6 am Wake-up Call

Canada is seen by many as a "liberal" country where equality has been established and systems have been put in place to provide for level playing fields. This naive understanding has made our population feel overly comfortable and content with thier career roles and their lot in life, allowing for injustice to creep in along with the abuse of power.
Job security today seems to be at a low, with the abundance of "convenient" contract positions (and non-union work places) that allow companies to maintain low wages and high turn over rates that reduce the number of pay raises and disallow workers to join together in common thought. The young, the elderly, the uneducated, the poor, and the injured all suffer in the hands of this "level playing field" and because the population is so lulled by the sway of our desire to advert reality, to escape from life, through entertainment and other means, we are inavertantly blind to the injustice and lack of action.



It is time to go beyond the "common" issues of the day, to come out of our waking life, and find a place within society and the workforce for everyone.
