Response to Ontario Budget 2010
Shake Up the Liberals rally, May 5
May 11, 2010
OPSEU members marched to the Scotia Bank Plaza, in the heart of
Toronto’s business district, to picket a Liberal fundraiser on
May 5, the eve of Convention. The “Shake Up the Liberals” rally was so-named
because Liberal supporters were inside the building at a $375 per ticket cocktail reception
for Community and Social Services Minister Madeleine Meilleur. The pouring rain
did not dampen the enthusiasm of members. They heard from their elected leaders,
including Vice-President/Treasurer Patty Rout and Regional vice-president Nancy
Pridham. And they had fun performing street theatre. Powerful investment bank
Goldman Sachs was arrested for pushing the sell-off of valuable government
assets, such as the LCBO.
