Even though the peace bond was issued,

 

I'm grateful that God prevented it from being issued concerning

 

every WSIB employee, as the Crown Counsel requested.

 

 

Praise God!  Hallelujah!

 

Thank You, Lord!

Court Hearing... & Freedom of Speech...



Here is a photo of a few injured workers protesting

at the court house in Windsor, Ontario

Tuesday, March 17th, 2015.



To read about the court hearing being held against an injured worker,

please click on this link for the article by The Windsor Star entitled,

Ontario's workplace safety board tries to muzzle

online commenter:

http://blogs.windsorstar.com/news/ontarios-wsib-tries-to-muzzle-online-commenter.

 

As the article says,

there seems to be no proof that the person who had to appear in court

is the correct person, being accused.

 

What happened to freedom of speech?
