Andre’s Corner

Hey fellow Canadians perhaps you would like some cheese to add to your whine. Whining about gas tax but not about having the paved roads to drive on hich those gas tax help pay for. Complaining about then price of gas or having to pay before you pump. All while paying more for bottled water than you do for gas.


Whining about the weather, boo hoo it raining a little like it would kill ya! Cry me a river! Cry me a Niagara falls of tears. B!T*Hing and moaning
about parking tickets when it was up to you to feed the metre.
Those metre maids do not have quotas to fill, so don’t blame them for doing their job.

Cash your GST cheque and still complain about charged GST when you buy something with it. Cry me a river; go ahead and cry. Notice the sea-planes before you buy that waterfront condo but still buy it; now those sea-planes are one more thing to moan and groan about.

Keep electing governments that make conflicting promises that don’t add up so you can complain when they can’t fill them all. Complain about the price
of anything in any store that can’t match walmart’s prices. Oh yes cry me a Niagara fall of tears, boo hoo boo hoo it’s wet out. Hold back the rain.
Don’t want this shelter in my backyard, don’t want these people who lost their home assisted on my dime even though it’s also on their dime.
They have to live somewhere why a flood zone when I live on a fault?

In other words I am a sore loser and redneck peeved they got aid and I 
did not.

Whiny stuck up Canadians with your noses so high in the air I can’t see your ugly face.
Nimbys, cry me a river, cry me a Niagara fallss of tears.

Perhaps some competition with the public sector would

do some good. Take for instance public healthcare unions,

and teachers union.  The BC Nurses union are claiming

contract out surgeries would be bad for the public system

and the BC teachers are demanding a 24% raise.

Their raise negotiated during the liberals first term put a squeeze on the

            Allison Lambert’s Sept 17 2004 article in the Times Colonist titled “T-shirt Patrol

Shames Students in Obeying Dress Code”, shows some high school principals are

over controlling sticks-in-mud.  In the first two paragraphs we learn of a teenage

girl who showed up at Ecole Horizon Jeunesse high school, in Montreal  with bare shoulders and a plunging neckline.  She was given a choice: cover up with either

a jacket or a school t-shirt.  So far, at least five schools are using school t-shirts to

enforce dress codes. The principals’ reasoning is that t-shirts work better than

detentions. So, they agree that they must enforce the dress code one way or another,

yet don’t say why they need to enforce it. 

            “The consequence of dressing inappropriately is having to wear a T-shirt

            that they wouldn’t be caught dead in’ said Chuck Merilees, principal of St.

            Thomas High… Our goal is not to embarrass kids. We want to educate them”

            He gives no explanation how so-called inappropriate attire impedes the

students ability to be educated. The article doesn’t state who considers crop tops,

plunging necklines or strap tops inappropriate, other than the principals enforcing

the dress code.  The principals don’t even offer any support to their opinion why

such attire is inappropriate at school.  At the beginning of the year students of

Ecole Jeunesse are told what they can and can’t wear to class. The article doesn’t

say that they are told what is indecent about any forbidden attire: like the

girl’s strap top shown in the picture, for instance.  All Jeunesse students, are given an option of replacing or covering the offensive article of clothing before being

asked to put on the T-shirt. Their principal, Eric Demers, say they ‘re given a chance

to challenge their principal and state why the clothing should not be considered

indecent.

            “Students will usually change on their own since the t-shirt identifies the

            teenager as a dress code violator,  it attracts unwanted attention from

            other student”

A member of the governing board at Westwood High says it’s a good idea cause

it’s better than sending the students home. He gives no justification for being so

strict with attire that either measure should be taken. Students aren’t the only

ones that oppose the dress code. The principal of Jeunesse faces opposition

from some parents who feel schools shouldn’t enforce dress codes.

Well just when I thought I seen it all a woman in Isreal marries a dolphin. What

is the world coming to? What will wackos marry next? I thought it is bad

enough that countries acknowledge same sex marriages; now interspecies unions?

What if the dolphin wants to remain single, or to marry a girl dophin?

On another note I believe same sex marriage should just mean only having sex

with the same person you’re married to!

Now Stephen Harper is ready to give into Québec and sell out the other nine provinces. Whether Gilles Duceppe likes it or not Québec is a province not a country, and isn’t entitled to it’s own international voice.

Quite frankly, I am tired of the separatists never ending whining that their getting a raw deal. Québec’s based Bombardier’s aero division would not survive if it weren’t for subsidies from Ottawa. Québec got the contract for the CF-18s despite a cheaper bid from Manitoba; the built the 100 griffin helicopters used by the Canadian armed forces, armed coyotes etc.

The Quebecers want nine provinces officially bilingual, but Québec to be

officially French only. Québec is like the favoured and spoiled kid of the family who can get all the gifts under the Christmas tree and still not be satisfied. Anyone who says this special treatment isn’t fair is accused of being

anti-Quebec, and pro giving them a raw deal.

I am now fan of former PM Mulroney, but he was right when he told the seperatists to go to hell!
