What happens when provinces choose differently?
Bill 124 wage caps (ON). Bill 28 used notwithstanding to ban strikes (repealed after backlash). Anti-union rhetoric.
Bill 124 ruled unconstitutional. Bill 28 repealed in days after general strike threat. Worker morale damaged.
Respected collective bargaining. Negotiated fair contracts with healthcare and education workers.
Stable labour relations. Workers retained. No unconstitutional legislation required.
