SCOC - Appointees must be bilingual? Good or Bad Law

Quoting JLM
"When an immigrant comes to this country I think the onus should be on him to learn the language in a reasonable amount of time (I suggest one year) and after that his problems are his/her own, nothing to do with Gov't."
That is exactly what I did, all alone, as a seventeen-year-old boy. I learned English without the phony "Englisg as second language" taxpayer funded program that only a self-loathing, freeloading louse could like.
My only dependence on the government was a six-week period in 1963 when I drew pogey, and now, that I am retired and happily receive a pittance from Canada Pension, a pittance compared to what what I paid into it.

No no no. But we have so many federalist lackeys in Ottawa who believe in bilingualism, yet cannot speak French. This passive loyalty to sloth does the country no good. Quebec already gets 3 judges on the SCOC. Enough.
Hey Y.J. - I like your style, but you have to be a bit gentler on the youngsters of today, they are too used to someone looking after them and thinking for them. Sounds like you are the same vintage as me, so you are getting approx. the same benefit from C.P.P. as I am and we're not hard done by. You are miserable enough to live to be 100 so you'll get back far more than you paid in. When I first started paying into it, it was less than $7 a month for the maximum wage earner.
Well what about the one armed, deaf and mute wall paper hanger - Who speaks for him.
You must be older than I am. I remember pop for 7 cents, and bread for 11 cents, but then we lived out in the sticks so I guess in town you could probably buy a stubby bottle of coke for a nickel.
You're just a kid. Yep, we never went to the Doc until we absolutely had to usually at the point before choosing him or the morgue. Of course getting a shot of penicillin in those days was a major ordeal. They never threw away the needles so most likely you were getting it with a weapon about as dull as a Dutch hoe. Trips to the dentist were a real treat with those low speed drills.
We had a Dr the lived next door to us - He was nicknamed Dr Iodine - as that is what he used on ever thing it seems - Out fishing trout with Dad one day car door was slammed on my thumb - Blood spouting everywheres - Filled the can of worms with blood - over we go to see him - Takes my thumb - twists it like a pretzel - announces it is broken and slathered iodine all over it - wrapped it up and off we went.
Never had a problem with it - Never made a sound either -
My mother puts peroxide on everything, clotted or not. She even drinks the stuff, swears it got rid of cancerous cells.
She's heard it before, first used in a CNDBear thread about four years ago. I forget the number.
