By Beth Trudeau,
Now that the public's eyes have been fully opened to Canada Post's policy of promoting and hiring French speaking postmasters under the guise of "bilingualism", even in towns where "numbers do not warrant", the ensuing outrage had caused Canada Post to rehire Mrs. Barr at lower wages as a part time delivery person, then she was given back her job, until such a time that Canada Post can find another job of equal pay and hours for her to switch to.
There is more to this "ethnic cleansing" going on at Canada Post than has been made public knowledge by the press at the time of this letter.
On December 19, 2009, the day after Mrs. Barr in Pakenham was temporarily re-instated, the Christmas luncheon for the Canadians for Language Fairness was held
Along with Howard Galganov and Jean Serge Brisson, who are both fighting for our freedom of expression, the other speaker was a Mr. Barr.
No, he was not the husband of the postmistress in Pakenham. He is the husband of a woman who gets up bright and early and goes to the Russell post office to SORT MAIL, part time, before the birds are chirping. A couple of months ago, she was notified that she MUST become bilingual and she has not been called into work since. This is in the town of Russell, you know, the ENGLISH-speaking town in Russell Township.
Being that the names of those involved in both Russell and Pakenham are the same makes one wonder if Canada Post is on a mission at the present time - reviewing English names on their payroll and going after them one by one. They are obviously on the "Bs".
These blatant acts of anti-English-speaker sentiment by Canada Post mirror those of another Crown Corporation, VIA Rail. Very little was reported, as is par in the press, about a legal challenge this summer by VIA Rail employees in Winnipeg, Alberta and British Columbia, attempting to maintain their jobs on the run from Winnipeg to British Columbia, because they did not speak French. Even though there is always AT LEAST one person on every train that speaks French, they lost their lawsuit. Now one cannot even be unilingual English to work on a train, EVEN out west.
Does anyone care how these English-speaking employees fare emotionally? The stress of knowing your job can be taken away at any time because you are English-speaking. Knowing that you have never, in three years, had a complaint, but are not good enough to keep it, because of being unilingual English. Knowing that even with wasting taxpayers' money and doing French language training, in a town where there are no French, how does one retain it? Only four out of every 100 Ontario residents are French speaking and the proportion is even lower out west.
Are our English-speaking children suffering the same feelings of inferiority and shame if they're not able to handle the French language? Is that why the bar for provincial testing has been lowered so much? Is that why our children are not prepared for college or university in basic courses such as math and sciences? Is French Immersion benefiting or hindering our youth, both educationally and emotionally?
MP Gordon O'Connor thinks this is acceptable, shifting qualified employees to another job because of being English. Our organization, Canadians for Language Fairness, say it is absolutely NOT acceptable.
If one cannot even sort mail without being "bilingual", what job could there be higher up the chain? What jobs does the government social engineers have in mind, exactly, for English-speaking Canadians if we cannot even sort mail?
It is time for those who believe in language fairness and who are against the BILLIONS of OUR tax dollars being wasted in French language training process, to contact Canada Post, Via Rail, MPs, MPPs, and all types of media.
This discrimination WILL continue unless we say enough is enough and it is time to stop this social engineering. It happened in Quebec in the 1970's, remember? Quebec said NO to bilingualism and so must we.
Anyone concerned with Quebec separating should look at what will happen if the western provinces get fed up with this social engineering, and say THEY will separate. They already have a provincial Wild Rose Party that is leading the Conservatives in Alberta.
With Richmond British Columbia being requested to put up bilingual signs in their town for the Olympic tourists and given OUR tax dollars to do it, in an attempt to give the illusion that Canada is more French than it really is, along with the hundreds of students from La Cite Collegial that are heading out to work at the Olympics because they are "bilingual", we should be much more concerned with the only "have" province throwing in the towel because of the language issue.
Then where will we "Eastern Bums and Scums" be?
