MLA Tanya Fir reportedly receives messages from constituents who express their displeasure that the UCP ended the Teachers' Strike with the Notwithstanding Clause.

Apparently while Fir was replying to callers, on one call she left a voice mail message and failed to properly hang up. Fir's overheard on that message saying "Alright, go to this next motherfucker".

CTV reports on the incident, interviewing the "next motherfucker", Doug Firby, who described how the recording "sounded like a tone of contempt."

I didn't get the tone of contempt. I got MLA leaving voice mail messages, and got caught expressing herself freely when the mics are off. But oh, I did it because my UCP bulldozed the human rights of teachers, and I was getting bad voice mail messages.
