Ontario teachers want to go on strike after failed negotiations. They are not being paid enough to have any semblance of decent life. Provincial Government could declare them essential service. This will put teachers back to work and force an arbitration which would normally give them some decent deal.

Instead our Ford threatens Notwithstanding Clause - this unique Canadian abomination of basic rights. Which is basically - fuck you and fuck you rights, we will do as we please. All after voting huge salary increase for our "servants".

This whole Notwithstanding clause and politicians like Ford make a mockery of basic human rights. It just does not belong to a democratic societies.

Ford go drink your beer with Xi.
