I forgot to mention that this is for the Trustees of the Public School Board CSDCSO. http://www.csdcso.on.ca The dozens of seats are simply handed out because no one runs for their elections. One would think that there is a pre-requisite to speak french but there is none. Anyone from anywhere in the geographic area cover by the school board which is from Niagara to Muskoka can chose to run for any of the wards. So you don’t have to worry about competition. If someone signs up to run for one ward you can simply choose another ward where there is less competition. All residents eligiable to vote can vote and not only the French Speaking residents. If anyone has a student of politics looking for a job in the political sciences field or in the education administration field having been an elected Trustee to any School board is shure to open doors in the future. Even simply running for the elections and not winning looks good on a resume, so people interested in politics, especially young people or even retired people on pensions can see this as a incredible oportunity to not only have great experiance but can also put money un your pocket from a very easy part time jobs that requires very little time or attention. Also great benefits and pension bonuses are obtained from holding public offices in Canada in addition to the prestiege in being able to say you held a elected possition for something.

Political aspirations can be virtually guranteed for anyone located in Ontario and the GTA and anyone wanting to try their hand at being an elected officials can. You don’t even need to live in the ridding of your choice since this Board is different than all other boards that require people to live in the are they want to be elected in. They will have a part time job as a politician and get some extra income, great benefits and all expenses reimbursed and be able to add to any rresume that they held a public office by being elected. It is a excelent opportynity for anyone over the age of 18 to start a political career by sitting on the board of elected representatives over seeing a Public Board that administers over $100 Million dollars in public spending each year. The term of office this Election is four years. But since this is an elected office that requires only part-time attention it is very easy on anyone’s time. Once you have been elected to this public institution it can be a spring board to a future as a full-time politician. No experience is necessary and one needs only run for the public office at nominal cost and anyone with a good personal public persona is shure to be elected. There are a number of seats availble and last election noobody ran for any of their seats but one. That contest was decided over about 250 total votes cast and the difference was a few hundred votes. Anyone who knows people and is able to sent out fliers or do some nominal campaining is sure to win since none of the people being acclaimed are very good politicians. All they do is put their name on the ballot and rely on word of mouth at best since they have never had to camplain before and only won by default because no one ever ran against anyone. This is only the second time this board has been through elections and therefore they have no expeerience getting themselves elected for anything.

Now this 95% rule is responsible for the creation and maintaing of corrupt school systems like Conseilo Scolaire Du District Centre Sud Ouest. The bureaucrats in charge of public spending when they receive complaints of this school board pilfering close to a Million Dollars from the Province of Ontario did not even bat an eye, did nothing about it, and in fact will cover everything up for their compatriates that speak French too, just like them. It's like a freking French Speakers club when is comes to pilfering from the taxpayers money. This is also responsible for Quebec getting away with things like excluding Ontario construction workers from responding to Public Works contracts in Quebec, but at the same time, Ontario Bureaucrats let Quebec companies participate in public tenders in Ontario. This is all because the Civil Service generally in all Local, Provincial and Federal are disproportionately French speaking Canadians and they keep the public jobs and public money circulating among their kind. There should be madatory Ratio thaat fixes all government jobs to be split so that NO MORE than 20% of the public jobs should go to French Speaking Canadians, bilingual or otherwise. This is the ration of French speakers and the rest who are Non-French Canadians. We probably have 80% of the public jobs being carved up between 20% of the population. This is unfair. Everyone should have a RIGHT to the chance for public employment. The RIGHT to a FAIR CHANCE for public employment for all Canadians is MORE IMPORTANT than the FRIVOLOUS right to CHOOSE to speak French instead of using the English they know as well.

French was always intended to be an optional language in Canada. The "Where Numbers Warrant" was supposed to take care of these problems. If there is a community with 100% of the population being bilingual English / French then that community does NOT warrant any government services in French becauase English will do fine. It is not the Governments Job or in Societies Interest to advance French over English as a language. The use of a language is a personal preference and not a right. We are being had. The only purposes that these systemic pervesions serve in to monopolise Government Jobs and Government Spending in favour of Quebec and French Canadians. IT HAS NO OTHER purpose that can be seen as legitimate.

