I nominate the College Employer Council representing the leadership of the 24 Ontario Colleges as Scumbag of the Year. OPSEU members are on strike (working to rule) again. The College Employer Council failed to negotiate again and has imposed terms and conditions again, the only employer in Ontario to have done this twice. You can also add the 24 College Presidents who support this strategy to the scumbag list.
Pierre Polivere. He’s the little twit waiting in the wings for the Federal Conservative Leadership… as if being a spokesman for Brylcream wasn’t enough!
Second this!
I second this
Excellent choice!
Excellent choice!
Blaine Higgs
Galen Weston Jr.
Seconded.
Well, I was going to say Stephen Lecce and Doug Ford but they are already lifetine achievers.
Chris Sky for whipping up so much misinformation with his stupid mouth.
Belinda Karahalios (Cambridge MPP) for holding anti-mask, anti-vax rallies, betraying and misrepresenting her constituency with her far-far-right ideals that make the PCs look like the centre.
Her holiday greeting mailout praised Jesus and science for curing her husband’s cancer.
Doug Ford, the handling of long-term care homes, the loss of rent control, the handling of Covid19 as a election tactic rather than a health emergency, his denial in personal days, his denial of pay increase for health staff, his increase to 15$ an hour now that there’s an election when with the increase in inflation it really should be $20 a hour, his handling and care of small businesses during the pandemic yet gives big businesses a la carte treatment. Im Sure there are many more however he truly is scumbag of the year if not the decade.
So true!
Hear!, hear!
Agreed!
Also nominate Doug Ford for bill 124! All I have to say!
Absolutely!
Agree with Doug Ford
Jason Kenny
Pretty obvious. Best summer ever!!!! XD
Oh, hey, wait till January…
I agree!
Premier Scott Moe. The Premiers inaction on the Covid 19 virus put the lives of many Saskatchewanians in danger. His major concern, during the Pandemic, was his corporate donors/ buddies and his rabid ” anti-vax” rural voting base. While out Healthcare professionals are burning out at an alarming rate.
Public scumbag of the Year Tyler Shandro , Alberta minister of health for privatizing support services.
Private scumbag of the year
Public scumbag of the year his dishonourable premier Scott Moe!
Private Scumbag
Jeff Bezos of Amazon
for ongoing anti-union campaigns. Expecting workers to be robots with early Industrial Revolution working conditions.
Public Scumbag
Adriana Lagrange, Alberta Education Minister
for continued promotion of a retrograde, curriculum that sets Public Education back decades.
Jason Nixon, Alberta Environment Minister who treats the Environment as his personal ATV playground and continued promotion of coal mining on Alberta’s Eastern Slopes
-Stephen Lecce
-Chris Sky
-Jeff Bezos
Chrystia Freeland. Smug and condescending.
Doug Ford & Justin Trudeau
Jason Kenny/Scott Moe
I nominate the Board of Laurentian University for cutting programs, lay-off over 100 employees and decide to go too the CCAA instead of asking government for bailout
Justin Trudeau for failing to help Disabled and Poor Canadian Citizens. Before you say it’s not hos jobs let I remind you Canadian Citizens don’t have Provincial International Passport, they have a Canadian Passport.
Public Scumbag: Premier Scott Moe – Covid 19 inaction, helping the oil industry.
Private Scumbag: Michael Rousseau the Chief Executive Officer of Air Canada – For taking public money for bonuses.
Doug Ford is definitely the political scumbag of the year, actually for all of the years he has been premier.
He is not “friends”of the average people and only looks our for himself and his pals.
Absutely agree! Doug ford for the win… if.you want to call ut that
I agree
Agree
I nominate Maxime Bernier for being a white supremacist, transphobic, anti-vaccination, propaganda spreader that’s induced emotional and physical violence towards people who are anti PPC. He is absolutely a piece of horse 💩.
And also Tim Houston for being incompetent and beginning to form a privatized healthcare system for Nova Scotians and just overall not knowing shit about what he’s doing. A real piece of work 🙃
I too nominate Jason Kenney for his perpetual lying and callous disregard for the life of Albertans during “Best Summer Ever” and soon to be “Worst Wave Yet”.
