News: BC's New Criminal Class: Teachers Behind Bars?

 

I often hear about Americans wanting to go, and going to Canada to

avoid going back to, or just avoid going Iraq. The Canadians do have

troops in Afghanistan, but refused to help Bush invade Iraq. After

reading the following article, it appears Canada is on the very same

Agenda, the Bush Administration is on, Corporatism Canada! Read on!

WHY ARE THE TEACHERS 'ILLEGAL'?

BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT AND THE MEDIA ARE CORPORATE.

 

The teacher's are acting illegally because Gordon Campbell has

said they are, and the media reports it as if it's true. But Campbell

doesn't work for the people of BC, he works for the Corporations of BC

... and the Media doesn't work for us, it's Corporate too. So why do we

believe these weasels when they tell us that teachers are on an

illegal strike?

 

This is not a teacher's strike. This is a Corporate attack on

public education being sold to us as a teacher's strike.

 

The Corporations are successfully screwing up our health care

system so it can be privatized. Privatizing public education is also

on their agenda.

 

The provincial budget a few weeks ago included a Corporate tax

break worth $400 to $500 million over the next 3 years.. just about

enough to solve this education crisis. This is how the Corporations

and their Governments and their Media work; buckets full of money are

given to the Corporate wealthy, the rest of us pay the price.

 

Because the teachers have dared to stand up, Corporate power is

being arrayed against them. The Corporate Government makes the

teachers defense of public education 'illegal'. And the corrupt Media

calls the fight for public education an 'illegal strike'.

 

The Media must be joking when they pretend concern about what is

'illegal'.

Why are the teachers called 'illegal' when this same Media allows

the Corporations to commit mass murder without saying a word? .

 

As one small example, the drug Vioxx is believed to have killed

(or murdered) 4000 Canadians over the last few years. It is widely

believed that the Merck Corporation (and federal government

regulators) knew of the dangers and kept them hidden because Vioxx was

a multi-billion dollar a year item. Has the Corporate Media called

that illegal? Have you heard of the 4000 dead Canadians?

 

The Corporate Media and Government allow Corporate mass murder.

Only those who stand against the Corporation are called illegal.

 

The Gordon Campbell government is not democratic, it is Corporate.

It is a joke for a nobody like Gordon Campbell to make thousands of

decent hard-working people 'illegal'.

 

It's up to all of us to call this government and this media what

they are, Corporate shills and liars; thieves who have stolen our

democracy and are stealing our right to a decent education for

Canada's children. Our country is being stolen from us; this is just

one more step along the way, but maybe it's a good time to stop them.
