Over the next few weeks while speaking with friends about various issues of the day, pay attention to your comments. Are you saying oh well, it has been going on a long time, what can you do, you can’t fight City Hall or something else that is similar? We have become so accustomed to not doing anything for the greater good we just explain it away, or provide some creative justification to continue doing nothing. Sometimes people feel helpless, it is more work than they have time for right now, they don’t want to get involved, or a favorite, that is somebody else’s job. Really? Caring about what you see around you, doing something about it and wanting a better life for your kids is somebody else’s job? Whose?
Henry Ford once said,” if you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.” At first glance that may be a fence sitter position, however if you use it get yourself motivated, it is a rallying cry. You just need to pay attention and connect a couple of dots along the way to get started. Talking about it with friends, posting in Cornwall Free News and sending an email to a politician are all perfect and expected of citizens in a democratic society. So would be joining a group with similar concerns. We certainly see that with hundreds of Francophone groups, the majority of which are funded by all taxpayers including you.
Something that you may take exception to and want to get involved with is how French services are being guaranteed politically, legally and financially. The Ontario French Language Services Commissioner is on record saying “. A designated agency or program provides its supplier with legal immunity that protects it from changes in the economic and political climate”. As far as I know, Ontario does not have an English only government agency or entity, and if there were, they could be shut down in seconds, unlike these “first class” entities and agencies who signed on to the French Languages Services Act.
I am not saying shut down French services, I am saying fairness to all taxpayers has vanished but paying for it is still up to all taxpayers. Jobs are increasingly bilingual but the numbers of bilingual citizens outside of Quebec has stayed stagnant or dropped. Ontario revoked the fairness is a 2 way street act in 2006 allowing more Quebec residents to find work here, should the Ontario government not help its citizens first before other provinces? Certainly Quebec does! Go ahead, get involved or just say, “if you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.”

@ bella. Have you driven through downtown Toronto, or across Canada to Vancouver lately?
On the TransCanada highway? Yes. Lots of bilingual signage on the TransCanada highway. Have you? Why the reluctance to admit that TransCanada highway system in Quebec can be a nightmare to navigate if you are unilingual English?

Yes bella, I’ve driven to the west coast and back many times, the last time being last summer. And when driving to the east coast, I always skirt around Montreal to avoid traffic tie-ups. When driving in Montreal, I stay off the main highways just because it’s far more relaxing. I know you don’t want to hear this, but as a unilingual Anglo, I have no difficulty navigating the roads in Quebec. That must make me a complete jerk, no?

“Hungry by his approach would create a whole new bureaucracy.
Imagine the millions or perhaps billions to do the research thought Canada.”
How can this approach cost millions and need another layer of bureaucracy? The Patient Registration Bureaucracy is already existing. The computer programs are already in use at each Hospital in Ontario.
“Do you require SERVICE IN FRENCH OR ENGLISH?”
They ask what Religion you belong to. Why not the Language for Service?
At the end of the day Local Hospitals can tell tell you how many Catholics, Protestant, Jewish, Atheist etc.. But can’t answer how many French or English patients was served and in which language.
How expensive and difficult can it be to add a few additional questions to an existing process? NO need to recreate but to redirect for a different outcome. No more money or new bureaucracy needed.
“We already having the measuring tool Stats Canada Data .Why create a whole new bureaucracy and the costs that go with it .”
As I have demonstrated above there is no need to recreate a new bureaucracy. The present measuring tool is inefficient to measure fairly to achieve of the objective of making Hiring Policies more reflective to the population.
What the present DATA does not answer is an estimate of how many of the 9,500 French-speaking residents in Cornwall will UTILIZE FRECH SERVICES.
Not all 9,500 French-speaking residents will UTILIZE French Services all together today. Some may never use the service. Some may use it once a year. Some every 3 years. How do we know? The Data an actual USAGE is presently not available.
The present Stats Can Data is based on EXPECTED USAGE not ACTUAL USAGE.
“Then all that data must be correlated and processed by stats Canada city by city, town by town for those numbers to be implemented .”
Absolutely no need to have Statistic Canada involved in this process. This is individual Local Public Institution DATA. Compiled by the existing Patient Registration Bureaucracy. Statistical Data is generated as a REPORT. No correlation and implementation required. The REPORT is generated for the purpose to assist Local Administration to determine Staff language requirements based on ACTUAL USAGE DATA that will allow them to draft fair reflective to population Hiring Policies.
“How many years would it take to first of all get approval ,then create the bureaucracy ,then go town to town city to city. Lets not forget to implement suggested changes accordingly ,then panel reviews .”
NONE OF THIS IS ACCURATE NOR RELEVANT TO THE SUGGESTED PROCESS.
“Once again its like the highway traffic act .The government sets the legislation and
speed limits are set by the government and not the police officers.”
Your example would be relevant if the FLAO did not leave it to Local administration to “SET THE SPEED LIMIT”, in this case it LEGALLY requires that LOCAL AUTHORITIES set and determine. Utilizing the inadequate Provincial Calculation Formula based on Stats Can DATA. They must evaluate, determine and implement Staff language requirements.
“The provincial and federal government by not setting standards with regards to hiring practices under legislation has in essence allowed those government entities to set the standards.”
In this case two things can happen. One can continue laying blame. Or, attempt to suggests formulas that could possibly be offered to the government by Local Public Institutions as a correction. Which could render the PROVINCIAL CALCULATION FORMULA Based on the inadequate and limited STATISTIC CANADA DATA, more reflective in each individual
local community in Ontario. The Government has set standards with the inclusion of a faulty measuring tool based on inadequate non reflective data that Local Authorities utilize.

