The National Post has two articles. The first is a report by the International Labor Organization on how there's a jobs crisis. The second, however, talks of the oil boom in North Dakota, which, like our tar sands, is creating a jobs boom.

I can't say much for the situation in Europe, because I don't live there, but, in North America, you can find good jobs, if you are willing to make the effort.

Thats to keep Asians in BC from selling weed in USA

Hell Angels and United Nations don't look very Asian to me..

There's more to the oil industry in Canada than the oil sands. I believe you're
referring to the Bakken play in mentioning North Dakota, & that doesn't stop
at the border. Much of it extends up into Saskatchewan (and a bit into
Manitoba), and that's part of the reason I'm away from home (& the Forum)
as much as I am. There is NO shortage of work in the S.E. corner of
Saskatchewan.....just a shortage of people.



Across the border into the U.S. they have a surplus of people (& many can't
cross the border, or won't) looking for work in North Dakota. Unskilled people
coming from all over the USA and living in camp grounds and Walmart
parking lots in their campers try'n to get on in the patch down there.

Petros is very correct in pointing out that many skilled Canadians are working
that play on both sides of the border. On the U.S. side, there are so many
people that they can afford to be picky about who gets hired. On the Canadian
side.....if you are willing to travel, aren't a complete idiot, & have a pulse, you
too can have a job in the oil industry in S.E. Saskatchewan.

What they are saying is that there are no jobs for citiots that went and got degrees in philosophy other than serving coffee and fat food to others bums.
Meanwhile in the real world there are all kinds of jobs available for those that are willing to work.

I say cut all government funding to higher education except that which is targeted to a specific trade or profession. Maybe two options would be job training for the unemployed in trades in high demand or higher educaiton in exchange for government service for a term contract, the lengh of time being determined by the time spent studying. Of course all education would be targetted to trades or professions in demand.

One problem is too many people who are too fussy about what they work at BEFORE they know something!

Oh, you mean that Charter that grants separate schools to members of certain religions but not others? You mean that Charter that grants special rights to speakers of certain languages but not others? Is that the Charter you're referring to?

I'll go for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights myself:

Article 26.

  • (1) Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.
  • (2) Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.
  • (3) Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.
To introduce education in trades or professions or higher education within the context of some Peace Corps with education being given in exchange for service would in no way conflict with the Article above. To make it available in exchange for service still makes it available.

And grants more rights to perpetrators than victims!

I'll quickly look onto that...

Legal Rights

Life, liberty and security of person
7. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.
Search or seizure
8. Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.
Detention or imprisonment
9. Everyone has the right not to be arbitrarily detained or imprisoned.
Arrest or detention
10. Everyone has the right on arrest or detention
(a) to be informed promptly of the reasons therefor;
(b) to retain and instruct counsel without delay and to be informed of that right; and
(c) to have the validity of the detention determined by way of habeas corpus and to be released if the detention is not lawful.
Proceedings in criminal and penal matters
11. Any person charged with an offence has the right
(a) to be informed without unreasonable delay of the specific offence;
(b) to be tried within a reasonable time;
(c) not to be compelled to be a witness in proceedings against that person in respect of the offence;
(d) to be presumed innocent until proven guilty according to law in a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal;
(e) not to be denied reasonable bail without just cause;
(f) except in the case of an offence under military law tried before a military tribunal, to the benefit of trial by jury where the maximum punishment for the offence is imprisonment for five years or a more severe punishment;
(g) not to be found guilty on account of any act or omission unless, at the time of the act or omission, it constituted an offence under Canadian or international law or was criminal according to the general principles of law recognized by the community of nations;
(h) if finally acquitted of the offence, not to be tried for it again and, if finally found guilty and punished for the offence, not to be tried or punished for it again; and
(i) if found guilty of the offence and if the punishment for the offence has been varied between the time of commission and the time of sentencing, to the benefit of the lesser punishment.
Treatment or punishment
12. Everyone has the right not to be subjected to any cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.
Self-crimination
13. A witness who testifies in any proceedings has the right not to have any incriminating evidence so given used to incriminate that witness in any other proceedings, except in a prosecution for perjury or for the giving of contradictory evidence.
Interpreter
14. A party or witness in any proceedings who does not understand or speak the language in which the proceedings are conducted or who is deaf has the right to the assistance of an interpreter.

Which part is unreasonable, or did I miss something?
