Do you really think the people are going to rally around the Union leader thug? No wonder there are two groups.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23948057.post-35572650444463561232010-03-15T22:21:45.832-04:002010-03-15T22:21:45.832-04:00The villains? Really?<br /><br />The amount that has been invested into hospitals around here over the past few years is unfathomable unless you really look at the hard numbers. So easy for people to dismiss it. Would the campbellford hospital even be here if it weren&#39;t for these villains? They would have to go to Cobourg or Trenton -cat scan/MRI machines an all (that wasn&#39;t there before now was it), and would be grateful to receive the stellar service there is at that hospital.<br /><br />Whatever is invested, its not enough. Don&#39;t raise taxes, but at the same time increase your spending - with revenues down.<br /><br />It. Does. Not. Add. Up. People.<br /><br />Instead of protesting, pull out your wallet and say here - I want this $10 to do what it can. What a community effort that would be! What is this, government and community working together? Couldn&#39;t be!<br /><br />Instead of protesting to spend your money anyway, why not just contribute to the solution instead of saying I don&#39;t like what is going on, but I&#39;ll protest without offering a solution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23948057.post-52032800726741848152010-03-15T19:25:43.615-04:002010-03-15T19:25:43.615-04:00I was quite disappointed to see we now have competing groups on the same issue. <br /><br />While I agree with the nurses that Rinaldi and his government are the true villians here, I don&#39;t agree with holding a separate action at his office.<br /><br />For now, we need people to stick together and form a single battle plan. We can argue about where we should march later.<br /><br />Let us act in solidarity, please people!Deb Ohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06012853847654670916noreply@blogger.com
