Honestly, it seems the unavoidable outcome.

The NDP are heavily supported by Unions and Public Sector workers and obviously their corresponding Unions.

But you cant raise taxes on the private sector, see 100,000 private sector jobs lost while the highest paid public sector in the country skips along without missing a beat based on the Government's unwavering willingness to spend money they dont have.

Especially if you dont have the confidence that that same Government has a snowball's chance in hell at getting re-elected so that they can continue to provide that unwavering security to the public sector.

I keep saying that we need to find a balance between private and public but unfortunately it is naive to think that when one half of our economy is currently bearing 100% of the burden one can not expect to not have an equal and corresponding correction to the other side of the economy eventually.

And that puts the public and private sectors at war. And thats terrible. For all of us. But its going to happen.

You cant take a huge chunk out of one and not expect that the other is going to need to take an equal cut eventually as well. And then hopefully someone can come in and try and maintain some balance.
