Fletch 27

Topaz... To the tune of over a billion dollars? Leave you leftist angel wings at the door please...

This would be very straight forward Big Guy.. I would propose that as all teachers are provided a work-load or coarse load, they should be able to complete a test based on the coarse load. . This should be provincially managed and not regional. If they can not meet 90 percent, they get a demerit point or more.. 2). Participation. If they do not participate in extra-curricular activities for students to an agreed upon rate.. A demerit point system is applied 3). attendance. This should be monitored and based on the provincial average across the private sector 4). Parental score-card. This could be submitted back with every students report card. Is the teacher performing well, or "needs improvement"? 5). Students graded on a REGIONAL average... If a group of students perform poorly based on that average, the teacher is warned and accumulates demerits. If things do not improve, they are fired. I think that covers all of the talking points? It's objective, TANGIBLE and quantative... It will weed out the poor performers and strengthen the good performers. It's a win/win. I don't mind funding education as long as it's GOOD and ENSURED! Again, these are real world quantifiable results that would be rewarded and paid for... The union simply needs to agree on PERFORMANCE based members and DROP these draconian tactics....... Unreasonable? Seems achievable to me... And real world.

Oh, the Victim mentality again...... The 1%.... yes......

Is "Danish" ethnic" What about German? Hows about the Swedish? Maybe columbian? Maybe even mexican... Please Jacee... Can you point out or direct us to these "Points of fact" you cite! Ohh CITE? I was under the impression he targetted the ECONOMY! He was clear and open, (dare i say TRANSPARENT) about his immigration reforms!!! And i FULLY back him and Jason Kenney on that....

Seems this on-line poll is accurate! You cant pick-and-choose your Polls guys... Polls (ALL OF THEM) have shown over and over how poorly they perform... But Harper having 3x the trust over the Canadian Media seems like an "anomoly" that simply can not be overlooked.... and 16% vs 10% for the other parties??

Michael, your citing a "blog"... You have chastized many on here for doing just that.... This Law-Firm counters your "blog".... And Canadian history in Arbitration (I will cite Air Canada again) seems fair http://www.fiddlerlaw.com/why-arbitration-is-bad-for-employees.php

Facts be Danmed!!!!

Well, Minus the teachers of coarse... Under "Work to rule"... Breaking contracts to gain a better on you know.....

Nothing at all about what ethnic group in the linky.... Do you have another?

Nope, just popular opinion and trends in polls.... Thats all

Carefull.... Only a Naturalized Canaian Citizen can be accused of insciting hate... Thats just a heads up.... You will see it on this site as well... But im in full agreement with your method...

They wanted free education and health-care it seems... They dont seem to agree with or like ANY other aspects of Canada

I support the Middle.. I also support some unions Michael! I do not support the travesties that 2 Unions have commited on Students and taxpayers... OPSEU and the Teachers Union(s). I dont support a few points that Harper stands for... But he has captured what i call the center.. Thats why he has the Majority..

Ohh OK.... I wonder if the Arbitrator is paid extra for after hours...

Maybe those 2 fine ladies would care to opt for a female circumcision on Ramadan? Sickening to see what we have allowed onto the soil our soldiers fought for,,.

Sure seems they know an injustice when they see em! ou think they are all pro-union? You think they gloss over the fact that 74% of Ontarians want this injustice and misscariage of power to stop? Um yea.....

Pik, Please dont "back me up"..... He has cited an agreement to my position as "backing up" and he feels like hes in a ninja-fight....

Umm, Didnt he allow debate freely on when life begins by the back-bencher??? He a HELL of a lot more free-righn than Mulcair

SURE !! Have a looky right here Michael! http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/harper-among-least-trusted-leaders-poll-shows/article5187774/%3bjsessionid=nTFyQhQf1bccVn0y2kCQvcGQ7TcXQd9g3pnGJJZFGkJwdGRzFQpM!-1726588208/ I will even strip it out for you! The levels of trust are also low for the Canadian Parliament (17 per cent), political parties (10 per cent) and mass media (6 per cent). I will accept your appologies now for calling me an "angry idealogue" Whats with all the name calling in a difference of opinion??

This is by FAR not an accurate statement... MANY times in Arbitration the Unions do NOT get what they want (Air Canada v Unions)? With more than 70% of Canadians in favor, an Arbitrator would NOT allow the Unions to muscle about....

The CBC should be ONLY about news... "Connect with Mark Kelly"? "Power and Politics with Evan Sulomon"? Why am i funding a biased news group/org to the tune of billions of dollars? The CBC can remain, biased media should be eliminated. Do you wonder why only 6% of Canadian have trust in the Media???? We have 6% trust in what we fund with Taxpayer dollars????? HOW in the HELL does THAT make sense?

They are losing ground simply due to Mulcair..

The CBC is sickening and an emberasment to Media in general.. The CBC is the reason that Harper has almost tripple as much trust from Canadians than what they have in trust for the Media.

Its called splitting the vote... With Mulcair totally abscent (and off his rocker) and Justin coming in, Splitting the Vote has ensured another Harper Majority...

Cleaning and repairing schools is handled by Union contracts with SEPERATE unions.. this is VERY entrenched in the TDSB.. Tenders ONLY go out to Unionized contractors (hence the cost). Make the Cleaners and maintenance private, save money exponentially as we have seen with Garbage collection and use THAT money to hire a 3rd party "Evaluator" for the teachers. a completely sperate entity that would failry test the teachers 2 times a year. With over 70 percent of Canadian opposing any strike position for teachers,,, simply eliminate that option.. Again, " The poll, conducted from August 24 to 29, also notes that Canadians appear to favour removing teachers' ability to strike. More than seven in 10 of those polled believe teachers should be considered an essential service and should not have the right to strike.
