What a Difference a Year Makes

By Michael Fitzgibbon

While there is some debate about the origin of the Labour Day holiday, it would seem that Canada is where it all began though it really doesn't much matter.  Here's a short article from the Canadian Encyclopedia and another from Wikepedia.

To many, the meaning of the holiday is lost and it has become associated with the end of summer and the start of the school year.  

But, as the Toronto Star remind us:

Union's continue to fight for reform and conditions of work and argue that they still make a difference. 

This has been a devastating year and individuals and their families have suffered greatly.  My sincere wish and hope is that better times are around the corner for those people who have had to deal with so much.
