Speaking for myself, I am not an NDP supporter, either. I think that most, if not all, of the parties in all jurisdictions have their agenda and simply reducing it down to blindly supporting one party or another is just an excuse not to think for yourself. Furthermore, I think that anyone with a just grievance has the right not to work. Equating the impact of a strike by teachers to one by police is a bit silly, but that is just the sort of thing the Hoardin'-Gordons of BC are trying to do.

For what it's worth, I have spoken to over a dozen teachers about this and they are all firmly behind the strike. I would bet that those who chose not to vote did so largely because they justifiably felt uneasy about the amount of support they would get. Not voting for something is NOT the same as voting against it. Let's not let them down, now that they are standing firm.

It comes down to this government feeling that they can do what they want and get away with it. We can't wait for an election to set them straight. If they get away with this one, they will just move on the the next target, in their agenda of securing their right to hoard and control.

I wonder if Gord went to public or private school....
