Nah, just everyday people sick of profits getting privatized and losses (e.g., Air Canada bailout in 2021) being socialized. Our social systems aren’t as broken as many in the UK and US but they can be if we let corporate lobbying continue to steal from this country and its people. I think you’ve got some reading to do
I’m no fan of the public sector unions (especially PSAC), but bailing corporations out only for them to cost the economy millions of dollars per day due to necessary job action ain’t it, either. A lot of these employers have let their collective agreements expire, sometimes years ago, because they know they can get the government to force their employees back to work.
If they’re that important to the economy and they’ve proven they can’t handle the intricacies of doing business without a government handout to keep them profitable (check and check), they should be nationalized. Pie in the sky for a second: maybe the revenue from a nationalized Air Canada would mean lower federal taxes or something.

Not to be confused with the air canada bail out of 2009. Or 2004.

If we don’t try, this will just happen again.