I second this
Whoaa… for starters, Premier Doug Ford for his negligence regarding the LTC sector… worshipping nurses as heros while capping them at 1%. Promising PSWs raises and never delivering. His refusal to acknowledge that he owns the PSW shortage. For being bedfellows with his for-profit cronies who are buying up LTC, making money hand over fist and allowing our seniors to die in solitude
So true
Jason Kenney. Hands down
John Horgan, BC Premier for government sign-off on sending RCMP assault force and dogs
against Wet’suet’en people defending their recognized territory.
Agree, shill for corporate interests
François Legault because of the “super-not-racist” “secularization” bill and for canceling plans for PR.
I nominate Chris Saccoccia also known as Chris Sky as right wing scum bag of the year Private Sector. This narcissistic scum bag has abused his followers and threatened the civility of normal Canadian life. Public Sector award goes to Maxime Bernier for organizing, encouraging and facilitating violent hatred amongst the disenfranchised of the Canadian population. His goons made knocking on doors during the election dangerous and very scary. If you didn’t have that rule about no second nominations for previous parties, I would have included J Kenney and every member of the Conservative Party, federally and provincially especially Alberta.
public sector: Jean boulet, qc Minister of Labour who wrote and tabled the new occupational health and safety law, former labour lawyer for the owning class. Coward. constantly threatened strikers, including and especially meatpackers. now immigration Minister, but still deserves it .
Private sector: Michael Rousseau, air Canada CEO, need i say more
Public – Pierre Polivere and Private – Jeff Bezos
Noah Zatzman
who made it his singular goal to destroy the Green Party of Canada.
The team of John Horgan, Geoff Meggs, Adrian Dix, and Bonnie Henry for their handling of Covid19 in BC after taking credit for their accidental success in the first wave last spring.
Blaine Higgs, premier NB – Irving puppet giving tax breaks to corps, CUPE strike, land acknowledgments banned, taking FNs to court over treaty rights, taking CCLA to court over abortion access, refused federal money for public transit infrastructure, nurses working without contract during pandemic, zero separation of church and state, glycophosphate and rotenone poisoning of land and water, feels like the list is endless for this scumbag.
Irving family, NB – oil kingpins, one of largest private land owners in the world, complete media monopoly in NB, zero financial transparency due to zero public trade in corps, offshore tax havens, own the government (premier Higgs and Trudeau right-hand man Dominic Leblanc), had Chief MOH Dr. Cleary fired for investigating human health impacts of environmentally devastating chemical use, again the list is pretty endless.
Public sector: Blaine Higgs, who as New Brunswick finance minister stopped making employer payments into the provincial public-sector pension plan while continuing to deduct contributions from workers’ paycheques. Then as Premier this year he used the “insolvent” pension plan to try to force concessions and two-tier entitlements on workers, who took a provincial strike against him and won.
Private sector: Michael Rousseau, CEO of Air Canada, who publicly begged the federal government for pandemic subsidies and claimed that without them he had to lay off 90% of Air Canada employees. Then when the subsidies finally did come through, he used them NOT to compensate employees or bring them back to work—-he used them to pay out millions in executive bonuses to fat cats who never missed a paycheque and were “working” from home
Elon Musk. Self-righteous, saviour complex but has no real interest in improving the lives of ppl here on Earth, never invented really anything but acts like he’s Tony Stark, hoarding wealth while trying to appear relatable. Somehow Time’s “Person of the Year”. He needs to be taken down a peg.
Jason Kenney et al.
Jason kenney. Mr. Privatization and the UCP party as they wreak havoc on Democracy and all the safety nets, programs and the environment in Alberta. Private would be Galen Weston who exploited workers around the world.
I recommend the so called leader of Ontario (now in hiding at his comfy cottage)… Doug Ford
Ontario has become a sinking ship with no supplies and no captain or crew .
We need buckets to bail ourselves out and Conservatories have left us nothing but thimbles.
Then blame us for ship going down.
No RATs
No Phizer
Booster app. impossible to get before the end of Feb.
No plan for schools
Isolating seniors again while keeping large events going.
Ontario feels like a alternate reality movie.
He’s all three from the Wizard of Oz..
No brain, no heart, no courage
Vote Doug Ford Out
For private Scumbag I would say Weston Family. They price fixed on bread and have managed to avoid any sort of real consequence for stealing billions from people.