Hey stella not just new York city but even small hospitals in remote area’s IT’S CALLED SERVICE, and its not only Spanish but services in many languages.
If they can provide for many languages why must Ontario Hospitals only provide for ONE and hire disproportionate to the population for this?
A simple explanation for a simple mind:
So is it better to have one ice cream choice outside of vanilla or 170 different choices ,now which would be deemed better service and choice ?
You see folks its not really about linguistic services that the french services language act was enacted but to put forth an agenda whereby ALL Ontarian’s must assimilate for those job opportunities!
If it were about linguistic services :Hospitals would provide language services beyond that one language when clearly the capability is there for many more!

“And that’s the issue that translation services could serve the issue of language servicing.”
I think your right to consider what is being suggested by others and consider the option of Linguistic Translation.
Let me know when you have done the numbers on the additional costs to create a new bureaucracy to administrate this service. The supplemental expense that will be required to hire additional Translation Staff per shift. Administration will have to increase budgets to provide a service that uni-lingual staff can not provide.
But hey, it may work. Or they’ll want to hire Trilingual Staff instead of Bilingual. Local Administration might value the suggestion to spend additional money to accomplish what they are presently accomplishing with unfair Hiring Practices.
Asking Administration to budget additional Staff dollars doesn’t seem like a strong motivating argument at making these unfair Hiring Practices go away any time soon. But, I’ve been wrong before.
It’s worth a try…..
Thank-You for your reply and thoughts.
I appreciate it.

I predict a civil war if things don’t shape up, and quickly. It’s getting very scary to watch my hometown fall to pieces like it is.”

“Yet Pastagate was one of the biggest stories out of Quebec in the early part of the year, when tourists would be planning their summer vacations.
A Montreal-based media-monitoring service, Influence Communication, reported less than a week after the story broke that it had been the subject of 350 articles in 14 foreign countries as far away as Australia, and more than that in Canada.”

“My 17 year old son was handcuffed and thrown in the back of a police car and when I asked why I was give the excuse from the cop that he was in Quebec and didn’t need to speak English. Few things wrong here…. First they never read him his rites. Second they interrogated him without me or a lawyer present. Third they refused to tell me what was going on in English. There is something seriously wrong in this province where police can get away with treating the English like this and more importantly violating the rites and breaking the law them selfs. When in the hell is the Federal government going to set this province strait? I’m tired of being treated like a second class citizen in this province.”

The American hospitals have a per service usage ,no NEED for an additional Bureaucracy well unless your a liberal.
Services can be provided in well over then a hundred different languages .
Translation does not have to require additional staff but implement technology -Hell I know Canadian Hospitals are 20+ years behind in technology but they do not have to stay in the dark ages.
But then again its not really about providing linguistic services but to apply THE AGENDA -All we Ontarian’s will be assimilated THE STATE WILL ENSURE THAT.

but please quit this DISPICABLE CHILDISH BEHAVIOUR.
It doesn’t do you justice, it insults your own intelligence.
howard again you didn’t check the facts. The father posted a video on his facebook and in my opinion, was being very arrogant with the police. He understood everything the officer said plus the police told them they were being detained for investigation. HAd my son been arrested like that, I would have been ALOT more hysterical. Is he possibly looking for ways to get his son off?. Could it be that possibly the father knew the EXACT reason why his son was being detained. Encore une fois, une tempête dans un verre d’eau. All I could do is speculate… But if the officer couldn’t speak english you should not judge him. I learned at a very young age that if you are being arrogant with the police, they can be arrogant .right back.. But, in this case the officer was very professional, calm and respectful.
some people when they hear: I’m sorry I don’t speak french ?¨ Now that sentence is ok, because we are just a minority. But when a french guys says” Je m’excuse, je ne peux que te parler en français¨ Well that sentence is a crime against nature.

