An NDP B.C. - Welcome To France!

I just heard a detailed interview with NDP opposition leader, Carole James. She repeatedly said that Premier Campbell is taking the wrong approach with the BCTF. If she were premier and had ordered the teachers back to work but they had refused to do so then she would immediately sit down with their leader and negotiate. And if the BCTF refused to change their demands?

  1. Either Ms. James would take the same stance as Mr. Campbell, which would make her a complete hypocrite.
  2. Or, more likely, she would cave into the BCTF's demands - whatever those demands happened to be. Guess what would then happen when the other 130 public sector union contracts came up for renewal?

Elect the NDP and watch B.C. turn into another France, a country in which anytime the government wants to make any kind of tiny change there are massive strikes that shut down everything. And in the end, the unions always get what they want! Oh hurray, Ms. James, I just can't wait until your leadership is taking us back to the Have Not status we struggled through during the 90's. Just can't wait.
