Nah dude unions are terrible. If unions worked Detroit would be one of the most prosperous cities in the world but instead its poverty ridden. Managers need to have the right to fire workers whenever necessary so workers remain efficient. And contrary to belief minimum wage doesn't help the poor/unskilled workers it makes it harder for them to find jobs. 

no, dude he is right, unions have got is here, where we are today.

and where we are is 10%  unemployement, jobs being sent over sea, incompetent teachers, indoctrination zones, known as Univversities, and best of all... Obama.

see, dont you love unions

While Detroit's problems partly stem from overpowerful unions, the gross ineffeciency of Big Three management is just as much to blame. GM seems to have gotten their act together well enough since the bankruptcy and bailout shocked them out of their overconfidence (granted a shock that came 30 years too late, but still).

Damn straight minimum wage doesn't help. It doesn't even keep up with the cost of living.

Sounds like this little tyke is qualified to be president, too.

This was amongst the greatest win ever posted on VGC.

Yeah, I was really just having fun there. To be honest with you, there isn't much going on in Canada lately. The biggest and most interesting news here is that we had a national election only a few months ago, where one of the minor opposition parties (the NDP) which was 3rd/4th runner up for years in the electoral race, became the official opposition after absorbing 58 of 75 seats in the province of Quebec (where I was raised) and crushing the usual reigning party of the province, the Bloc Québécois. After this enormous victory, the leader Jack Layton tragically died of Cancer, leaving many very sad of his death, especially after showing much interest to the people of Quebec who had suddenly grown fond of him.

Other than that, though the Conservative government is majority here, most Canadians are liberal or central. Reason why the liberal party is not elected here is due to a history of corruption and bad politics in their last two mandates. Thankfully that's over and the Liberal party is undergoing rebirth. It's a promising future for politics in Canada all things said. Of course, due to our political positioning (Left to central) most of us are pro-Obama.
