Librarians seek to justify their government-issued privileges at a time of great technology-driven change, extreme levels of public debt and our recognition that TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT is a problem.
I don't have a clear opinion on government funded librarians, as I have found them to be relatively harmless. They at least provide a useful function, and I imagine that there not many of them, and even fewer that make exorbitant salaries.
What concerns me more are activist trade unions representing government workers. Within the past month, unions like CUPE and the OFL have stated open support for both the SOGI agenda in Canadian schools, as well as the middle eastern terrorist group known as Hamas. I personally find this offensive, as the tax dollars of all Canadians, regardless of political outlook, are being used to fund initiatives that only a minority of Canadians would agree with. Unlike a business whose products and /or services can be boycotted if they were to fund such ideologies, the taxpayer has no opportunity to withdraw their financial support from these rogue agents.
I would venture to suggest that these union ideologues are in contravention of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms (if that document is still in effect).
