So, Burns (sp?) Meat in Kitchener, Ontario is closing for good because
its workers refused to take a pay cut. I cannot help but think that
there must be something wrong with a system (or set of laws, or group of
people, or whatever) that would sooner see a company shut down than pay 
its workers wages that would allow it to possibly be competitive and 
hence stay open.

I also sympathize with that portion of Canada's 1.4 million jobless
who would willingly work at the reduced wage, but will never get the
opportunity to do so.
