If you're a business owner in a Blue Collar profession, you're not working class. You're a capitalist.
If you're working for a wage in a white collar industry, you are working class. Wage earners are working class. Owners are capitalists. #TruckersForFreedom2022
Also add, there will always be class conflict between owners and workers. No matter how small your business. We are not the same.
I.e. the capitalist's interests to pay the least for the most labour is always in conflict with the worker's interests to be paid more for less work.
Not a single trucker who owns their truck / company, no matter how small or modest the profit, is a member of the working class.
So no, I do not consider this a "working class" movement. This is a petty capitalist movement.
Update: Some examples of the so called, "working class Joes".
This is a heinous lie I continue seeing #LiberalTwitter tell, as some argument about #NDP obstructing the LPC, as an excuse for this election, let's unpack it.
No, the NDP did not, "vote against the disabled". They initially refused to support the Covid-19 spending bill in June, which contained a $600 payment for disabled Canadians. And for good reason.
The Liberals wanted to fine/jail CERB recipients! (2/9)
Which was pretty unfair, and necessary to stop, because LIBERAL MPs like Wayne Easter and Adam Vaughan who told people to apply for CERB whether they knew they qualified or not! Can we say, entrapment? I'm no lawyer but, unfair to say the least. (3/9)
As someone who opposes Islamophobia, why should I vote strategically for a party that drafted a dog-whistle bill around it or that voted for it, over the NDP who didn't?
As someone who supports labour organizing, why would I vote strategically for a party who doesn't want to strengthen labour laws to support workers during strikes and lockouts, when the NDP does?
As someone who wants trade deals that are good for Canada and Canadian workers and don't contain harmful ISDs and respect our sovereignty, why would I vote strategically for any party who undermines that? #trade#cdnecon#Elxn2021
First, the Hoskin's report that Liberals commissioned, says that there should be a Bill for Pharmacare passed BY January 2022. Bills pass 3 readings in the HoC before going to the Senate, they tabled NOTHING! (1/9)
Also, in the 2019 election, Liberals promised us Pharmacare and incumbent MP Patty Hajdu, just 3 MONTHS later, began walking back this promise in the media. (2/9)
