The Royal Canadian Mounted Police:
"Pummelling the Aspirations of the Disenfranchised since 1920"

Congratulations to the Kwantlen Student Association for standing in solidarity with BCGEU members on their campus, and for enduring the verbal and physical abuse of RCMP officers, who were more concerned with pouty motorists than upholding a union's legal right to stop traffic at a picket line to inform the public about the dispute with their employer.

Actually, the Mounties have never been interested in upholding workers (or students) rights: the Winnipeg General Strike, the Regina Riot, the War Measures Act, The APEC Summit at UBC, last year's strike by CUPE BC members on the same campus: pick the picket line or demonstration, and the Mounties have been there to put the proverbial boot to anyone looking to exercise their democratic rights.

KSA has joined a decades-old tradition of activists standing up to the badge bullies, proving once again that in Canada, the law is never neutral.
