The Liberals believe attacking Ford helps their chances of winning seats in Ontario but of all the criticisms Trudeau could make of Ford, accusing him of provoking turmoil in the education sector is just dumb.
Long before Ford became premier, these unions waged war on the Kathleen Wynne/Dalton McGuinty Liberal governments of 2003-2018, the Mike Harris/Ernie Eves Progressive Conservative governments of 1995-2003, and the Bob Rae NDP government of 1990-1995.
Wynne, a staunch Trudeau ally, imposed back-to-work legislation on striking high school teachers in three Ontario school boards in 2015.
They walked off the job because her government wanted to eliminate caps on class sizes, increase non-classroom duties and rein in the provincial deficit by refusing to allocate any new money for salary increases.
