Bravo...

See Chip, the thing is that the strike is only "illegal" because the "Liberal" government has designated education as an essential service, basically the only reason they did this is so they could throw the collective bargaining process out the window and do what they want. So all this handwringing about teachers breaking the law is pretty much bullshit. Of course, Gary Mason doesn't mention this in one of the most bizzarre Globe and Mail columns I've ever read. Anyone catch that one?

We're going to see the anti-teacher rhetoric amped up in media of all kinds coming up here. I have a feeling, unfourtunately, that this may turn the tide of public support. I hope people can see through the transparent and specious arguments of these government mouthpieces.

What the teachers are doing is righteous, even if it's "illegal". The judge could have crushed the union and she didn't, why not? Because she recognizes that occasionally bad laws are going to need to be broken in order for change to come about.

Just out of curiosity, anybody break any bad laws lately? *cough cough*
