More than 150,000 public sector workers are on strike right now, holding hostage the services Canadians rely on every day. The federal workers are demanding a 47% hike in compensation, the right to never return in-person to the office again and even mandatory taxpayer funding toward a “social justice fund.”

At a time when Canadians are struggling to get by, it’s clear the public sector must think we’re stupid to make these type of demands.
