Memo to Bell employees
Start fighting back now.In a sane country run by a government that cared even remotely in the idea of the public good, the CRTC would quickly put the kibosh on an idea as obscene as the proposed Telus/Bell merger. This is Canada however, and Federal Industry Minister and market ideologue Maxime Bernier never met a huge conglomerate he didn't love. This has all the uncertainty and suspense as the preordained conclusion of the Alberta Oil Revenues review.Seriously, I feel like I'm the guy who already survived a night in the house of horrors, running from an axe murderer who escapes and then sees a whole other group of co-eds deciding to party there despite what happened to all those other kids.No! Don't go in there! The soulless telecom executive will eat your soul and turn your skin into a power tie!Really folks, CEP members, telecom workers - trust me on this.
Alberta Government posts $8 and a half billion dollar surplus, claim poverty ahead of public service contract negotiations
And so, the long tradition of Alberta's Conservative government low-balling revenues by billions of dollars a year continues. The stale tactic of claiming poverty to try to keep from having to share the wealth continues.We have the spectacle of the government underfunding the school boards - they still haven't gotten back the inflationary cut in funding from the last budget - and refusing to get involved in the inevitable clashes between school boards and teachers. Criminal irresponsibility as official government policy.We have starved municipalities forced to play hardball with bus drivers and paramedics - in a job market where employee retention is purely dependent on employee satisfaction.We have a government that fetishized paying off the debt, the debt the same governing Progressive Conservative Party created in the first place, and smugly touting the shell game where they simply exchanged a fiscal debt for an infrastructure debt.
Tory youth abandon the Tories
Holy crap.Dissatisfaction within the party is starting to spill into the public. The entire nine-member executive of the Tories' youth wing recently resigned over Mr. Stelmach's policies. "PC Alberta will continue its slow death march, to the beat of a rural drum and tired, stale policies," outgoing president David McColl wrote in a letter to a Calgary newspaper.The signs of a Tory apocalypse coming continue to mount up as the Alberta Progressive Conservatives are abandoned by their own youth wing.
