International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers respond to NDP coal position: “A deliberate misrepresentation of costs”
It turns out if the NDP wants your job to disappear, they don’t get your support. Imagine that? As in, if they want your house to lose half or more of its value, you to lose your job, and would rather spend money on gas from Alberta or wind and solar, what would you think?

Wait, isn’t this how it was done before?

NDP are dinosaurs stuck in the past.
Don’t they understand that the Shiny New Thing is more electrical generation to expand AI and data centers?
uh no, this is NOT ‘deliberate misrepresentation’. it is an artifact related to iN Deep Pee inability to do maths. they have NO BUSINESS SKILLS. randomly grabbing stats to make it appear they’re on track. no they’re not.
its like telling a grad 9er its time to ‘take the bull by the horns’ and get that communications conglomerate
up and running. no can do. they dont have ‘the right stuff’.
As a former member of the IBEW, it would have been better if you noticed that the NDP didn’t really have your back for decades, despite what union leadership tries to claim.
The only time a socialist has your back is when they send you into combat while a political commissar sights a rifle on your back to make sure you don’t retreat.
The NDP has a troubled history with IBEW 2067 that stretches back into the 1990s. The last time the Saskatchewan NDP were in power they offered the saskpower IBEW union a terrible contract in negotiations. The union members voted for job action – work to rule. The NDP locked the union out and then tried, but failed, to run the power plants with managers. Then the NDP passed legislation to force the IBEW back to work with the terrible contract. The NDP completely lost the support of the union and the community.
The commie part of unions has always been their weakness.
If they understood fiscal prudence they would know that the long game bears fruit for all.
