Public Service union puts PM, mayor & premier on trial

Posted By: Siobhan Morris · 9/15/2012 4:26:00 PM

Stephen Haper, Dalton McGuinty, Rob Ford & Tim Hudak were put on trial in Toronto Saturday.

The political leaders weren't actually on the stand in person outside the University Ave. court house, but effigies of them were.

The trials were part of a demonstration by the Public Service Alliance of Canada against cuts to public services.

Sid Ryan, President of the Ontario Federation of Labour acted as a
prosecutor at Toronto's "People's Court".  He accused the paper-head figure of Prime Minister Harper of driving down wages & eliminating jobs with free trade deals.

Similar protests were held in Manitoba, British Columbia, Nova Scotia & Yukon.

    Why Hudak? The poor guy can only WISH he had some sort of influence on decisions that government makes! LOL If the federal government was Liberal or NDP, and Toronto's mayor was left-leaning, Sid Ryan would still find a way to blame conservatives for something. Just goes to show that this "trial" is less about what is actually happening in government / decisions being made, & more about just bitching about the people that you already had a hate-on for in the 1st place......so, in a word: BULLSH*T.

    laughable stuff. It's amazing how these fools burn through the hard earned union dues that are paid to them.
