The Moral of the Story “Mouseland” is a political fable, originally told by Clare Gillis, a friend of Tommy Douglas. Tommy has used this story many times to show in a humorous way how Canadians fail to recognize that neither the Liberals or Conservatives are truly interested in what matters to ordinary citizens; yet Canadians continue to vote for them.
Bryan Wilson, member of IAM Local 2323 in Toronto, explains how he used the law to refuse unsafe work – another benefit of being an IAM member.
