A little help?

Dear Canadian flisters,

The Canadian government in its wisdom has decided to cut back costs by going back on their wage agreements with the RCMP.

If you have a moment, please go to Call For Back-Up and take a look at what they have to say. If you find that you agree with what's there (and please don't look at the comments from the public: they make even me cringe, as well-intentioned as they are), then I would ask you to please sign the petition.

This isn't just a wage freeze. They are cancelling an approved change by the Treasury, which would have put the RCMP in a position to offer wage parity to its members.

Anyway, I'd appreciate your taking the time to take a look.

Thanks!

I have happily signed the petition!

Unfortunately, an "Internal Server Error" is currently preventing me (and others) from confirming my signature. I have sent an email to them to report this. Hopefully they'll get back on track soon---ideally before people simply give up in exasperation!

I signed with no problem; maybe it's just being massively overloaded by petition-signers! I also posted it to Facebook.

I'm glad you posted this; I remember hearing about it a week or so ago and thinking "Argh, stupid government" and then it fell out of my brain.