Where in the constitution does it say anyone should have two languages. Or, that people who speak two languages have more rights to government jobs than people who speak only one. Or, that French Speakers have the RIGHT to French Government Services everywhere in Canada. The thing says "Where Numbers Warrant" this does not mean everywhere. If a bilingual french speaker demands service in French when the public servant he got did not speak French then that bilingual should be denied services unless HE uses the English that he knows well enough. There is no right to french anythinig everywhere in Canada

If everyone in Canada decided to speak Punjabi then so be it. You are twisting reality. Those bilingual French Speaking Canadians that are choosing to speak French over English and claiming that they have a right to be served in French anywhere in Canada and that the rest of Canada must accomodate them. I say no you have no such right. You have a right to hire an interpreter, pay him from your own pocket, outside of Quebec or don't leave Quebec unless you learn English. There are no such things as Lingustic Rights. Never have been and never will be. Where "numbers warrant" (WARRANT = NEED) means that when more than 50% of the people living some place in Canada ONLY speak French and DON'T understand enough English to get by ONLY THEN should the government need to hire French Speaking Canadians. Furthermore because most French Speaking Canadian almost all speak English GOOD ENOUGH to get by. Making French a mandatory language for any government job anywhere in Canada INCLUDING Quebec is NOT WARRANTED and should be considered UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

What the hell is a Linguistic Right? Who the hell made that lable up? This is the first place on earth and in history that a group claimed LINGUSTIC RIGHTS. You have the right to speak and be heard. You have no right to demand other people must understand your language of choice. A Linguistic Right is a False Claim to a False Pretense that serves to screw others and allow French Canadians to live off the Welfare demanded from Non-French Canadians who make up 80% of Canada. 80% of Canada counld not care less if they never saw or heard another French word. The more they heard of the bullshit Lingustic Right French Canadians claim the more offesinsive this becomes to everyone else. Your wife may claim a French lingustic right squarely between her legs based on the only thing a French Linguist may be better at doing with their tounges than any other tounges used everywhre in Canada.

They welcome immigrants who already speak French. This is very different than what happens in the Multi-Cultural Part of Canada where all immigrants are welcome. French have a problem with all Non-French Canadians and not just with the English Speaking kind.

Immigrants being herded to Quebec by Immigration Policy and Administrators gontrolling the gates is not the same as French Canadians and their Culture welcoming new Immigrants and trying to turn them into more French Canadians. French Canadian Culture does not provide the environement that tries to assimilate new immigrants to their culture. They make every effort to segragate French Speaking Canadians from all others especially our New Immigrants, claiming entittlements and demanding from all Non-french Canadians.

The fault is all Quebec's and French Canadians and no one else. When immigrants come to Canada they become Eglish Speaking Canadians and not French Speaking Canadians because the Frencg Speaking Canadians do not welcome them or make attempts to turn them into French Speaking Canadians. The French Canadian Culture is one seeking entittlements and making demands on others. They make no effort to assimilate others into their culture and in fact make every effort to not let them in. Segragation has always been their answer and as a result they have segregated themselves to death and the culture drowned because they did not learn to swim in the common pool of society and culture. They have always been the Racists in Canada, calling all other races racists for not bending over to them. The Conseil Scolaire Du District Cetre Sud is a pinacle example of the type of attitude that has corrupted the French Culture in Canada and is causing its demise naturaly since it cannot be defended by force.

This thread has gotten heated on another political board http://www.canadawebpages.com/pc-forum/top...p?TOPIC_ID=5359. Though I would just refer readers there so avoid trying to post more here since there is not much interest shown on this board for this sort of thing to carry on a good conversation on.

This is the Provincial Section and not the Federal Government forum. Municipalities and Regions are just extensions of the Provincial Government. They are not true governments in and of themselves. The same reasons that the Federal Government does not obtain Insurance should apply equally to the Province and its subsidiary governments in municipal and region and boards. When government administrators do something wrong they should pay for it including being sued personally to get the money back or make them spend everything they own defending themselves in Civil Court. There is criminal court but there is also civil court (like in the OJ Simpson case). There should not be insurance covering for them to let them get away with stealing public money. The Coffin Joke on us taxpayers was just an insult to the taxpayers. Martha Stewart got time for $40K stock trade which was like Ten Cents worth of crime relatively speaking compared to her net worth. Canada is comical the way they treat the most serious of crimes which is the Betrayal of Public Trust. People are excecuted in many countries for nominal amounts taken but here millions stolen are brushed off as if nothing happened.

There is a long list BUT 90% of the policies are with the big three: 1) The Guarantee Company of North America (The Largest in Canada with the lions share fo the Premiums) (it's a Private French Canadian Company from Montreal) 2) St. Paul (Large and Multi-national) 3) Aviva (Large and Mutli-national The rest on the list are either no longer in business, have gotten out of Government products in Canada, or don't amount to a hill of beans worth of taking from the taxpayers purse. Contrary to your belief, Surety Bonds are paid for by the Government on their public contracts. Between the premium amount which is between 1% and 2% of contract prices, prices are 50% higher from bonded contractors since only friends of Government are able to get bonded. If they give bonds to people the government does not like, the government takes them off the list of accepted bonding companies to control public tenders and public spending indirectly this way.

