One of these gentlemen, stalwart of the socialist caucus, peddler of tract-filled magazines, brought me up to speed on the evil conspiracy against the striking postal workers union. This union had sought a resolution in support of their strike, and a condemnation of the Conservative governments back-to-work legislation. One had originally been introduced through the economic committee, but had been withdrawn because an understanding was reached that it would be introduced as an emergency resolution instead. But, when a union activist tried to make an announcement about the strike, she was ruled out of order and her mike cut off! Quelle horreur! This was clearly the result of a nefarious campaign by party moderates to stab the union movement in the back. Careful comrades, NEP men, former aristos, bourgeois sympathizers, foreign agents - enemies of the people are everywhere! Enemies of the people are among us! Clearly this is a plot by infiltrators to steal the party from the union movement! Unless it's a procedural issue related to the fact that emergency resolutions were slotted for day three, when they would get great prominence between speeches by Jack Layton and Stephen Lewis (a well regarded former party leader). I guess it could be that. Could it be that? Yeah, that was it. Still, infiltrators!
