	Should TTC be made an essential service? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		The essential service debate seems to have been toned down this year, probably a result of the fact that most Toronto residents don’t actually think that the strike will take place.
		The only valid argument for making it essential is the effect that the increase in traffic will have on emergency vehicles in a city that is already suffering from terminal gridlock.
		There is of course a real possibility that lives could be lost if firefighters, police and paramedics are stuck in traffic and not able to reach their destinations quickly.

	Public Service, Essential Service (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		But public services are essential services, and the argument that in the interest of the economy as a whole we must cut back on essentials so we can afford the high added value luxuries, sounds quite reasonable when dressed up in psychological appeals to our self-esteem.
		Complaints that the lower standards of public services make this necessary, yes, but no one seems to be very happy to feel that they have to do so.
		Most absurd of all it the claim that the industry cannot afford to provide pensions, everyone must accept more responsibility for providing their own, and pursing the assets of their provider if the provider's inflated promises cannot be fulfilled.

	Australian Labor Party: The Liberal view: child care not an essential service
		Liberal MP Michael Ferguson today stated his view that childcare is not an essential service.
		Child care is an essential service for all students with young children who don't have a partner at home during the day, and its an essential service for working families.
		Mr Ferguson betrays a complete lack of understanding of the needs of all Australian parents who work and study, and should reflect on his lack of empathy for the needs of those Australians who have the courage and self-discipline to improve their skills at university while also raising children.