For public scumbag Doug Ford because he is a scumbag.
Brian Pallister for his hack and slash approach to health care and wholly inadequate response to the pandemic which led to dozens of critically ill patients being flown out of province for treatment.
Ezra Levant, for spreading far-right propaganda from his “media outlet” that jeopardizes our democracy, muddying political discourse, and radicalizes far-right extremists.
Public scumbag of the year his dishonourable premier Jason Kenney! And a dishonorable mention to both Sonja Savage and Galen Rowswell
Amazon, Jeff Bezos!
Jason Nixon and Tyler Shandro UCP- Public
Public Jason Kenney, for his constant lies, gaslighting and inability to accept any responsibility for wrong decisions, his continual trying to blame the federal Liberal government for all his missteps, his pandering to his base, his inability to make any right decisions, his lack of Covid management, the list is endless
Private, all of the cheaters who took advantage of Covid relief funds when they didn’t need them.
Jason Kenney for public sector for killing over 3000 Albertans by trying to prove the fake Barrington declaration is real and also for killing almost as many again by shutting down safe consumption sites!
Musk or Bezos for private sectors for being absolute scum bags.
Galen Weston
Blaine Higgs for using COVID 19 online schooling to keep workers locked out. Scum!
Cargill biggest outbreak at a workplace in Canada.
Lynne Beyak – ex-senator. Finally not being paid by the taxpayers of Canada for her propagation of racist denials. Out of the Red Chamber in Jan 2021, she deserves scumbag-for-life.
Galen Weston – price fixer, pandemic profiteer, panama paper icon.
Chris Sky
Political definitely Jason Kenney
Private sector
Hartley Harris friend of Jason Kenney, big supporter of the oil and gas. Recently voted on to the AHS board of directors
1) Public Scum Bag # 1- DOUG FORD for introducing Bill 124, a legislation against all public/health/hospital sector unions including RN’s on front line of covid 19, mass departure and shortage of RN’s, Bill 179 that opens home care services to privatization, handing over more LTC beds to same private LTD companies that were accountable for extremely high death rates, horrendously low staff and incompetent management, for abusing Ontario teachers for the sake of voters, not protecting essential workers, refusing to provide sick pay benefits to essential workers, not managing the pandemic effectively or protecting vulnerable and marginalized groups, ignoring the advice of public health experts/science table all in the favour of economic gains by the rich. He is a menace to society and people of Ontario.
Private ScumBag #1 – BEZOS – for being the worst employer on planet Earth while the pandemic accelerated his wealth beyond reach, for creating a “space tourism” penis-shaped space rocket and rubbing it in the face of every (Amazon) worker. Amazon workers get fired if they have a workplace accident, work under deplorable conditions for marginal pay, are denied appropriate health and safety protections against Covid19 and other unsafe conditions, blocking the organization unions, not closing down Brampton warehouse or filing WSIB claims (5 out of 600 Covid 19 claims only filed). This MF is the Biggest Scumbag on the planet and could have used all of this money to vaccinate poorer countries, but instead choses to spend his wealth spewing carbon and bragging about his moon trips.
Jason Kenney deserves a second win, from attacking healthcare workers and teachers, to cutting funds to AISH recipients, the man deserves a hot poker up his ass.
Gilbert LeDressay, Co-op Refinery Complex
Signed a Memorandum of Agreement with UNIFOR 594 after a 7-month lockout, then immediately violates this agreement by introducing a “minimum staffing policy” to understaff shift complements where no change to the CBA that would allow such a thing to occur has been made.
He also announced job eliminations to positions that were proposed, then removed before signing said deal. What is an agreement anyway?
Lies, lies, and more lies. He is the King of Unfair Labour Practices. “A Co-op Promise is a Broken Promise”. We will forever be in front of the Labour Relations Board in hearings as long as he is still here.
Premier Scott Moe
I nominate Robert “the Hatchet” Haché, President, Laurentian University and chief architect for the dismantling of public education in Ontario.
Setting aside his cartoonishly perfect scum-bag name, Dr. Haché is responsible for the first ever application for the protection of a public institution under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA).
Dr. Haché is responsible for cutting:
*69 academic programs, including of interest to Rank and File, Labour Studies,
*110 academic positions which threatens the viability of this tricultural and bilingual institution.
