Dippers go after everyone
So let's name every industry our new orange overlords have gone after so far.
1. Oil & Gas and I believe they haven't even warmed up on them yet.
2. Coal
3. Booze
4. Tobacco
5. Insurance
6. Farmers
Nice to see our province being destroyed so quickly, no point peeling the bandaid off slowly.

They have to suck hard and fast to acquire as much revenue as possible before it all leaves the province.

So see? They'll like everyone eventually -- once they've made us all poor!

But they are going after the poor, we have our own poor, and they want more imported to much off the meager existence of the ones we already have. Equal misery what a wonderful concept.

Maybe this is what the NDP meant when they told us that we deserved, "Our Fair Share"?

Anybody ever ask themselves, just exactly is the "Middle Class" ? Lot of latitude there.

That's true, in fact the opposite is true, the big unions are pushing into agriculture and the province and most on here are more than happy to oblige them.

Why are you talking out of your ass? Who are these "big" unions? So much U ion hate, everything you have at work is because of Unions. In all non Union states the wages are lower and job site deaths are higher. I guess that is what people want here because they think they are immune to the negative changes. What a. Joke.

Yup, that's why my equipment costs so much, parts are extremely expensive, labor rates are sky high, resulting in my take home being lower. Your welcome.
And now they want to stuff WCB up my butt so more Union "friends" can show up on my doorstep and tell me I'm not safe enough.

It's not a question of making 80-100. It's how much you get to keep after the government's share

I am not suggesting that they be the first to go, but if the province needs to cut costs, because of our current economic situation, then we should all do our part.
However since these two unionized groups in particular, were huge supporters of the NDP, they will likely be left alone and the rest of us will carry the burden.

One of the many problems with a bloated government is that they can essentially self elect themselves. And so it grows. It's not in the NDP's interests to shrink government...there goes their base. And it's not in the government employees interests to vote them out.
Nothing against teachers or nurses. Nature of the beast.
Government needs to be much, much smaller than it currently is or the problem is only going to get worse. (which is to say, the government won't get smaller and the problem will get worse)

Apparently you don't know much
Government decides to roll back front line service wages they do and the AUPE is gutless to stop them.
Once they take its harder to get it back
