We Pay, They Use!

My oldest son is at NAIT now, and is already talking about jobs in the US. I will be sad for him to leave us, but if that is where the job opportunities are, good luck to him, and we will VISIT him as often as we can, but we don't want to immigrate to the US to stay near him. The US should not let us in just because he is working there either. So, why does Canada?

The Liberals created a great vote getting scheme by instituting the "family reunification" project. What we got was that one productive member was able to bring over their whole family, including grandpa and grandma, who will not contribute by working, will not learn the language, and WILL use our overloaded health system, that they have never contributed to. They have doctors, my family does not. We pay, they use.

It appears that our current government has figured this out, and are about to stop this practice.

Only about 20 per cent of immigrants to Canada are primary economic immigrants, he said, while the remaining applicants are their spouses and sponsored family members.
“To those who think we can solve that problem through immigration alone are profoundly mistaken,” Kenney told the committee.
Kenney said the Conservative government isn’t opposed to family reunification, but said there must be limits.
“We have to calibrate those limits based on our country’s economic needs, our fiscal capacity,” he said. “There is no doubt that the people who are coming who are senior citizens, they have much, much lower labour market participation and much higher level of utilization of the public health system.”

You have to love Jason Kenney, he's not afraid to tell it like it really is.  Keep up the great work Jason!

Unless the country they live in is at war, grandpa and grandma are probably happier staying put in their own homes than being transplanted to a new land that doesn't speak their language. They are like lost little puppies, that need lots of care, but turn around and shit on your carpet.

My son can move anywhere he wants for work, but don't expect us to follow. I can see the crocodile tears of the left pouring down their faces as they shout for ma and pa to be able to suck off the taxpayer teat.

Life Gets In The Way Sometimes!

Sorry for not posting everyday like I usually do, but life gets in the way sometimes. Our search for a greyhound continues, my heart needs to say yes when I see the dog. The adoption of a dog is one that must be right for everyone in the family, as the dog will be with us hopefully for 10 to 12 years. Our Dogs With Wings girl will be leaving us at the end of July, so we have some time yet.

We have also been busy with graduations, my youngest graduated from grade nine, thankfully boys don't need $300 garments for a 2 hour graduation! We just went to my other sons grade 12 graduation. I am so proud of both boys! I am really excited that my oldest is going to NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) in September, he has been accepted into media design and IT, he will be designing games.

I also have been involved in a very special gardening project. It's always rewarding to garden and grow vegetables for those who need nutrition the most. To bad the lefties talk a big game about helping the most needy, but they are nowhere to be seen actually helping the people they pretend to care for so much! Hypocrites!

Life can sometimes get really busy. All I want to do is lie out in the sun and read a good book, ........... maybe tomorrow.

Sick Of Lefty Universities?

Send your kids to college. Most colleges now offer degrees, so your kids will pay less in tuition fees, and get a better education.

A typical university economics course means your kid will be one of 300 stuck in a huge auditorium. A typical college economics course means your kid will be one of 30 in a classroom. A university business grad takes two years of arts courses and then takes two of business. A college grad takes two years of business courses and then takes two more of business related courses. A university grad takes sociology, modern dance, field hockey, and other social science courses to get their degree. A college grad takes courses that are directly related to the degree, no "fluff" courses are necessary.

Most importantly, colleges are not infested with leftist professors (yet) who dictate to their students how they should think, or student government that only supports those groups they agree with, and censor those they don't.

Carleton anti-abortion club wants court to review ban

The lawyer for an anti-abortion group just decertified at Carleton University said Friday he will take the school’s student association to court unless the ban is reversed. Albertos Polizogopoulos called the decision to decertify Carleton Lifeline by the Carleton University Student Association (CUSA) “totalitarian”  and “ludicrous.”
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association, meanwhile, has sent a letter to CUSA asking it to behave more responsibly and protect minority opinion.
“You can be pro-choice and for free speech,’’ said Nathalie DesRosiers, general counsel of the civil liberties group. ‘‘Student governments must act like a government and represent all students, not just the ones who think like them. They have a duty to protect minority views. We have told them that what they are doing is not proper and they should respect the right of dissent.”

Lefty universities are not teaching your kids anything worthwhile. What does your kid do with an English degree, or a sociology degree, or a degree in history? Where are the jobs for those kids? If your kid goes to a college, they can become a paramedic, a plumber, a welder, an accountant, all highly employable careers. 

My oldest boy has gone to the open houses for the U of A and NAIT, he has decided to apply to NAIT because he can get a two year diploma and go out and work, or he can get his degree, all for a lot cheaper than if he went to the U of A. If you do not want your kid indoctrinated by lefty professors, send them to a college, they get a better education without the politics.
