This article uses the context of the 2018 provincial election victory of Doug Ford's Progressive Conservative government in Ontario, Canada, to understand the potential appeal of right populist ideas among some workers in Northern Ontario. The article is based on analyses of in-depth interviews with nickel miners at Vale Ltd, members of the United Steelworkers (USW) Local 6500, in Sudbury. The political context of these interviews is particularly relevant because of the USW's historical political alliance with the New Democratic Party (NDP), Canada's labor-based party. Some workers utilize the populist, and at times nativist, political messaging of Ford and his government to critique their Brazilian-based employer's attacks on the union. Additionally, Ford's anti-union rhetoric resonates with workers' frustration over uneven recent collective agreement concessions. Although the link between the union and Party helped secure the NDP legislative seats in Northern Ontario, the inability of the union to arrest Vale's attacks leaves workers open to the appeal of right-wing populist ideas.

安大略省萨德伯里的右翼民粹主义、有组织的劳工和白人工人：2018 年安大略省选举的警示故事

本文以 2018 年加拿大安大略省道格·福特（Doug Ford）的进步保守党政府在省级选举中获胜的背景，来了解右翼民粹主义思想在安大略省北部一些工人中的潜在吸引力。本文基于对萨德伯里联合钢铁工人 (USW) Local 6500 成员淡水河谷公司镍矿工的深入访谈分析。由于 USW 与加拿大劳工党新民主党 (NDP) 的历史政治联盟，这些采访的政治背景尤为重要。一些工人利用福特及其政府的民粹主义，有时甚至是本土主义的政治信息来批评他们的巴西雇主对工会的攻击。此外，福特的反工会言论引起了工人的共鸣 对近期集体协议让步不均衡感到沮丧。尽管工会和党之间的联系帮助确保了新民主党在安大略省北部的立法席位，但工会无法阻止淡水河谷的袭击，这让工人对右翼民粹主义思想的吸引力持开放态度。
