We have already spent the last 10 years trying to undo the damage done by by the dippers during the dark decade. The government union leaders are so far out in left field they make Jack Layton look like a conservative. If teachers want more money they can do like the rest of us. Work more hours either at a regular job or self employment. Oh wait very few teachers have any transferable job skills.
i would like to know exactly how many hours a year teachers put in, not counting after hours coaching etc since this is volunteer time. Then compare it to what the rest of us make for the same hours.
In my view no government employee should not have the right to strike. They are either essential services or redundant.
You have to go back far further than dippers.
It's not really a problem of undoing it's the lack of doing.
Lay off the damn parties. Expo hasn't been paid off and you go and have an Olympics? WTF?
And for Christ sakes get rid of that goddam $60 Billion in debt already even if damn near kills ya
It's what SK did. Bit the bullet and paid off debt, kept the belt tight while investing internally in whatever was rock solid. Financial and insurance lead our economy not oil, potash or other mining not agriculture not forestry.
Oil and mining were always underdeveloped because western infrastructure was underdeveloped and these resources are now feasible. Asia Pacific Bill Gatesway is the best damn thing to hit the West since the CPR.
USE IT!!!
If BC wants to make money, start dumping money into infrastructure so that Whitehorse and Yellowknife have direct access to the Gatesway.
