Placating Ontario’s teachers cost Queen’s Park almost half a billion dollars

1. Bill 115 illegally imposed a contract on teachers that effectively stole $2.4B!! Then, the liberals *placated* teachers by *giving back* $468M. And this is a loss how? If I steal $24 from you, then give back $5, I supposed that *costs* you $5 #conservativelogic #badjournalism

2. Bill 115 was the law of the land, duly passed by parliament, and was never challenged. How could it have been illegal? The $468 million is nothing more than an expensive vote buying scheme (~$4000 / teacher) that was highly successful.

   BTW – in the contract imposed under Bill 115, no salaries or jobs were cut. Not sure how that gives rise to stealing ANYTHING, much less $24 billion

3. When is enough enough and we are we going to have someone/anyone stand up to the teachers and more importantly their union. It is disgraceful that they have the power to hold our children hostage every time they want some part of their benefits package increased – this includes pay, pension, benefits, retirement etc. which are some of the most generous on the planet ! The ruse is “oh but pay me more, let me retire at 55 with fully indexed pension and return as a substitute teacher on the side, reduce my class size and your kids will be better educated” Horsesht. #badjounranlism is absolutely right because those muppets have never called the union out on this whole sham. Stop it ! It’s insulting to the rest of us that cant afford 20K/yr in private school tuition (which I would happily pay if I could to remove myself and child from this disgusting discussion) and are completely powerless when you take your extended “vacation”/strike and I’m left to scramble to find child care
