sabotabbyI 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?
