Dear Editor:
Thursday night, Bill 22 passed and it will soon become law. The B.C. Liberals have ordered teachers to end legal job action.
Teachers will be forced through a "mediated" process leading to a predetermined end that is a gutted contract. It has been a sad couple of nights in my house.
I wondered what dinner table talk was like for B.C. Liberals. Does Christy's family ask, "Mum, how come you can do things that are illegal but no one else in B.C. can?"
Do George's kids ask, "Dad, someone said learning conditions are way worse in B.C.'s public schools than in our private schools? I guess they deserve it, eh?"
How do our government representatives respond to their families? Moreover, how do the B.C. Liberals sleep at night?
