Approximately 75% of the work-force in Canada is non-union. Should these workers be free to work anywhere they wish without being forced to join a labour union and pay union dues? In other words, should labour union membership be voluntary? Some facts to consider:- [1] 22 states in the USA now have "right to work" laws [Voluntary Unionism] and the numbers keep growing. [2] Over 50% of corporations wishing to expand or relocate will not consider a state that does not have "right to work" laws. [3] It has been proven that living costs are lower in states with "right to work" laws. [4] Can Canada continue to compete in a global economy with our present labour laws? [5] Are labour unions stiffling our ability to compete with lower productivity levels and labour market rigidity? Is the writing on the wall for Canada?

Same old story The NDP in Ontario virtually destroyed the province. It cost the taxpayers of Ontario $12 billion to educate Bob Rae. Mike Harris comes in to clean up the mess and who becomes the bad guy? -- Mike Harris The same in BC. The NDP ran the debt up from $13 billion to $34 billion over a 10 year period. Gordon Campbell is elected to clean up the mess and guess who becomes the bad guy? You guessed it -- Gordon Campbell!!!!!
