Watched the news last night and saw the story on the guy with a gun in Edmonton who got every one's attention at the Workers Compensation Board (WCB).
Having had my own minor but 'negative' experience with WCB some years back, I can relate to peoples frustration and anger, as reported on in the interviewing of 'victims' of this board. Details of this board's pro business stance is typical of the right wing philosophy perpetrated by conservatives, in their push to victimize ordinary working people at the bequest of their business and corporate friends. Conservatives are nothing more than goons for the corporate elite and the WCB's are their Nazi Headquarters, it would seem.
Also in the news last night, pension security in the case of bankruptcy (Nortel) is a federal responsibility, and it, along with real laws (not the ones being proposed i.e. slap on the wrist penalties) to fight and counter white collar crime, aid and abet corporations while screwing the little guy, are two more examples of conservatives dragging their feet when it comes to dealing with injustices and getting tough on (crime) their friends.
When are 'working people' going to wake up to the fact conservatives are 'not' your friends. Every other party is... but not the conservatives.
In a civilized society, there is a basic duty to protect the vulnerable. Exploitation is violating this duty.

Over the years there have been quite a few "incidents" involving violence with the WCB including a suicide where a man set himself on fire in the parking lot of their building. It's revolting & something needs to be done so that the needs of the people who desperately need help get it instead of being tossed out on their butts.
Yes, the Cons are not our friends & this particular group of them under Harper's iron grip are the worst.
If the libs were in power this would not have happened????????????
To blame everything that is wrong in our country and province on the conservatives makes you look foolish.
Good to hear from you again penlan. As usual, you are right on the money. Thanks for your comment!

Read my post again, and then read penlan's comment. The proof is in the pudding.
btw/ I am not trying to blame 'everything' on the conservatives but if the shoe fits, well...
