Ontario Minister of Labour Bob Mackenzie ignores responsibilities, history, rights of persons affected, denies protections normally available to workers

When there is a cliche way of thinking and dealing with an issue, you can count on politicians and public servants to adopt it, no matter what the costs to the people affected, no matter what their rights, no matter what the public officials' responsibility. One should compare Mackenzie's letter with that of former Ontario DM of Labour, George Thomson.
