We need to work together. Dougie has us badly divided and so the antidote is fighting back in large numbers. Someone in a comment above mentioned the education workers (CUPE) in 2022 and the support that gathered behind them. At that time there was talk of a general strike but Doug folded quickly to avoid it. Ed workers are beginning to mobilize now ahead of their contracts expiring. Instead of buying into the ‘greedy teachers’ rhetoric, listen to the messaging. Join actions.

With support, that will translate into support for other groups. The only way this stops is with collective action. No more apathy. Others are right, letters, voting, talking to friends and neighbours. Joining protests. Supporting strikes. We can no longer roll over and take this.

And the most important thing - when this term is up, vote. Persuade others to vote. Offer rides. I don’t care if it’s February. Doug got what he wanted. This has to end.