*41 support staff
*the unilateral termination of Agreements with Laurentian’s three federated universities which has led to further program cuts, notably, Philosophy, Indigenous Studies and Women and Gender Studies) and further academic and non-academic job cuts in access of 50 academic and non-academic staff.
If this wasn’t enough, showing total contempt for public accountability and democratic institutions, Dr. Haché is trying to have a Speaker’s Warrant, issued by the speaker of the Ontario Legislature, squashed by the federal court so Laurentian can avoid producing finacial documents and Board of Govenor minutes that he claims are privileged and therefore beyond the scrunity of the unanimous demand of our elected Members of Provincial Parliament.
I could go on, but this is only phase 1 of thee CCAA. I’m sure there’s more scum-baggery to follow as he drags our vommunity through phase 2.
public: deena hinshaw for pure body count. she’s happily taken all the blame for her and the ucp’s intentional murder of albertans, so i see no reason to deny her the credit she so richly desires. AHS isn’t even going to be providing detailed statistics until after the new year thanks to another one of her science-based, non-ideological decisions that will get people killed in scores.
private: andrew macleod, ceo of postmedia. because postmedia is the fucking worst, and for their let’s hear it for capitalism articles they published nationwide as the earth burns, the pandemic intensifies and people are more down, out and fucked than ever before.
I should’ve noted that postmedia ran these articles at the same time they announced that taking some $35m of government bailout money was now part of their yearly financial strategy because without it their company would go under. That’s capitalism for you.
Bezos for the private sector, for his leaving his employees to starve & to be murdered by proxy during tornadoes (where they were told they’d be FIRED if they ran for emergency shelters by management!), while he had a little holiday to the edge of space in a billionaire’s pissing contest with Musk & Branson.
And as I’m in Alberta, Jason Kenney, the premier of Alberta for the public sector for his utter idiocy & getting every 50/50 decision wrong 100% of the time, leaving tens of thousands of Albertans ill with Covid & thousands dead, because he wanted to go see horsies at the Calgary Stampede, and then didn’t want to tell people to SMARTEN THE HELL UP over covid protocols, as it’s the morons that vote for him that are the least likely to follow said protocols. Like vaccinating, keeping distance & NOT GATHERING IN LARGE CROWDS. Like the Stampede.
I nominate Scott Moe Premier of Saskatchewan he killed a women and left the scene charged $300. Lowest wages, failed all carbon tax projects, hit the vulnerable, made more women poor, refuses to any Covid restrictions, many DUI’s ignores peoples call for help. Corporate welfare while ill, seniors and single mothers live poorly. Never used the millions the feds gave for Covid. He’s arrogant towards people. Mocked people in wheelchairs. Holds the second highest provincial debt. Lies and forces people to be dishonest. Selling out our crowns leaving no money for education, healthcare or roads. Quietly sells our assets and does not tell us he cut for example in healthcare. He kept the Lean program over Covid. He privatized our lab services, Ultrasounds, MRI’s. No one wants to work in his province he treats workers very badly. My coworker committed suicide because no SP mgt would listen to him. Us women were abused out of our jobs. He bought his own community transportation with tax payers money no one else got transportation. Removed STC that left people stranded. Left govt mail to private now tests coming compromised. They refused women PDAP and left them and seniors broke. Took away food services, laundry and pastoral care. Took away protection for animals and cut rehab’er from saving wildlife up north. Cuts to hearing aids, legal aids, funeral expenses. Cut rent when minimum rent is 525, they only give the ill 425, when they already rely on food banks. Hit seniors medications. They have ended more lives and no remorse.
I name more the scum of the year
Jason Kenney- best summer ever
Adrienne Lagrange – for developing the worst curriculum ever
Public: Jason Kenney, and by association, every UCP MLA
Doug Ettinger – CEO Canada Post – refusing to negotiate, despite a year of record numbers, refusing to acknowledge dangerous work practices and overburdened and putting thousands on leave without pay due to vaccination status instead of providing testing kits.
Public – Jason Kenney
Private – Elon Musk
Galen Weston Jr. This billionaire genetic lottery winner co-authored a letter stating that programs like CERB were keeping people from being desperate enough to take a low wage job at one of his shitty grocery stores. And he looks like a smarmy git
Private: François Poirier,
Pres&CEO of TC Energy, owner of Coastal GasLink
Criminal enterprise subsidized by the working class tax dollar dedicated to profit looting in an apocalyptic industry. On whose behalf the RCMP are storming the Wet’su’wetun resistor camps.
