It reads "Anti-Canadian-Worker." They hate sawmill workers like me who seek only a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. They hate Canada and everything (it once) stands for.<br /><br />Nobody in Canada needs to look overseas if they are looking for an enemy to fight. They are right here and they are not hard to find and they do more damage to our country and my class in a day than all the rest of our enemies put together do in a hundred years.Mr. Beer N.

There are lots of tales of collusion circulating about how timber bosses get together under cover to ensure that booms don't get bids from mills so that they can then be exported. The whole issue is utterly corrupt and the sheeple don't get it, so it just continues on. Honest work is degraded and scorned rather than rewarded and the idea that we might benefit from shared resources is seen as anathema. Keep after 'em, Beer.Danneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129916194006552602noreply@blogger.com
