gaps because they're not
00:06:50.740
allowed to be, those union jobs cannot be replaced by even pre-existing non-union labor. So even if you
00:06:56.180
had a manager who wasn't a union labor, it wasn't part of a union, they can't take over that union position
00:07:02.020
because that would be now a replacement worker. Nuts, nuts. This is what actual fascism is.
00:07:09.420
Trade unionism. It's not just general authoritarianism. It's not right-wing, you know, authoritarianism.
00:07:15.740
Fascism is a left-wing ideology. Fascism, national socialism, Soviet-style communism, Maoism, they're all
00:07:23.420
socialist totalitarian ideologies because it is the government taking control over every aspect of
00:07:30.080
your life. That's always the ridiculous thing whenever people claim, you know, the Nazis and
00:07:34.720
Italian fascists, they were far-right capitalists. I'm like, how can you be a capitalist if you
00:07:40.240
literally are a totalitarian who controls all aspects of life? That doesn't make any sense.
00:07:44.980
You're not a totalitarian if you do not control the economy, which the Nazis and fascists fully did
00:07:50.400
in Germany, which national socialists and fascists are still a little bit different from each other.
00:07:55.040
But in Germany, they would set prices for things. You would have to get permission from the
00:07:58.480
government to buy certain quantities of materials to make products. Those products would be price
00:08:03.740
fixed. You had to use a certain set amount of labor to create those products. It was not a
00:08:08.720
capitalist economy. But there's this stupid lie that goes around there that any ideology that
00:08:13.380
obviously makes the left look bad becomes right-wing. So tons of things are just suddenly right-wing
00:08:18.880
because it made socialism look bad. Funnily enough, the nutcases will still claim Soviet-style
00:08:24.180
socialism as a left-wing ideology because they still like that. But they'll still then claim if
00:08:29.380
you actually push them hard enough, well, Stalin was actually secretly right-wing because everything
00:08:33.420
that's not good on the left is now right, even though the right always implies less government
00:08:38.340
control, smaller C kind of conservatism, not literal authoritarian cramdowns on the public or private
00:08:45.240
business. One of the first things the Nazis did when they took over in 1933 when they were elected,
00:08:50.780
you know, because, you know, not all authoritarianism comes through through revolution. Sometimes it
00:08:55.620
literally comes through through elections, although then they banned elections. One of the first things
00:08:59.900
that they did was banned private property. They removed private property as a guaranteed right.
00:09:04.920
Basically, you only were you will only entitled to your property if it was using what being used for
00:09:10.680
the pleasure of the state, which means that you don't own your property because if you were not using
00:09:14.500
it for specific state interests, then you didn't get it. Even in the Soviet Union, you could own
00:09:19.400
certain things. But as soon as it became a commodity that was not benefiting the state,
00:09:23.860
it became the states. Anyways, super annoying. The liberals are absolutely crazy and authoritarian.
00:09:30.800
And I just want to quickly mention I, Wyatt Claypool, am running for the Calgary Signal Hill
00:09:34.840
Conservative Party nomination. If you live in this riding, check out my website in the description below,
00:09:39.620
WyattClaypool.com. I'll just quickly show the riding map on the screen. And then also I have in the
00:09:45.000
description below. Also my legal fund for myself and the National Telegraph. We have this ridiculous
00:09:49.600
defamation suit coming from some rich developer who can't actually prove any defamation, but is just
00:09:54.700
hoping to grind us down through legal costs. Never even submitted any evidence that we defamed him.
00:09:59.460
Our guest writer who mentioned him in an article about Aaron O'Toole, based on the entire section
00:10:04.800
about him off of a Globe and Mail report that was deeply fact-checked and is still up online today
00:10:09.720
because it was good reporting. And we based our entire report, the section about this guy,
00:10:14.800
on that Globe and Mail report and other resources. And somehow we'd get sued even though, one,
00:10:19.620
we're accurate. And two, we weren't even the first people to even make these actual substantive
00:10:24.360
evidence claims. Anyways, that should be it for me today, finally. This video was kind of something
00:10:30.540
that was eventually going to come anyways. I hate the stupid left-wing propaganda point that,
00:10:37.060
well, the National Socialists just put socialism in their title because they were actually trying
00:10:41.340
to trick voters into voting for them. No, no, they were actual socialists. There's a reason why
00:10:46.460
Nazi economic influencers wrote books like Das Endes, Das Kapitalismus. It's because they hate
00:10:52.180
capitalism, because they're anti-Semitic and they believe capitalism and Marxist socialism were Jewish.
00:10:57.500
That's why they came up with their own version of socialism, National Socialism. Don't buy these
00:11:02.600
stupid left-wing lies that fascism and Nazism are right-wing. They aren't. I'm a, I'm on a conservative.
00:11:09.380
I am on the right because I am anti-Nazi and anti-communist. I am anti-state control of the economy,
00:11:15.560
state control of social life, private life, all this stuff. That is what makes me a capitalist
00:11:20.020
conservative. And I think you should be too, and I guarantee most of you are. Anyways, that should be
