Before the only thing a government has to say, as it legislates away a legal right, is: Can't have that. Can't let overpaid arseholes inconvenience/overcharge/earn more than/fight on behalf of the downtrodden taxpayer... Or before they even remember they have the right to vote to organize their workplace, and act collectively to secure a contract with their employer that has to -- or used to have to -- be respected by law.<br /><br />Beats me where they came from, but Harper seems to have an endless supply of foot soldiers. That's a scary issue, but not nearly as bad as what's happening to the citizens who are watching this takeover.Chrisnoreply@blogger.com
