Well, actually I worked as a high school teacher (history) for seven years, and hated almost every minute of it. And I promise, I was NEVER overpaid. I have two degrees, and (as I had no regular class) I made the princely sum of $79.35 per DAY (1990 - 1997), maximum 182 days per year. Do the math.
But that is not what I was talking about. When I went to work for Brinks, I became local firearms instructor and trainer. The introductory course included a lot on the Criminal Code and armed self defense. After they closed the local branch, I went to work for security at a local port installation, and became their trainer, and taught a course on the Charter, citizen's arrest, trespass and theft law, use of force, search etc.
Seeing as you are interested in my work history, I also worked as a farm hand, construction, on a survey crew, warehouseman, retail sales, house painter, brewery worker, longshoreman, grain elevator worker, enumerator, for the sheriff's office, history researcher, food process machine mechanic, power engineer, sugar refinery worker, flagman on the road, and probably a couple of more I've forgotten.
Oh....go wayyy back, and I was a paper boy.
I hope you're satisfied.
Oh Colpy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You may have been only a part time teacher but you sing the teacher blues just as loud and proud as an OLD PRO with 30 years in class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is not a single teacher out there who does not rage about being "UNDER PAID" AND "UNDER APPRECIATED"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for the "princely sums" you earned- it is good odds that you were paid WHAT THE PROVINCE COULD HONESTLY AFFORD back in the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The province was probably A LOT CLOSER to being in the black when you were getting those miserly rates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
House costs down east are WAY ND BELOW what it takes to own 4 walls and a roof in Ontari-owe so it stands to reaason your pay would be lower to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In addition- part time teachers are a dime a dozen and your pay reflects this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And THAT is what BURNS TEACHERS ISNT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ontari-owe teacher colleges throw out about 15,000 new teachers per year..................but there are only about 5,000 actual new teacher jobs here per year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The left over 10,000 new teachers paid out big money and time to be trained.....................and then end up sitting on a shelf grumbling and fretting over their student debts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And there is the problem Colpy- as I pointed out- teachers are more than a little SCHIZOPHRENIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They want LOW TUITION for their education......................and HIGH PAY for teachers when they are working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Teachers want LOW TAXES and HIGH PAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They want the environment to be saved- but want OTHERS to make all the sacrifices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Surely you are familiar with that annoying concept of "having your cake and eating it too"????????????????????
I saw in the news a few years back that New Brunswick had a $14 billion dollar deficit for that year- with a population of 751,000 which is of course UTTER MADNESS for a population that size!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it explains why LIE-berals are NO LONGER running the govt there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To get a deficit of that size they MUST be paying a whole lot more than $80.00 per day to their teachers and other civil service union Hogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is just the usual UNSUSTAINABLE LIE-beral vote buying and shameless BRIBERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that is the problem I have been harping on here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pay to civil servants Hogs no longer bears ANY RELATIONSHIP to what we ordinary people can afford!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Govt union pay is so out of wack that LIE-berals are breaking the bank with their borrowing just to pay Hog salaries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The lives of several generations of kids are being blighted by these massive debts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The roads are disintegrating because there is no money for real repairs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sewer and rain water drainage and drinking water supply systems are rotting out with no money available for repairs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bridges are rotting for the same reason- no money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The vital road link - 4 lane wide Champlain Bridge in Montreal has been reduced to 2 lanes to lighten the strain and prevent a collapse while a new bridge is built on a panic basis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The vital Toronto Gardiner Expressway is approaching the same decrepit state as Champlain Bridge with chunks of concrete frequently threatening to squash cars passing underneath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Affordable housing in Toronto is increasingly either ON FIRE due to faulty wiring or flooded due to rusted out pipes or freezing cold thanks to dead heating systems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taxes are so heavy that few Cdns are saving any money for their old age- meaning a future HUGE WAVE of poverty stricken old folks and HUGE future pressure on Hogs to SHARE what they have with those "Less Fortunate"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The number of people in Ontari-owe who follow doctors orders and take ALL their prescription medicine as instructed is falling steadily since old folks now find it ever harder to pay for heat that LIE-berals are price gouging to raise gravy for civil service unions;
and for food that LIE-berals are price gouging with their carbon taxes;
and for the prescription medicine the oldsters have been prescribed but that they can no longer afford thanks to their fixed incomes simply NOT KEEPING UP WITH LIE-beral mandated inflation and costly vote buying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are a LOT of people out there quietly suffering and LIE-berals- and the "under paid" teachers who support them are OBLIVIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And yes- I used to be a paper boy myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for your thoughts on the subject of self defense.............you can quote the law as you understand it all you want....................but it does NOT CHANGE how the public feels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My statement that you are SAFER being judged by a jury rather than by a judge alone stands as valid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A jury of your peers will understand your status a lot more clearly than a LIE-beral hug a thug judge seeking to BLAME a guy like Gerald Stanley for stirring up trouble by trying to protect his stuff from THIEVES that LIE-berals are coddling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So yeah- its personal emotion and frustration versus legal nit picking guided by politically correct LIE-berals sucking up to thugs!!!!!!!!!!
