The legal heat is being turned up on B.C.'s 38,000 illegally striking teachers, with the appointment of a special prosecutor.Aren't monopolies just great? What about the children? Don't the unions care?

The appointment was made after sympathetic unionists shut down transit services in Victoria and Nanaimo in advance of a major protest rally at the B.C. legislature.
