Workers First

An interesting bill is being put forward in the House of Commons, to little fanfare from the press.

The lack of notice is surprising, too, since most press agencies, daily papers, television channels, etc are multimedia conglomerates, owned by large commercial entities and maintaining a great distance from the journalist image of yesteryear.

Jack Layton and his rouge band of middle class lefties are pushing a bill through parliament that would mean greater protection of the working class in this country. Bill C-281 would "move workers to the front of the creditor line in a bankruptcy" thus squeezing out taxes, lenders and suppliers in the shuffle for compensation when a big corporation tanks.

And tank they will. WorldCom, anyone?

The "Workers First Bill" is on parliaments agenda now and it seems important that you, each and every one of you, if you do support this bill, contact you MP via fax/phone/email and let them know that this is (if in fact it is - and it should be) an important issue to you.

Urge your MP to vote for the Workers First Bill!
