Swiss vote against increases in their holidays

Voting not to increase your statutory holiday time? That just occurred several weeks ago in Switzerland. Some 65% of the voters there concluded they did not want to put themselves into the shoes of the economically awkward French, Germans, or Greeks. The idea was to increase the yearly holidays from 4 to 6 weeks, as in those other countries. The unions wanted it. The common sense of the people came into play once again. They said it cannot be afforded.

Who says that people do not know enough to vote upon economic issues?

Would that we had such access to our government's failure to watch its indebtedness. Would not our people tell the Liberal government that it must get better control of the teacher's union by refusing their currently outrageous demands, especially in these rough times; if only we had a chance to vote upon such an issue? Not just that but other aspects of debt, which is growing so high.

Why cannot we prevail upon our own government to establish proper boundaries for Direct Democracy to work here in Ontario? It is our government isn't it? Tell your member we want it!
