Education For Invisible Minorities

test. sorry for the comments malfunction!

wonder if they teach law a the school . . . .

Canadian National is slapping another lawsuit on Mohawk protester Shawn Brant for blocking its main Toronto-to-Montreal rail line.

CN is suing for financial damages incurred when rail traffic was cancelled June 29, Hallman said.

The amount has not been specified, although CN has said that $103 million worth of freight is carried on the line during an average 24-hour period.

The best part is this:

"It spent $1.5 million on salaries, $800,000 on other expenses, and had an operating surplus of $177,000."

That's $1.5 million on salaries to teach and administer 104 students. To put it in perspective, that would work out to 30 people on salary of $50,000 for a school that offers at most 7 classes a day.

And being somewhat familiar with these things I guarantee the teachers are getting nowhere near that kind of pay.

Further, there is a reason why 65 international students have chosen to come to Canada and study things like Aboriginal Women's Studies, Nature of Racism and other esteemed subject matter. And that is to work.

The private university industry is one giant quid pro quo, where schools provide visas in return for cash.

People in Vancouver have no idea how much illegal activity is washing around this city, from growops to counterfeiters to immigration scams and laundering of offshore criminal proceeds.

No idea.

How many of those 65 are 20-ish muslim males?

Grand Chief Ed John of the First Nations Summit said the college may have taken in foreign students to make up the student quotas to qualify for government funding, which it's not supposed to do.

"IIG has for some time been under some difficult operating environment," he said.

"They tried to make a go of it."

For most non-native people, that would not be called trying to make a go of it, it would be called fraud. It depends on your perspective,I guess. After all, maybe it's part of their ancestral traditions, and who are we to judge?

/sarc off

sounds to me their were teaching criminality at that "school", either directly, or by example!!

One more thing. Forget about the foreign student issue for a second. Consider this: the government in its wisdom decided that it was a good idea to spend $20,000 PER student to enroll aboriginals in courses such as Aboriginal Women's Studies, Native Racism and Metis Studies.

That is how bureaucrats think and operate. Big budgets, little minds.

Give me $2,000,000 and I would have invited 100 disadvantage people to sit down with me and discuss good ideas for small businesses. We would have worked out pros and cons, a plan, budget and with that seed money done something productive. Some would have failed, some may have succeeded, and everyone would have learned something important about life, work and responsibility.

But give that kind of money to a politician and they will just piss it away.

Holy crap, 104 students and 1.5 million in teachers' salaries, and here I thought teachers were underpaid. Hah!

Hey, with no accountability, what do we expect!

Everyone if forgetting that in the international community, Aboriginal is a state of mind. This school was building solidarity to their brothers and sisters to continue the fight into the next generation.

Now why a Canadian Government was funding this subversive process, that is a good question. I would expect this type of action from Cuba.

In Manitoba it was the Virginia Fontaine Treatment Center, in BC it's this College,in Sask. it's........ as far as the National day of action is concerned it's not about under funding, its about every man or woman for themselves, by whatever means necessary.

I think that "international students", pay the "full cost" of whatever classes they are attending, and it's quite a bit more than the usual amount paid by the average canadian student.

so if normal university tuition for an international student, is more than $20,000. for a year, which I think it is.. as they are the majority at this school, it skews the figures these people are spending at this school.

and my question would be, is the budget released only for the costs of educating the students "within their mandate", and excluding the international and ahhh, "other" students?
