Defintly seems to be alluding to breaking the rail strike, which is a big deal.

I really worry this will result in a conservative government, however the Liberals cant take the NDP support for granted.

I'm hopeful the LPC will maintain confidence through their term with NDP support, in absense of the formal agreement.

Agreed. I'm hoping this is just a shot across the bow.

Strategically, this a move that I think shows to the Canadian labour bloc, that actions like what the Liberal minister did to the rail workers don't go without consequences. Singh can harp on, consoling and hugging union leaders if he wants but rescinding the agreement is one big step above just talk that is within the NDP's power.

for sure.

It definitly has a Catch 22, because I dont want to see a snap election, I think the conservitives have too much a chance of forming a government, and as rough as the Liberals can be, the conservitives would be far worse... but we can't have the NDP just being unwavering support for the Liberals.

I think that the majority of voters will look past what happened to the rail workers. It's not a labour issue many understand or hear about.
