Strikes of various sorts

[sabotabby]

I support them and all that, but I do hope the CBC strike ends soon. It's killing my mornings. It's bad enough that I have to get up with a hangover. But I have to listen to this:

Bad pop music
Bad pop music
30 seconds about Gaza
Bad pop music
Weather report for Nunavut
Bad pop music

Ugh.

Speaking of which -- here's a not-so-hypothetical situation. Imagine there's a Canadian factory with a contract to manufacture and sell bullets to the US Army. Those bullets are going to be used to shoot Iraqis. The workers at the factory go on strike; their demands do not mention the war. Do you:

a) Support them in their demands because they're striking workers?
b) Do picket-line support for sure, but make sure to discuss the war with them in some way?
c) Don't touch this situation with a ten-foot pole. You wouldn't do strike support for prison guards, either.

And why?

why is it that bad pop music, which is normally somewhere between annoying and amusing, becomes the soundtrack to your impending death when one is hungover?

I can't really abide pop music at the best of times, particularly Canadian pop music. When hungover, I just feel very violent towards my alarm clock.

I can honestly say I ahve no idea what Canadian pop music is like, as the only Canadian music I really listen to is either out there indie rock (The Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene) or equally out there leftfield techno (Deadbeat, Akufen)

I do, however, wholeheartedly support the retaking of the pop music form by hipster revolutionaries like Annie, Royskopp and Goldfrapp.
