These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-03-06,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of 5 Easy Pieces and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

* Game 7, Round 6 - Canadiana - Organized Labor in Canada
1. In the violent 1914 coal strike in Ludlow, Colorado, a future
Canadian prime minister acted as mediator for the Rockefeller
mining interests. Who was he?
2. In the Quebec asbestos workers' strike in 1949, another future
Canadian prime minster acted as a lawyer for the union.
Who was he?
3. A general strike was called in 1919 in which major Canadian city?
4. In 1981 the leader of the Canadian branch of the United Auto
Workers split it from the American parent to form the Canadian
Auto Workers. Who was he?
5. In 1964 at all three Toronto daily papers, a conflict took place
that the printers' union called a lockout while the papers called
it a strike. It lasted for years. What was the critical issue?
6. In 1937 the United Auto Workers struck General Motors in Oshawa.
Following the experience of a strike in Flint, Michigan, what
was the union's main tactic?
7. 15,000 aviation workers lost their jobs when John Diefenbaker's
federal government canceled which project in 1959?
8. In 1935, in the depths of the Depression, hundreds of men

Ottawa to protest conditions and demand social welfare measures.
What was this action generally called?

Computerized automation of typesetting. 3 for Dan Tilque.
The papers simply took advantage of the new technology to replace
the union members with people who *were not typesetters*, exactly as
they might have liked to do if there hadn't been a strike, and soon
enough it was business as usual. The union finally gave up in 1972,
by which time one of the three papers -- the "Toronto Telegram" --
was no longer around (although not because of the strike).
As I recall -- but cannot confirm from online sources -- much the
same thing happened down the road at the "Hamilton Spectator",
except that in Hamilton it went on for *about 20 years longer*
before the union gave up.

A sit-down strike: the workers occupied the factory.

The Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow fighter. "Arrow" was sufficient.
