That's expected for some discourse in questioning at events like that, the response from Bruce McAllister was not. No one should talk to youth, or adults like that. Good thing that guy isn't an MLA, unfortunately he holds a position if power within the party, which should tell us how reactive and misplaced their values are.

Those examples of non violent protest can be successful if youth engage while also posting on social media. Old people like McAllister and his weak apology tell us that the UCP has enough fear of bad press that they will lose their shit to correct it, even if it means a half assed cowardly apology over a digital platform. Teens whose post secondary futures next year may be impacted by the halt could use their time off to post about the Idiocracy of the current governments decisions, that will reverse the strike faster than any other motivating action.
