Albertan minister, a Chamber of Commerce guy and a CN rail official. No union representation. This is a bit shameful from the CBC. At least the interviewer did ask a few questions on behalf of labor.

This has been par for the course for a while now, unfortunately. The CBC's most used lens is "How does this inconvenience the average Canadian?", followed by "How much does this impact shareholders?"

Workers are the average Canadian. I wish we’d get that perspective more

But these workers are not. These workers are fighting for their rights, and that's going to inconvenience everybody else. So, they're going to highlight that inconvenience, rather than the underlying cause.

Too many of us have gotten convinced that we're something else.
