Neither PSAC nor the government will benefit from a prolonged strike
Seven-and-a-half years later, much of the federal public service isThe strike by federal public servants is calamitous for this Liberal government. Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre likes to say that everything is broken. The strike is now Exhibit A.
If Ottawa throws in the towel and meets PSAC’s demands, that could make the bank’s inflation fight harder, delaying any reduction in interest rates. To get the legislation passed, the Liberals would have to look to Mr. Poilievre or to Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet for support. Neither has any reason to offer it. Every day the strike lasts erodes Liberal support in Quebec. And while Mr. Poilievre’s supporters will at some point demand that the workers be forced back, they will also delight in the Liberals’ discomfiture.
