It was AFTER Confederation, took 10 years of stop-and-start planning first, and the 1881-1885 construction phase went HALFWAY across Canada—just Ontario to B.C.—without labour standards or consideration of Indigenous people. This mythologizing of the CPR is in itself a mark of unseriousness.

When someone causes damage and claims it is "for your own good," it is most accurately called toxic justification or abusive rationalization. People use this tactic to avoid guilt and control others.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

1, No concessions leading up to negotiations. Only concede to gain in the deal.

(Harder sell). #cdnpoli 3, Use leverage like oil
