This is offensive. I have it on good authority that the thing he hated most was a full bottle of gin and would do everything in his power to turn it into an empty bottle of gin.
I think this reply may be a part of the problem with this debate. It assumes that the participants in the program are agricultural workers. This is traditionally true, but under the current program agriculture workers only represent 60%.
An estimated 15% work in food service, with another 10% in the broader hospitality sector. 5-10% work in construction.
Yeah, Doom 63 was impossibly difficult.
So in England and Australia, does “Labour” mean fascist?
Complete and utter garbage. The police in Canada are truly a place where the corrupt and incompetent go to prosper. I live a hop skip and a jump from where this incident occurred.
Shit I’ve been through where charges weren’t brought. A person in Barrie (while I was stopped there to charge the car) pulled a knife on me and said he cut me. A person in the town here via SMS said they would fuck me up. As a child, the father of the kid who stole my brother’s backpack threw a rock the size of a golf ball at me and hit me in the leg (the cop who investigated I learned was a friend of the child abuser and played in the same hockey league with him).
Please tell me someone is organizing a protest of some sort at this OPP office. Maybe we can organize a water toy amnesty program at this office.
Good on these carriers, and good on CUPW for vigorously representing their members.
Holy crap, I thought I was the only one.
Man, nice to see solidarity in action. It’s a rare thing in North America.
