Yesterday, Poilievre was posting about how the Canadian Pacific Railway might not even be able to be built today.
Um, there’s a pretty good reason for that: the abuse and deaths of Chinese workers who built the railroad.

Residential schools, Chinese head tax and railroad slavery/ deaths should be enough to keep an educated politician from this kind of fawning.

Paying workers fair wages and treating them like human beings really gums up the capitalist machine.
Translation of what Poilièvre said: “The Canadian Pacific Railway might not even be able to be built today because of woke radical leftist policies like the “weekend” & “worker safety” which make such ventures unprofitable” (i.e. barons don’t sufficiently line their pockets)
