Game Seven, and the End of the Union?
Here's what we're working on for tonight's show...
Even if you're not a hockey buff, there's a good chance you're talking about Game 7 today. After all, more than half the country watched part of Game 6 between the Canucks and Bruins. And tonight, with the stakes even higher, that number is expected to be even bigger. So what is it about Game 7, that gets so many people - even non-fans - to care? We'll go live to the two cities that will be watching most closely.
And, is it the end of the union? Canada Post abruptly locked out 50,000 workers last night. Plus, more Air Canada worked are walking the picket lines, as baggage handlers say they'll join customer service by striking. But the government isn't having any of it - and is considering legislation to get them both back to work. All this, just months after Wisconsin stripped most public workers of their collective bargaining rights. Is this all a sign that labour unions are losing strength? We're digging into that story.
Keep checking in and we'll keep you updated on how tonight's show is shaping up. Then make sure you tune in for real deal at 8 p.m. ET on CBC NN.
