If anyone in Ottawa isn't busy today at 11:30am, there is a rally at the Civic Hospital against the 400 frontline positions being cut. Of course the positions being eliminated are mainly nurses, PSWs & clerical... you know, the people who keep things running. But hey, lets keep paying hospital CEOs nearly 1mil because you know, CEO.

On April 29th, wear purple and/or red (I’m an education worker, I’ll always push the purple) and show solidarity with the education workers and teachers across the province in their province-wide day of action. Email your MPP (especially blue ones), Doug Ford and Paul Calandra. Demand that they fund public education properly and stop this decent into mediocrity and potential privatization.
The education unions are united this round of bargaining. They’ve been talking so much more this time and I hope that we continue. We are so much stronger together.
