It has been a while since my last blog. Many things happened since then. School started. The union called for a strike. I had my first taste of protesting in front of the Provincial legislature. It was then called off at the last minute since a deal was struck. I have to vote to accept the deal tomorrow. It was a very stressful fortnight. http://thechronicleherald.ca/Front/1148436.html

 

The claim to be labour friendly NDP government gave over 341 million to the universities a year before they need to. They also set in the budget more than 80 million to buy back land that no one wants. This mismanagement leads to a big budget deficit. In turn, the NDP then claims there is no money to give a cost of living adjustment even though they gave all the teachers in the province a 2.9% increase. The number just does not add up. The NDP depends on the support of labour unions and public sector unions. I doubt that it will ever get a second term four years from now.

 

Well, at least I am still working this week. It would not be nice if I have to walk the picket.
