Unpublished cartoons from June/July 08

The bottom of the two is the last one I did about the striking Health Clinic workers. Thankfully the strike finally ended after something like 10 weeks or more. My heart was always there for the strikers... maybe that's not only because it didn't appear they were being treated fairly, but I come from a blue collar background... my father was a factory worker. I think people need to study history a little more in order to find out what working was like, for the most part, before there were unions.
The other cartoon is another one about the pitiful state of our health care in this province and in this country. I think it's morally outrageous and disgusting, to boot, that something that we were so proud of, as a country, has slipped to the level it has. And of course, this is by design, so they can keep making the case for profit driven private health care. It's something like how the Republican Party drives up the deficit in the U.S. everytime they are in power, so they will have excuses to slash and burn social programs and spending. (And of course, we in Canada, have had our own politicians who have been taught very well by their southern idols. Pity, ain't it?
