By Kathryn May in News, Politics | October 1st 2019
In the minds of some federal unions, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer might as well be former prime minister Stephen Harper.
The giant Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) is building its campaign as a 2015 rematch, calling for public servants to vote for anyone but Scheer, who will “pick up where Stephen Harper left off” with a decade of job and spending cuts.
“I don’t want 2006 to 2015 to happen all over again, and I believe Scheer is as bad — if not worse — than Stephen Harper,” PSAC national president Chris Aylward said. “Look at the record. Everything points to being anti-workers and anti-union, for sure. How can any worker in the country vote Conservative?”
Historically, PSAC is the most political and militant of the 17 federal unions with long ties to the NDP. Its partisan stand that Scheer is bad news for public servants and the services they deliver to Canadians ruffles some members who prefer their unions remain non-partisan.
It resonates, however, with some unions’ positions in this election. The Liberals are also sending the same message in ads released in Atlantic Canada this week with Lawrence MacAulay, the Liberal candidate for Cardigan who was agriculture and veterans affairs minister in the Trudeau government, claiming Scheer wants to take Canada back to the Harper years.