Has anyone here ever heard of the Guarantee Company of North America? They are the main Insurers of Senior Government Directors, Commissioners, CAO's etc.. They get paid HUGE premiums every year from the Taxpayer's to cover against FRAUD and OTHER CORRUPTION related activities Government Directors are capable of. If any of our senior public officials are suspected of pilfereing from the public purse, an Insurance Claim can be made under their policies and the insurance policy would pay the government back all the money that was stolen by the government administrators. This serves as a means of stopping the government from going after the public officials personally to let them get away with stealing our money - since this insurance company would pay it back if a claim is ever made. Typically these policies cover many tens of millions of dollars per person for when money goes missing at the hands of directing government employees and it does not require criminal convictions in order to get the lost or missing money paid. Notwithstanding that they receive Hundreds of Millions of dollars in Director Insurance Type Premiums from our Tax Dollars, they have never paid out on a single claim according to any publicly available records; making this Fidelity Insurance product a most lucrative business of selling paper to the publlic that never causes them any claims. These most lucrative of insurance policies are taken out and paid for without public tenders and they are basically the main procurers of these types of policies to our Governments across Canada, yet never have any losses that can be found in public records anywhere. Our governments refuse to make any claims under the policies that the taxpayers have been paying towards for years. You can be assured that IF any public official is ever formally accussed of pilfering from the public the Guaranty Company of North America will step in with a Legal Dream Team and hundred million dollar budgets to defend them at all costs to avoid paying on these types of Fidelity policies. You want accountability and responsibility in government, you need to eliminate the cloaks and daggers they have put in place to prevent personal responsibility and accountability on the people responsible.

To my knowledge, the federal government does not have any insurance for loss of any of its assets, nor for any potential liability.Municipal governments and the smaller provincial governments OTOH may have insurance. Is this a major issue? Yes it is a very major issue few people are aware of. In the event of Insurance disasters you can bet the Insurance Company will get bailed out by the government at the end. The Insurance company does not loose money AFTER calculating the costs of claims. Government is simply feeding extra profit money to the insurance business and paying for all the losses one way or another regardless. Cutout the middleman and pay the loss when they occur and raise our taxes if a Tsunami hits the Pacific Coast not pay for premiums for 5o years taxing the people to death for the time that will never come that the loss will be greater than all the premiums pay up front. Government buying insurance is STUPID and quasi-criminal by pilferinig from the taxpayers hard work simply to make insurance companies richer and our Bureaucrats able to spend more money on their business friends. Government does NOT need any form of insurance whatsoever. It does not NEED to attempt to make off without consequence or responsibility and accountability for its own actions or the actions of its directors and employees. That priviledge can only properly apply to private individuals and private enterprises that have a free will. It cannot properly extend to the public service because the public sector belongs to everyone and must not have its own free will or even any sense of self. The people in government must remain open to consequences and accountability and responsibility regardless what it costs the government as a whole. PAYING FOR INSURANCE TO COVER THE ARSES OF BUREAUCRATS WHO ARE INCOMPETTENT OR ABUSIVE WITH THE TAX PAYERS MONEY IS NOT A PROPER USE OF THE TAXPAYERS MONEY

When Government buys insurance for anything it is stupid. The public is the biggest block available to spread risks of loss. So we are all paying taxes and if there is a loss we all just pay the loss from a part of the taxes we have paid. Government buying insurance is just like giving money away to a corporation for no reason because they are moving risk of a loss to a smaller pool of payers (who are the group of insured individuals under that company) A loss by government only serves to give the excuse to raise the policies of those few that are insured and to let them make more money than would otherwise if they had less so called losses. Insurance premiums are based on the loss profile plus a hefty mark-up so that the insuarnce company does not loose money in the long run. The Government should do its part to help reduce insurance premiums by NOT taking insurance for any of its activities.

It's unfortunate that most Canadians are as ignorant as you are about this. French Emersion is what Non-French Public Schools provide to Non-French families that care for that sort of non-sense. The Segregated French Only Seperate School Board of Ontario are for French Canadian families and for people that already speak French, so they can have their children segragated from all of the Multi-Cultural Children that attend the Public and Catholic Non-French School Systyms. Below is the link to one of these school boards. There are links there to the other Segrated School Boards of Ontario so if you read French you should be able to find the links to othe others. Try sending your children to these school without knowing any French and you won't understand a thing they are doing with them. Nothing they do is in English not even administrative or paperwork sent to parents. No one who does not alrerady speak French can sent their children there for the simple reason you won't know anything that the school board is doing. Though they can't deny anyone enrolement (just like the Catholic School system is forced to accept children from every religion that wants to sign-up) because they are publicly funded, they make it imposible in practice ON PURPOSE so that Non-French Canadians will not send their children there. www.csdcso.on.ca It is time that the people of Ontario started educate themselves about the corruption in our public school systems in Ontario. And this one is one of the most corrupt in so many different ways. This is the president of the Conseil Scolaire du District du Centre Sud Ouest that hekp found the place. Ask him for yourself.

