I agree with Dianne McCollum’s viewpoint in the Sept. 29Western Producerletters.
The reality of the Conservative government is they act on ideology only. They are transferring income to business from farmers. They are trampling people’s rights in the name of economic well-being.
I watch as they legislate postal workers back to work. It’s a crown corporation, so we think that’s OK.
Next they do it to airline employees. Private sector, but it’s done to keep our fragile economy moving. There may be some truth in it. But we are largely silent. More rights being violated.
This issue deserves more debate than it’s getting. This country’s democracy is being usurped and we say it’s done in the name of freedom.
They didn’t run an election on this issue. Maybe the Occupy Wall Street protesters are onto something.
Let the debate begin.
