Although parties are in a closer fight for those in the private sector, recent polling suggests that those in public-sector unions are more likely to support Poilievre’s Conservatives, Robertson said.
But Ford has also become a cautionary tale used by labour leaders such as Mark Hancock, the national president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. Richer echoed that sentiment, pointing out that while Poilievre had no qualms about delivering coffee and doughnuts to protesters with last year’s “Freedom Convoy,” he has been absent from the picket line.Singh and other NDP MPs have been quick to point out that the Conservatives may be the Liberals’ only dance partner if they decide to pursue back-to-work legislation.
