I don’t know why we always have to ‘fire’ someone. Every situation has different circumstances.
It is however obvious with this incident and others in the past, that information like should be under more security protocol.
One day they may lose something vital, like Harper’s prewritten speeches and the whole government will fall.
Someone is responsible for this. It is not a minor indiscretion. It is a serious breach of trust. In the real world (outside the world of government), this would not be taken lightly.
It all depends on circumstances. As an example: If a worker took information home with him and in the process his or her ‘locked’ car was broken into and the briefcase and contents stolen then it’s not the person’s fault. If the same person was taking the information home and stopped at a bar and left their coat and briefcase in an unsecured check room and the briefcase was stolen…..then it would be their fault for not taking due care of the external drive in the briefcase. Then in another incidence if there is a rule you cannot take information home to work on and someone did and their car was broken into…then they would be at fault because they broke the security rule in place.
All….situations have their own circumstances.
Name me one politician the does not use pre-written speeches.
Lots do….many do…..most do. I only mentioned Harper because he has everything ‘scripted’, even interviews. It has been well reported in the past that even those interviews are controlled. Many other politicians are much more open and a lot less secretive. Long ago when Harper was first starting out he said a lot and what he said has come back to haunt him and much of what he said then….he is trying to enforce now. So the man hasn’t changed his stripes at all. However when he got elected at the CON leader he changed and became much less open. I’ve often wondered if that was his decision of that of one of his handlers.
As for student loans I don’t know much about them. I don’t have a friend who has a son who I could discuss it with. The only thing I know about student loans is a kid I met about 15 or so years ago. He got a student loan, but his parents were actually paying for University. However he did look cool on campus in his…….Corvette.
I think the ‘assumptions’ that all young people go out and play beer pong, or even drink is far fetched.
Even at "tim's" for the summer 40 hours @ $10 an hour is $400 a week.
If you're talking about after graduation then that’s before taxes of course and the cost of getting there and the cost of a health plan which some Timmy’s have. Also there is also….if you can get a job at a Timmy’s. I know two people who work at two different locations and one is the wife of one of my employees. Both say that Tim owners are not interested in students with degrees etc because they don’t stay. They would rather find someone who will stay with the franchise for years.
Living at home (where students should be in the summer) is rent free (or again should be) and at least 8 weeks off in the summer should have no problem putting at least $2500 away for the following year.
Why should a student live at home in the summer? Hard to believe that some parents feel that way. A student should be exploring the world (hopefully working at the same time) and experiencing new people and new surroundings. I find this opens their minds at a critical point in their lives….one that may not happen again. I also find that people who travel and experience the world and other people are also less likely to become bigots.
As for staying at home rent free……well that’s just another way of instilling entitlement into young people. If you work….you pay for room and board. It’s a good lesson in life.
Of course there are always those countries such as France, Argentina, Brazil, Denmark (that welfare State), Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Spain, Sri Lanka and others where post secondary education is ……..Free.
Confidential information like this should not be "taken home".
A lot of people do because there is not enough time during the day to get work done and we now live in a world of technology and increasingly more work is being done at home. I know several people in professions where they would have sensitive information and many of them …..work from home.
Are you aware that Obama is asked questions by reporters after some of his news conferences. The reporters are chosen in advance and the questions are known in advance.
Probably he does but he is far more open than Harper. Obama will face questions from the press….unscripted. Harper will do a few press scrums but the press has complained of his handlers making sure the wrong questions are not asked and many reporters are not allowed in the scrums. If you don’t know that then you are behind on information.
Been to Richmond Row on Friday and Saturday night……..etc etc
Been there many times. Have you been to the UWO library on a Friday or Saturday night? I have. It’s loaded with students studying and taking life seriously for their future. To talk about student loans and then the only example that can be brought up are students and beer pong is the sign of a one-way street mind.
Italy, Greece, Spain: all doing great economically? Scotland is tied to Britain's economy which is not great.
Their economy has nothing to do with post secondary education costs. You really have to look past the table full of childrens sports cards and read up on the rest of the world and the information pertaining to it.
My son's boss and the owner of his Timmies love him
No doubt they do. How old is your son?
