On Saturday, September 15, stand with us for public services.
It’s time to tell Harper that our work is important to Canadians. Public services are important to their health, to their safety, to their opportunities and to their well-being. We’re proud of the work we do, and we’re ready to stand up for quality public services!
Harper isn’t being honest with Canadians, so it’s time we tell our friends, families and neighbours what’s really going on.
We have to talk about how the Harper is taking risks with the lives of Canadians. When the prime minister cuts lifeguards, fire safety officers and water quality inspectors, he’s gambling with our lives.
We have to talk about the impact on local economies. When this government cuts the tourism season for our National Parks, they threaten the livelihood of the bed and breakfast, the souvenir shop and the corner diner.
Let’s talk about the impact of the cuts at Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada. Our country’s aboriginal communities can’t afford to be neglected anymore by their government.
Let’s talk about how the cuts at Library and Archives and several national historic sites and museums are robbing us of our history – of our heritage. These are national treasures that make history come alive; they ought to be maintained for future generations.
There are countless other examples. On Saturday, September 15, I invite you to talk about how these cuts affect the work you do and how they affect all of us.
