MLA Tanya Fir reportedly receives messages from constituents who express their displeasure that the UCP ended the Teachers’ Strike with the Notwithstanding Clause.
Apparently while Fir was replying to callers, on one call she left a voice mail message and failed to properly hang up. Fir’s overheard on that message saying “Alright, go to this next motherfucker”.
CTV reports on the incident, interviewing the “next motherfucker”, Doug Firby, who described how the recording “sounded like a tone of contempt.”
I didn’t get the tone of contempt. I got MLA leaving voice mail messages, and got caught expressing herself freely when the mics are off. But oh, I did it because my UCP bulldozed the human rights of teachers, and I was getting bad voice mail messages.
If I were to give her the benefit of the doubt, she has probably spent her whole day leaving some variation of the same voicemail. I don’t blame her for being a little bitter about that situation.
That being said, she is still scum for the part that she and all the other MLAs played in that vote to strip teachers of their rights, and deserves all the hate she receives for that.
I hope this is the last nail in the coffin for the UCP and we can get some adults in the room.
How many nails do they need.
