By Tuesday afternoon, the Canadian Labour Congress countered, coming out out with a series of 16 radio ads supporting the coalition and calling for Canadians to attend rallies to show their support for the proposed new government.
Is this even legal for a 3rd party to advertise like this? To be honest, I don't know. But are we really surprised that a union is backing this deal? Unions that back the NDP. Unions that stand to get lots of tax dollars out of this....

Yes, it is legal. The only restrictions on third party advertising are during the writ period. Why don't you organize a picket of a local union hall, and see if the union members will cross the line.
If I was making 17% more than poor schmucks in private sector, I'd be up in arms protecting the gravy train:
