I posted this in another thread but everyone who is appalled by this behaviour should email representatives from their area:
Hello Stephen,
As a parent of 3 elementary students (Grade 5, 3 and 1) I just wanted to write to you about the CUPE strike and Bill 28.
https://www.ola.org/en/legislative-business/bills/parliament-43/session-1/bill-28
You gladly take over 4x the salary of an average CUPE worker while freezing their raises and paying them an unlivable wage. You want to know a trick to keep kids in school? Pay the workers - especially the ones who are educating the next generation of Canadians.
I challenge you, walk into a public school and talk directly to those who are inside those buildings everyday. A real leader would have no issues doing this simple thing.
In passing Bill 28, you have opened the door to our rights and freedoms as Canadians to be compromised. You obviously have zero respect for our Charter and all it stands for. First it starts with the right to strike but next it will be any of the following: freedom of expression, thought and belief, freedom of religion and conscience, protest rights, freedom of the press, freedom of association, privacy, the right to counsel, habius corpus and a fair trial, the presumption of innocence, equality, life, liberty and the security of the person and freedom from torture.
Now every provincial government and future federal government gets to see how easy it is to revoke these rights in the Charter. What a mockery of our democracy you have made.
My family has been in Canada for over 50 years. My kids are 4th generation Canadians and you are taking away all our rights. Where do you draw the line? Or better yet where do we draw the line…
I stand with CUPE against your unjust anti-Canadian Bill 28, we will remember who stood for and against this Bill and I look forward to the next elections.
Kind regards,
