It has become my daily routine to read a newspaper. Every morning as I got up, I go downstairs in the elevator, and get today's Vancouver Sun from the vending machine in front of my apartment. Today's top news was about the teachers' walkout in the British Columbia. The B.C. public schools are to be closed because of the teacher's indefinite strike on their right of negotiation. I read a small article which reports that some students are making a banner in support of the teachers' walkout. It says "WE SUPPORT OUR TEACHERS!" I doubt them they are really supporting their teachers. If I were in their shoes as a high school student, I would do the same things because I don't have to go to school for a while. It's like a festival. Anyway, in Japan, public servants including teachers do not have the right to strike and public schools would never be closed because of strike. I think it's quite natural because If they were allowed to go on strike the most basic social function would be endangered. Is it acceptable if the police man didn't do anything in case of criminal?
