Dear David:

While I agree with StopTheCuts.Ca in principle, i can understand what a stressful situation you & Edward Michael have been in with the lower tax revenues: in particular from oil & gas resources. That being said, Edward Michael had no business saying the teachers were hijacking things & being unreasonable on wages. In affect, he knifed you in the back. Especially when you consider it was you & he who negotiated the current contract together with administrators that doesn't even expire until August XXXIst, MMXIII. Teachers gave up many concessions to get that pension liability paid off. Plus, it was the premier who reached out with the negotiation to pay it off. So he shouldn't be bitching when revenues fall.

Its Hypocritical,

Rory
