Dear Editor:
RE: Rae sums it up, Feb. 24.
Bob Rae sums up what, hypocrisy? “…An occupation is not a protest. A blockade is not a freedom, it blocks the liberty of all. A demand to overthrow a government is not a dialogue…”
Why did Bobby not write this during the Mike Harris years? Were there not enough train and bus terminals, entrances to workplaces, etc. occupied and blockaded to warrant Bobby’s attention?
How about blocking Queen’s Park and spitting on Conservative MPPs? How about CUPE leader Leah Casselman, in a speech reiterated in every city the protesters crippled, stating their goal to “…bring down the Mike Harris government before the next election”?
Do you suppose his sudden epiphany might have something to do with this behavior crossing from his side of the fence to the other?
