It should be clear by now. Talk is cheap.

The BC government is not open for business. The doors are closed and their ears are plugged.

The headlines say it all:

• Parents speak out against Coquitlam district cuts
• Blame Victoria for deficit
• ‘School cuts going too deep’
• Burnaby district needs to carve $3.1 million out of budget
• School districts across BC planning deep cuts to balance budgets
• School districts grapple with budget shortfalls
• Central Okanagan school district faces deep budget cuts
• School District chairwoman feels ‘sick’ about cuts

From angry teachers, to fuming Cupe education workers, boisterous parents, and frustrated school trustees, it is clear it is not working.

Can civil disobedience be far off the horizon? Just saying….

Or are all these headlines just full of talk, emotion, frustration with no real substance or desire to make real change….to make a real difference…to actually act and put it all on the line, in the streets, on the provincial legislature?

HELLO???!!!!!

For what should be a galvanizing issue….it sure is lonely out here all alone….just saying.
