Well, if you are so concerned about Canadians sudsatnight, wouldn't you stand next to your fellow Canadians in their battle against a Foreign Company? No, instead you will make remarks about a sock puppet. This is why you are still working at the build-a-bear workshop, taking jobs away from High School students, and not out in the real workforce in Canada. Good for you though, you found your life's plateau very young, nothing left to do buy sit back, and waste away. But please, do so a little more quietly, your nonsensical rantings are lowing the I.Q.'s of everyone reading these blogs.

Gee, I thought 6500 members were 'hard working Canadians'!
What kinds of Canadian insults the iconic canadian symbol of Finnegan the Dog!

Well, I guess the same Canadian that slashes the tires (and I am talking about the business in the valley now) of a fellow Canadian right? Or beats on the face of a fellow Canadian Right?

At least I don't make 10 foot puppets and parade them around proudly...it funny you made that puppet big enough to .....well....you know..'fill in' as it were...

Shesh...what childern 6500 are..

Wow that was clever sudsatnight by using the same comment I directed towards you, back to me. Very original, and insightful. Your facts are just wonderful though, speaking about your sock, which I'm sure you get more than one use out of in your moms basement on the computer. I wouldn't be putting that on my hand.

It is interesting though Kratos how you don't actually address the facts....you just through general comments out.

very very much like 6500....
I guess that explains the situation you are in doesn't it.

Now back to the matter at hand:

'retired one': you said ALL 6500 MEMBERS ARE GOOD DECENT PEOPLE.

Well, I lets just analyze something:
According to statscan: 7% of men commit battery against their wives. A study from MMU shows that people in a unionized blue-collar demographic have a 50% more likelihood of committing battery against their spouse than an non-union white collar.
So, that being said it is likely that AT LEAST 10.5% of the USW male members beat their wifes. And lets face it: the USW are hardly members of the country club.

This is statistics my friend. I could say the same about the CAW of course. It applies to the demographic.

However, that is not my point. My point is that you are a brainwashed lemming who has been convinced that the USW is 'proud group of upstanding citizens'. In fact, the only thing that is common is that you work at the same place. You did not hand-pick your brother. He was forced upon you by the very company you hate. You had NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER.

So of course at negotiating time you believe that you are all ‘brudders in arms’: its the cult mentality and brainwashing that is performed on groups of disenfranchised people in an attempt to raise them from their actual position in the social ladder.

Its like the losers in high-school that stick together. They actually don't like each other, but because they are the alienates ones, they make their little group seem like a 'club' in an attempt to elevate themselves. That’s you.

So my ignorant friend....not only is your statement a reflection of your 'mob' mentality and brainwashing after years of suffering subconscious jealously of those who actually did something with their lives, but in reality, the USW is likely he LEAST descent and LEAST hardworking of any demographic.

oh and second_account: Remember your told me what my dead mother should have done...
Well...your wife did it: and it felt grrrrrrrreat!
sudsatnight 3/22/2010 5:35:49 AM - Report Abuse

second_account;

Such anger at such a cute little dog. why such anger?
I suspect most of you unionized people are angry: angry at knowing you need someone else to lead you: angry at the fact your lives have been spent just 'being a work'en man'; anger at never really doing anything except quad purchasing...

Me? I am a happy finnegan. Casey moved on and left me the teahouse and I am responsible for myself..and I CHOOSE who I call my 'bruddders', unlike you union lemmings that have molesters and wife beaters as 'brudders' cause you think a little card and a blue collar job makes you 'brudders'.

Ah second_account, being a cloth-dog is not easy...but at least I am my own dog right?

Again with the union crap! You people who are blaming the union for every crime and act of violence in this city should just go back 12 months or so and look at the news then,,,,,See, was crime then and crime now and gonna be crime in the future. Not evrything in this city has to do with Vale and the Steelworkers union.

I don't support the USW6500 strike, but to say that one of them might be behind this is ridiculous.

