It's entirely possible to completely support the striking workers in Toronto, then read that article, and decide to withdraw support.

So much of that article gleefully robs the strike of legitimacy by dragging in either unrelated themes or selfish motives you want to be unrelated.

It's a picket line. I know I can't cross it in good conscience or I'm a hypocrite for sure. But if I completely forget what I just read, I can continue to believe in their purpose with my heart as well.
