  1. Bitching about PC fawning somehow loses intensity when the complainer uses PC words such as “tradespeople”. Or maybe his complaint is that there’s only four and not more being hired..

  2. Hey, it is a big deal. Can you imagine how difficult it is to find four aboriginal tradespeople who would be qualified to work for the Irvings and who could get papers from the unions?

  3. In the heart of oil country most Indians work. Those living on reserves are less likely to work. The interesting thing about reserves in oil country, and you have to listen carefully, is that Indians in oil country don’t want the projects to stop. They just want to extort some free cash.
    Why they work more in Alberta has to do with the ability to make $ 40-60-80-100,000 with 2 arms and 2 legs. When the option is work for minimum wage or welfare, the choice is obvious. In Alberta, we don’t call a national holiday when an Indian gets a job. Does Irving realize than these guys have an ironclad guarantee against firing.

    Good question. Here’s another.
    Why is There Always a Don Martin?”

  5. Good question Frank! it has been a long time since I have faced a face picture of the rotund wee fellow I completely forgot his existence. Notwithstanding there is now more to forget it will hopefully be just as long until I have to face the picture again. Hopefully there will only be one face the next time.
    Naturally it will remain two-faced, but a double photograph times two faces is more than an aware observer should have to bear. Cheers;

  6. Indians used to be great steel workers, are there any left. there was a special graduation at the Royal Military College for a few Indians. a special sort of cadet program. I have not been able to find much about it.

  7. Are Indians children who need constant adulation and coddling?
    If you’re into the “noble savage”/paternalistic racism, then, yes, they are.
    Tell Don Martin to grow up and get a clue.

  8. Well let’s wait until the day after the first payday before we start celebrating. Just in case.
