But there will be no film at eleven! It’s not the Conservative Party!
I mentioned earlier how Barbara Kay’s latest column was getting more attention than usual. Well Michael Coren’s (guest) column, “Why CUPE’s boycott is shameful”, is also getting lots.
Jo-Anne pointed out in her comment an article this morning in the Vancouver Sun, which I found buried on page A-12, and which used less words than you’d find on a Coke bottle cap. If it were about the Conservative Party, then naturally it would have been on page A-1 above the fold, continued on page A-3 through 5, with photos of glum-looking Conservatives, because it would speak to a massive and unfixable divide in Conservative Party thinking, which is as we know only allowed in leftist circles, because those leftist parties are of course “so open to new ideas” unlike the right.
CUPE’s Israel boycott angers some members
National Post
Published: Thursday, June 15, 2006TORONTO—Members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees angry about their Ontario wing’s boycott of Israel are taking their case to the streets and to the courtroom. As many as 200 members of four Toronto CUPE locals plan to hold an information picket outside CUPE Ontario’s Scarborough offices at noon Friday.
“It’s basically countering anything that (CUPE Ontario president) Sid Ryan has said that Israel has done or not done,” said Lil Nobel, president of CUPE local 2063, which represents about 80 workers.
“It’s about the truisms of what Israel is and why it shouldn’t be boycotted.”
Meanwhile, a University of Toronto teaching assistant is spearheading a lawsuit against CUPE Ontario he hopes will force the courts to clarify how much money a union can spend on causes he says are “manifestly irrelevant” to its members’ interests.
In CUPE’s case, it’s merely trivial disgruntled (“angry”!) union members (“as many as 200”—but not more—we’re sure!) who are obviously off-message. If it were the Conservative Party, we would once again be treated to a story of the impending doom of the Conservative Party and the entire conservative movement in Canada for 50 years.

union is huge possibly precedent-setting news, as I see it, but it is, as you can see, given massive attention by the liberal-left media.
