Controversial opinions:
1) Creating good-paying public sector jobs is good, actually.
2) Cutting taxes on the wealthy and subsidizing corporations so they will create low-paying jobs* is not so good, actually.
(* Mostly they just reinvest in the market, hide funds offshore, or buy another yacht)

In the Harper years, I went to protests in Ottawa with scientists who were fighting against the muzzling of their research and loss of funding due to his policies.