Public: BC Premier John Horgan
For using easily bribed federally controlled local First Nation councils as an ‘Indigenous self-determination’ cover for corporate resource plunder and RCMP military violence against native-led and associated civil defiance movements
Doug Ford gets lifetime achievement scumbag for his overturn of democratic process by proceeding to demolish environmental safeguards so he could shower deserving cronies and supporters with MZOs allowing the rape of the environment, and for his stellar haste in starting the Bradford Bypass and 413 before the voters of Ontario have a chance to turf him out or weigh alternatives including carbon neutral mass transit or spending the billions allotted to new highways to re-purchasing the 407 and using it as intended to take the pressure off existing highways.
Every member, MLA, cabinet minister, and leader of the UCP in Alberta. For dragging the province down to a joke in Canada, for supporting companies over Albertans every time, and for the loss of lives from their bone-headed handling of the pandemic.
Charlene Polege, chief human resource officer for Athabasca University has had a stand out year. Fresh of an unsuccessful 2020 effort to carve two thirds of the members out of the faculty association, she has worked even harder in 2021, refusing to table a full opening offer (despite nine-months of bargaining) while also secretly cutting the pay of female nursing professors by $15,000 in a pandemic before pleading incompetence and deciding to give the money back after being public embarrassed. It is hard to imagine a bigger public-sector scumbag in Alberta since Jason Kenney has already won.
Jerry Dias for continuing to divide labour, providing political cover for Doug Ford’s anti-worker agenda and for having the gull to put one of his staffers up to requesting Oshawa name a street after him when he sold Oshawa autoworkers down the river.
Jason Kenny
Maybe we can make an exception so Doug Ford can win again?
The list is too long, but what’s happened to nurses and other health care professionals is just the tip of the iceberg for him.
Public sector scumbag of the year; Doug Ford! He created a bill to cap public sector wages (bill124), then he exempted himself and his cabinet, gave himself a 27% raise, but kept the wage cap on nurses.
HANDS DOWN Doug Ford! His LTC disaster and his unbelievable disgraceful support of nurses and his Bill #124 how this man even sleeps at night?
And Michael Rousseau from Air Canada? How a man can sleep at night taking millions in tax payers money for buyouts and still lays off staff while taking bonuses and continuing to screw customers… real class act.
Public sector – too many to choose just one, but I will nominate the entire provincial Coservative cabinet of Ontario, more specifically Doug Gord and Christien Elliot, for destroying the healthcare system, for destroying the fabric of our society, for putting small businesses out of business, for destroying the future of our youth, for the mental health crisis related to lockdowns, for supporting big business, and for being pigheaded and stubborn!
Private sector….Mike Harris CEO of Chartwell, for profiting while residents of his institutions were dying at alarming rates, for the incompetent deplorable management of infection control in those institutions. Disgusting!!
Maxime Bernier for Public sector scumbag of the year for inflaming the far right and pandering to every negative and inflammatory element of the far right conservative fringe in Canada. Jason Kenney deserves a second year as scumbag of the year but I see in another post that I can’t nominate this most incompetent and deliberately destructive excuse for a premier who has also made the wrong decisions regarding Covid EVERY time a new threat has emerged. So I’m left with Maxime Bernier.
Graham Lloyd, the CEO of the College Employer Council, for his single-minded commitment to transforming Ontario colleges from healthy, equitable public institutions into dystopian hellscapes where every faculty member is a low-wage gig worker, academic programs are replaced by privatized micro-credentials, and students are treated as income-streams rather than human beings.
Most recently, Lloyd has been the CEC’s bulldog in a series of escalating aggressions against CAAT-A, the academic faculty union. True to his roots in “corporate strategy”, he has forsaken his mandate to bargain in good faith, instead wasting months trying to defame, criminalize, obstruct, or otherwise undermine the union’s vision for a more accountable college system. Meanwhile, Lloyd’s public communiques are a rancid cornucopia of management doublespeak.