We have only to refer back to the trial by jury of Gerald Stanley for accidentally shooting Colton Boushie to see this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or the other trial by jury here in Ontari-owe near Brantford of another shooting of a native thief by a white farmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In BOTH CASES the accused white guys were declared innocent by juries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While Our idiot Boy and his loser LIE-berals raged at the "injustice" of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Political correctness and shameless vote buying versus public frustration at being treated as suckers and cash cows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The stark fact is that ordinary Cdns take a more open minded approach to self defense than LIE-berals or lawyers do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ordinary people take the attitude that LIE-berals should either do an honest job of providing security- which they will NOT DO since it cuts into their gravy supply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OR LIE-berals should shut up and get out of the way of people just trying to protect their stuff from predators that LIE-berals are literally ENCOURAGING by telling all natives they are perpetual victims of a white society made up entirely of :Systemic Racists" and "Islamophobes"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In each case where natives were shot in one of these allegedly controversial shootings- the native was caught red handed in the middle of ROBBERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Cdn public is focused on the reality that the native would NOT have had any trouble if he had respected the rights of others!!!!!!!!!
In the Boushie case- the natives had a fully loaded .22 calibre semi automatic rifle with them- with the stock SAWED OFF for easier concealment and use in tight quarters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals rage at the loss of a young life while ordinary Cdns rage at the number of drunken and drugged up predators seeking to rip us off...............while hug a thug judges seek every excuse to release the thugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE had an armed robbery here in our usually sleepy suburb.............3 black guys came to a local mall and got into the underground parking area where the trailers are stored......................
They had INSIDE INFORMATION and knew which trailer held the electronics and got into it- with one kid detailed to stand guard with a shot gun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fortunately the guard got excited and came into the trailer to look at the loot- left the gun outside the trailer............................
Just as 2 store employees arrived from an elevator to collect some stock...............................
The guard heard the elevator arrive and panicked and rushed to grab his gun...................the older employee was more experienced with shop lifters and saw the guard coming and shoved him off the loading dock- a head first drop onto concrete- with smashing pumpkin effect.................
The ringleader of the gang was classed as an "adult" and he had THREE OUTSTANDING CHARGE from within a SINGLE year .........
one charge for attempted RAPE, one charge for attempted MURDER in a bar and one charge of ARMED ROBBERY...............and of course he was out on bail leading this new armed robbery to pay off drug debts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So the ring leader does not want more charges and he emerges from hiding and makes a run for it.............swinging the heavy bolt cutters they used to get into the trailer...............AT THE HEAD of the second employee who is standing bewildered and blocking access to the get away car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The second employee manages to get his arm up and the blow smashes it into 3 pieces which will require surgery to repair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the first employee breaks the nose of the ringleader- knocks him cold...........................the third gang member surrenders without incident................
The general public view is that if the guard had recovered the shotgun he either would have shot the 2 employees on the spot............
or taken them hostage..............to be SHOT LATER in some isolated laneway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After all.......the ringleader of the gang is already out on bail for an attempted murder charge......so why not eliminate the only 2 witnesses??????????????????
So what it comes down to is that a LOT of Cdns are disgusted with the predators in our midst- with too many of them either having been admitted to Canada thanks to misguided LIE-beral immigration BULLSH+T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or - in the case of the 3 armed store robbers- they are the maladjusted socially failed children of immigrants chosen by LIE-berals for reasons of shameless vote buying and political correctness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You an bet that anybody who was related to the 2 employees will be enthusiastic about any move to get MORE SERIOUS about crime and punishment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And THAT IS WHY TRIAL BY JURY IS A BETTER BET for somebody like Gerald Stanley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And LIE-berals AGREE WITH ME ON THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is why LIE-berals have ALTERED THE JURY SELECTION PROCESS................to ENSURE that more minorities get on juries and make it HARDER for people like Stanley to protect their property free of legal consequences!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I have stated- LIE-beral values are at odds with public values and telling me nice stories about your work history WILL NOT ALTER THIS FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
