Dumpy is not wrong really. It is just that he has this unique way with words that could make helping a blind person across the street seem like a bad thing.
Speaking of jobs,remember the good ol' days when they'd cut off your pogey if you turned down a job,not a job in your chosen field,but a job.Meby that's why we have to import people to pick blueberrys,or vaccinate chickens.You hear all the time what's happening to kids these days ?,wheat the hell do you expect ? Can't make the connection ? I rest my case.
But they are ENTITLED to a job in their chosen profession. Also a free ride at university courtesy of the taxpayer. Hell we can't even gt enough tree planters in BC in the summer. Too hard of work for the video gamers. Whats really pathetic is the Canadian students union which makes the NDP look like right wingers is publicly complaining that the average student has $24000 debt when finished school. Cost of a mid range car
Interesting isn't it?
Take a drive through the UBC or Simon Fraser campus parking lots and take a look at what's parked on the lot. It sure ain't the collection of 1980's beaters that you'd see on campus in the late '90's.
Add in the iPhones, iPods and other tech toys and it makes you wonder what the students are actually spending their money on.
his stock, of late, has lost a lot of its value. Never had a helluva lot to begin with. I dunno about the good, old, forebears.
just sayin.
the rest they spend wastefully..................
That's all part of the university experience, isn't it?
Hell, there are more folks than I care to recall that learned what tetracycline actually was as the result of certain, ah, extra circular field trips
I think he was a principal, got into some difficulty with his behaviour at school, was on leave or something, then went out for a walk one night and disappeared forever, something like that. As a result, the son (Steven's father) left town and moved to Toronto as soon as he could.
I've worked with many skilled immigrants .....Lawyers..Accountants...Teachers.....Met them while we were all working in a factory for $11/hr...Man did we have some great conversations...Main one being how upset they were to be highly qualified...; working in a dead end job, unable to get ahead...let alone pay for rent/ food/ transportation...
It wasn't what they had expected...
Then it snowed..
--- Better times lay ahead -- I said..(.. could be worse ..)

Governments/Big Biz don't seem to be creating jobs people want..The Jobs that make the people, the things they want; but for some reason can't afford to buy anyway..So the gov. brings in more people ...promising them more...setting them up ...for what?..Failure?
Hard to sustain an acceptable 1st world standard of living when the standards by Government/Biz seem so lowly..
Here's hopin things get better...Heads Up!..Gotta keep movin' positively forward into the future...
Immigration has become something of a social program. I remember a Mexican girl telling me her family came to Canada, and her father, an experienced engineer, couldn't use his engineering education. It just gets pointless explaining the fed govt has one idea, and the provinces and provincially regulated professional associations have another. These prof. associations just shrug as numerous educated people enter the country. The rhetoric doesn't match the realtiy on the ground.
The right, or capital wants lots of immigration for cheap labour. The left just likes to have lots of people to help, "What do you advocate? What do you got". The right feels it owes its first duty to capital, because business feels like it is above politics and wants govt to get out of the way. The left feels like citizens of the world first, a global citizen, helping all humanity. The left sees Canadians as inherently racist and constantly needing correction because Canadians can't understand the noble higher causes they pursue.
Immigrants should get some notice that they are likely not to wildly succeed, but do okay. Better than you left from, but maybe not as good as you dreamed. And it snows, even in Vancouver-plus the rain. I hate giving out bad news.