It takes a truly sadistic mind to reduce the lifelong labor and expertise of devoted public educators to dollar amounts shifting around a vast, impersonal ledger. Yet, that is precisely Graham Lloyd’s M.O. If he and the CEC (and Doug Ford whispering in their ear) get their way, college education in Ontario will be a lifeless, algorithmic slog towards corporate servitude, with few student supports and no academic freedom.
For these reasons (and because on top of everything else I hear he’s a hotheaded jerk in person), I wholeheartedly nominate Graham Lloyd to the highest echelons of the 2021 Scumbag of the Year roster.
Doug Ford !
Doug Ford has treated nurses with so much numbing disrespect in ontario. Bill 124 punishes nurses by not allowing us to bargain a fair wage. we are only allowed 1%. Yet he calls us heroes. we are burnt out because of his policies!!!!
Doug Ford.
Absolutely fucked over our healthcare system. Screwed over and continues to screw over the registered nurses in it. Piece of garbage
I nominate Doug Ford for stabbing every nurse in the back with a smile on his face. No rights to collective bargaining or our vacation all while calling us hero’s. Best yet he cannot understand why nurses are leaving and is asking us to volunteer at vaccination clinics all while paying over $200 an hour to physicians to do the same.
Scum bag politician if the year is Doug Ford. As an RN I am disgusted by his treatment of the nursing profession. Introducing bill 124 and taking our collective rights and wiping his backside with our contracts, asking us to volunteer at vaccination clinics while many of us are working overtime, while Dr’s are paid 220.00 per hour to do what any nurse can do. 1% raise while male dominated professions had a wage increase of much more. That’s because their rights to bargain were not stripped from them.
Public sector- Doug Ford…he has not only disrespected every frontline worker in this pandemic but helped his firends to profit off of it… Nurses are leaving health care in droves because a lack of support for the provincial government. He is using billions of Ontario tax payers money to create an unnecessary highway just to reach his cottage faster. Doug Ford has not has not cared about the health and wellbeing of Ontarians and I hope they remember that come June 2022.
Private sector – Annamaie Paul sunk a Canadian political party single handedly. Not only did she failed to get elected three times in her own riding and raise the party when climate change should have been and easy win…she bankrupted the party with her own greed.
Doug Ford! Biggest scum
Bag for capping nurses wages in this province during a pandemic and then asking them to volunteer to vaccinate when doctors are paid $200 an hour! Pure scum
Doug Ford. We know he already won but Nurses of Ontario feel he is such a scum bag that he’s so stupid he requires double the award.
The non boss award goes to his KKK daughter for her public posts that show how shallow the Ford gene pool is.
Jerry Dias is the national president of Unifor and has sold out his whole membership especially the auto industry to better himself. He is a scumbag and a coward who can’t even face his membership. He has divided the workforce and sided with evil
On behalf of all the nurses in Ontario, I would like to nominate Doug Ford AGAIN for scumbag off the year.
Bill 124 gave us a 1% raise during a global pandemic. Nurses are quitting in droves- all because Doug brought in Bill124.
Doug Ford
In the public sector, Robert Haché and the board of governors at Laurentian University should have locked this one in. Firing scores of professors and staff over a Zoom call, gutting French language programs and the only bilingual midwifery program in Ontario.
Doug Ford – he has ruined the healthcare profession and single handedly cause half of the nursing profession to leave during a global pandemic
ONA – Ontario nurses union is a close second
Private Scumbag is Jeff Bezos. People are dying and peeing in bottles at his warehouses and he should share some of that money.
Public Scumbag has to be Jason Kenney. Best summer ever, shutting down safe consumption sites and iOAT programs in the middle of an overdose crisis, cutting health care funding in a pandemic, pissing off all the doctors and nurses so theyleave our province, breaking COVID 19 restrictions to drink whiskey with his friends and justifying it by saying Jamieson is a budget whiskey, refusing to recognize Truth and Reconciliation day as a stat holiday in AB , etc
I’d nominate Jordan Peterson, for all the bullshit, right-wing propaganda disguised as self-help, and constant grifting.
Justin Trudeau
for far too many insults and injuries to all of us–worst of all his refusal to pay awards to Indigenous children ordered by the Supreme Court.
Doug Ford for stabbing every nurse in the back with a smile on his face! Nurses are leaving and tired!
