AND now for something else ..I don't know about the rest of you but I'm in a family with a 6 digit income. We live conservatively and are helping 4 kids through university. I can't imagine How the telus workers manage to make ends mean on the salaries they make. The means to the end are worrisome ( if true) However I can sympathize / If the federal government were not so corrupt the money drained to relect themselves and stay in power could have provided a nice bridge to the good life for middle-lower end earners. How ? By making their mortgage payments tax free, and by lowering taxes for this earning group. If you do math and examine the criminal waste of our tax dollars all this could have been attainable. What has this to do with Telus ? Large companies would have more "wiggle room" when the workers are provided with federal incentives which I outlined above. This whole sorry mess Including the truckers strike in Vancouver ( where I live ..terrible...many small businesses have closed )would have been averted. The Head is rotten. As long as we are led by a government that is set against personal wealth there will be many more occasions for unrest.
