Yesterday's ruling at the Supreme Court of Canada regarding Bill 29 almost makes me want to take back my comments about the difficulty working people have finding justice in the courts.
For many HEU members, justice delayed is justice denied. The labour movement believes in making its members whole after a dispute, but I don't know the Caretaker at BC Children's Hospital who's now selling homeless newspapers at Broadway and Main is going to be made whole. After Bill 29, many of the familiar faces at hospitals around Vancouver simply disappeared, which was quite unsettling given that this page heard one or two so upset by their employers' treatment they openly considered not being heard of from anywhere ever again.
However, the crime against reason, compassion and justice that is Gordon Campbell and the BC Liberal party has finally been wounded, and will be made to pay for the lives that Bill 29 destroyed. This page hopes that Campbell is choking on his Martini in regret.
Campbell gave an interview to the HEU newsletter in November of 2000 in which he said "I do not believe in ripping up collective agreements". You lied, Mr. Premier, and the highest court has ruled your lie violates our nation's greatest principles. Resign, you lying, drunk-driving, arrogant, hypocritical sack of shit.
