OTTAWA – Several hundred teachers and educational support staff from across the city marked May Day by holding a rally outside of Dalton Mcguinty’s constituency office on Tuesday afternoon.
Protesters chanted and waved signs and flags while cars drove by honking their horns. The long line of people snaked down the sidewalk on Kilborn Avenue.
Organizers of the rally wanted to show their concern about Mcguinty’s austerity budget. “It’s not fair for the working people of Ontario to have to pay for the mistakes of corporations,” protester Jan Fraser said.
The organizers hope teachers from across the province will continue to protest to
help keep the minority Liberal government in check.