It's just some random thug thinking its funny to slash tires down a street. Keyword is 'random'.

Highly doubt its one of the union thug members.

sudsatnight, you're a pathetic joke.
It's rather funny though how you try to portray yourself as being above 'blue collar' workers yet can't put a full sentence together without making a pile of mistakes.
Spelling and grammar are the very basics you fool.
No employer would hire you to do anything of importance and I'm confident none have.

Do you people know how to read??? This article is about slashed tired and it turns into a USW thing. What? they are to blame for this, just like every other crime being made in Sudbury in the past 8 months. Get a life. Have the police and courts proven that it was members?? I don't think so. Stop trying to be the police and judge.Carry on playing cops and robbers.Have fun kids.

Maybe you guys should try a good 'Punch and Judy' puppet show at negotiations.

I mean..clearly the puppet thing is a favorite of the USW..I just think maybe sticking with the classics might be better for you...what do you think?

Either that, or get good old Finnegan out of retirement. Your remember him? Mr. Dress Up? Remember?

You could make an 'angry Finnegan': make him angry at the corporation....grr.....grrrrr....

Oh man...a 10 foot high Finnegan with a USW tee shirt on!

it's funny.
When a professional wants a raise or to improve their situation in life, they market themselves to the present or to a potential employer by demonstrating skills, value and responsibility.

The USW builds a puppet.

Obviously a man with limited intelligence such as yourself 'thewayshegoes' would find humour in a 'puppet' which has a mass amount of meaning. But I guess as the saying goes, "simple things amuse simple minds". Now THAT is the way she goes Rick.

Dear Sudsadnight,

I don't need to use a spell checker for your comments. I just let my 5 year old correct your poorly written misaligned and confused statements. I wish that I cared enough to know who you are but....alas...I don't. Anyone who does know you will surely be dumber just from talking to you. I am sure of it.

Dear Sudsadnight,

I never expressed my opinion regarding the strike. I also did not call anyone "decent people". I was commenting on your lack of intelligence. Please keep writing. You are proving my point for me. I grade your previous 3 comments D- for poor spelling and grammar. I give you an E for effort though just for trying. Keep up the good work and you might get to high school.

Are you equally brainwashed, or just another 2-year grad of highschool...?

Why do uneducated 6500 members think it is so witty to miss spell VALE.

They are like little childern are'nt they. They are like the doe-headed thugs that come up with a new word for someone they are jealous of, and they are so proud of themeselves..so they repeat it over and over..like..little morronic childern.

Tell me retied on..
I know this is beyond your ability to understand
But you say 'the decent people of 6500'

so...you know each person right?
You have the background of each of the 3100 people right?
You interviewed and checked to ensure each was wasnt a child molester, a wife beater, a drunken driver...right? You know each one right?

Your such an idiot. Why do blue collar morrons like you think that just because a person is the member of a union, that they MUST be a hard-working 'lad' with a good background..

Your so brainwashed...it must have been hard going through life being such an idiot eh?

My cousin had her tires slashed and her car keyed several times on Madison Drive last year before the any strike action occurred, she is not a union worker or a vale worker at all. It may have been an ex boyfriend, but the police suspected punks with nothing else to do but reak havoc on innocent community members just for the fun of it. I suspect the same in these cases. Punks trying to cammoflage their actions in the midst of strike hoping to put suspect on steelworkers just for the fun of it. Just Brats, that's all.

You have to remember who the 6500 are..
Remember the guys in highschool who did the 2 year program? or just crawled out of the standard grade 12 by a miracle? They guys who just hung around and had no ambition? They were just 'lumps?'

Well..thats who 6500 is made up of: so of course it's them running around doing this.

I saw some on the 4-corners waving their flags last week. It was so funny: because 4-corners area is not what i would call people 'sympathetic' to their pointless cause: so every third car had someone giving them the finger: including me....

They look like homeless bums and retards..

oh ...wait: they are 6500...thats exactly what they are!
