Just as I was pulling into the driveway today, I heard a BC Government advertisment that denounced the teachers' bargaining stance and urged listeners to side with them instead.
Since when is it the government's job to advertise to and try to persuade the general public over a bargaining situation? Why are my own tax dollars being spent to try and persuade me on something my union dues are already trying to fight? Moreover, why are uninvolved tax payers also funding advertising on something that they have no say or impact on?
The bargaining situation is coming down to the wire. Neither the general public nor I will have any impact or say on what happens over the next three days. So why is the government wasting money trying to say otherwise?
Two words: public relations. And I think it stinks.