So your being very ambiguous in that statement ,like most of your statements thereby open for interpretation!
Much like a how politician works :ambiguous statement in which the interpreter feels that the politician is actually personally listening and interpreting their views and understands what they mean.
Then when those actions are not done the politician can advise that person “well that’s not exactly what I said” or “that was not my understanding”.
Did you talk to The presidents chief of staff ?
Did you talk to the state department ?
Did you get through to the white house?

@ Stella. Are you suggesting that Highlander might be The Big G? It would explain a lot.
HFTT…perds pas ton temps avec elle, elle aime ca brasser la merde. Elle n’a jamais rien d’important a dire. Ca fait deux ans que je l’ignore…..peut etre trois **sourire**

He never does. He takes any article and when he sees French bashing, he post it without telling the entire story and how it went down.
HFFT…..I said that…….For an idiot it can be difficult. **smile** but I am ahead of the game, I speak both official languages.”
Sorry HFTT…..just wanted to correct it, before they have you in front of a firing squad. I NEVER CALLED ANYONE AN IDIOT. It was a reply to ” How would an unilingual English person not understand DECARIE BVLD. on a sign.

“That was to be your research not mine as you did commit to it!!!!!!!”
But it’s your insists on this thing that for the 7th time I have tried to lay this to rest. What part of my answer are you not understanding of refusing to understand. If it’s so important to you that you continue posting about it than post what you so
urgently want to debate and I’ll evaluate. I don’t need to know what they are doing in the USA and in Quebec and in New Brunswick and in Alberta and in Manitoba to know that it has nothing to do with unfair Hiring Policies in CORNWALL Ont.

Some times we have to accept the answers provided, even if they don’t satisfy us. As they say we have to live with it.

Yes like the earth is the center of our planetary system.
Yes like you sail across the ocean and you fall off into oblivion in 1492.
Yes man was made in 6 days and we didn’t evolve.
And the list goes on…. Just except those answers provided even if they do not satisfy us …..with that mentality science and humans innate needs to understand things around them we would still be with stone tools and living in caves.
“I don’t need to know what they are doing in the USA and in Quebec and in New Brunswick and in Alberta and in Manitoba to know that it has nothing to do with unfair Hiring Policies in CORNWALL Ont.”
It is provincial policy with unchecked implementation measures that has created unfair hiring in Cornwall.
Language laws in any form remain oppressive it should be up to the individual choice and not the state through legislation to encourage assimilation.
These unfair language laws do not only effect Cornwall but Nationally.
But your statement infers your closed mindedness as solutions to issues are not only exclusive to the realms within reach but one must “look outside the box” and find solutions to these problems .
The United States hospital provides linguistic services not just for one but for well over 100 through superior service of technology.
This remains very relevant to the subject as the conditions of unfair hiring were to provide linguistic services to only ONE GROUP.
But we all know that it has nothing to do with providing linguistic services to that one language group but to apply “THE AGENDA” AND ENCOURAGE ASSIMILATION FOR JOB OPPORTUNITIES.
I’m thinking it’s high time for another letter to the editor.

“No bella, I stick with my claim. No mistake from me. You were not responding to stella but to me. Unless you can give the post that stella called you an idiot you are clearly responding to me. HFTT. I don’t know if you are highlander in diguise or felling the need to take things out of context, or if you just made a mistake so tell me before this goes any further.”
I provided your proof.

“HFTT wrote: How difficult can it be to find “Boulevard Decarie” in English” on a French sign.”
“For an idiot it can be difficult. **smile** but I am ahead of the game, I speak both official languages.”
This is not addressed to bella.
This is a general statement.
{MODERATED}
So again BELLA I Stand by my claim.
If what you claim was true that you were directing your comments to Stella then why do you call STELA GENTLEMEN in your post. There is no Ladies and Gentlemen.
“So gentlemen, please refrain from amending my posts so that they fit your idea of the world and what you think I meant. Richard said “actually go to Quebec.” I was merely pointing out that he was mistaken in his assumptions yet again”. bella August 5, 2013 at 7:59 am
So are you Highlander in disguise or are you just wrong.
@furtz
Sometimes life is inspired by movies. Or does movies inspire life?
Sometimes to understand someone’s behaviours and comments
one can turn to a movie. It can entertain us and inform us.
One that’s worth watching is Minny Me.
