Re: Teaching jobs in Canada?

My youngest is going into French Immersion next year.

Partly it's too keep his brain occupied - he's very bright - but it's also to keep alive the French culture that comes from his mother's side...

Re: Rhubarb

We've got lots of rhubarb - seems to grow well out here. My wife makes a great rhubarb and apple (or strawberry) pie.

Re: D - Day June 6 1944

When I went to a WW2 graveyard in Normandy I was overwhelmed by how much emotion I felt just reading the names and ages of the dead - both British and German.

Re: best bargain ever !!!

Sorry - I'm another "sucker" who always points out a mistake at the cash register - whether it's in my favour or not.

Most of the time I shop with my kids and just could not look them in the face...

You're right - my experience is with the Separate system.

One way to get in is to start by subbing (substitute...

Re: Primary school teaching in alberta

I became a teacher just when the Klein Government was hatcheting education in the early 90's. There's always jobs.

Re: University for Canadian born kids

My sister may be going back 'cos her OH may be offered a contract back in the UK, so they would be living there and paying taxes for a good few years.

Re: University for Canadian born kids

It's explained there - I've already read the wiki - but not discussed.

Re: And Realtors wonder why they are despised....

Yes this person is a scumbag, and deserves more than a slap on the wrist. But does that mean all realtors are scumbags?