Ontario's Public Educations Systems are currently as follows: Public Catholic French Public French Catholic Every inch of Ontario has FOUR seperate publicly funded Boards of Education. The French versions are "Segragated" School Boards that requires people that use them to be already be substantially and fluidly "French Speaking Canadians" in order to have children attending the "French Public" or the "French Catholic" versions of these Segragation Schools. It is DISCUSTING for a so called "Multicultural Country" that one culture Segragates itself from all of the others this way. The families and the children that use these illegitimate public education systems should be ashamed of themselves.

Conseil Scolaire du District Centre Sud Ouest http://www.csdcso.on.ca This is the biggest of a set of French Canadian "Separatist" Public School Boards in Ontario paid for by Ontario Provincial Education Money collected from all Ontario Taxpayers equally. They blanket the whole Province of Ontario. They serve communities by bussing children to their schools at the publics expense for 50 miles or more and each child is bussed from great distances that other Public School Board will not and cannot afford to do, everyday. This daily bussing operation is done to maintain themselves separate from the rest of the population, like some RELIGIOUS SECT to avoid socializing with Non-French Canadians like as if the rest of us have the plague. They are spearheaded by our French-speaking Canadian Public Servants and exists to exclusively serve and advance French Canadians Only over all others that live in the Province of Ontario. They have no elected representatives with all individuals to Board elected posts being aclaimed to their public offices, some being also their Chief Brreaucrats the work within the organization itself. The separatist schools operating in Ontario are built and paid to hold twice the number students they actually have. They enjoy things like bussing students free of charge from far off distances to congregrate them together and at the Ontario taxpayer's expense. With half the students per teacher than the other public school systems that are instead crowded and splilling over into portables everywhere. Why do Non-French Canadians in Ontario continue to stand by and let their tax dollars be abused this way by a minority group in Ontario that is less than 5% of the population to let them enjoy all these extra benefits and specifically designed extra public services that also divides our citizens. French Canadians generally work less, produce less, yet get to enjoy more benefits in government services and get it in more exclusive ways than the 95% that are Non-French Canadians. The Non-French Canadians must stand up for their rights as the majority and stop letting French Canadians walk all over them. French Canadians in Ontario are less important as a monirity group than the Punjabi or most of the other newer and more numerous immigrants than the decendants of the few French Canadians in this province.

This is the whole problem.... It is not a choice. French is shoved down the Non-French Canadian throuts. There are too many people here that are already bilingual (probably the majority of Canadians are bilingual, only NOT with French. Those people are discriminated against and the rights trampled upon by the French bilingual Canadians. I move for abolishing mandatory French from the Ontario school curiculum and making French Only Language Schools private schools NOT funded by our tax dollars.

How typically French Canadian. You are an ethic foreign minority group when its suits you AND you are the official Canadian language and culture when its suits you. Sucking and Blowing to have things both ways. French Canadians are either a minority group equal to the Punjabi or any other foreign group (and can then be treated equally as any other minority; OR you are the encumbant Domestic Canadian Culture that the minority Groups must deal with as such. Make up your damned minds and stop screwing all Non-French Canadians by flip flopping to gain advantages for your own Minority Group.

The biggest mistake Canada made was not kicking Quebec out of the federation 30 years ago. When Quebec cried that it would leave, the ONLY proper answer was SO LEAVE! Canada would have been a much better place today without the Bananada the French-Canadians have created with their entittlements to special distinct advantages over the 80% of Canadians who are Non-French Canadians.

To assume that all the bilingual bureaucrats and bilingual politicians that got together to draft the new constitution of Canada did not weigh it in the self-interest of the bilingual French Speaking Canadians like themselves is absurd. People are going to be self-serving if given the chance. I don't how much buying was done at the time, but surely if it was written today with the advanced in communications and the dissaster that the French Language experiment has prooven itself to be it would have been different. 30 years is enough and its time the old poorly written document was ammended. Even the US Constitution whcih was one of the best ever written from the start then went through more than a few revisions as it was put into practice and the problem identified. It's only words on paper and even though has not all been agreed upon still now.
