Although I am not currently in one of the trades you are looking into, I am an applicant as well. Were you given any information on preparing for your interview? There is a link for this within this site, it gives you questions that you should know the answers to when looking into your trade...

That is a good question, I am sure that a quick call to the North Bay Recruitment Center would answer your question more thoroughly. It does include an area on the application form to write down a projected graduation from a course; that being said, I am not sure if they would accept your...

I apologize. I am well aware of the fact that "expecially" is not a word, x is near the s. This is what happens when you type without morning coffee!

I am by no means an expert, so take what I say with a grain of salt. This week, expecially, can be a super busy time for recruitment centers, and that might mean that updated complete lists of open trades might not be the first thing they have at hand. That being said, there may be no change in...

Small question: has anyone heard anything else in regards to LDA? Just wondering, although it probably wouldn't show up in the CANFORGEN for pay increases. Just wondering if someone knew.

It happens! I went and looked at the calendar, that's the only reason I know!  :)

Yes, I imagine that they would be closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday. Luckily most of the time off is weekend, so they'd be closed anyway.

Ha, I guess so. I sometimes think that we have a little less of the conservative-traditional viewpoint within the government that we see in the US. Although so much of their culture seems to leak into Canada.

Interesting, and so relevent. I hope that this image is changing. (I'd love to see shows like Jersey Shore go off the air! That and Sixteen and Pregnant- I was hoping at one point that show would send a better message, but it doesn't seem to, though I will admit I have never sat through an...

From my experience, when I spoke with the National Recruitment center, they were able to give me information on my file, whether it was open or not, and also spoke with me on talking to my local recruitment center. I have found the guys in North Bay to be very helpful in letting me know...

Maybe the folks at that recruitment center are taking their March break, which isn't out of the ordinary. You could still try calling the National Recruitment center, they might be able to answer your questions in regards to your application.

It is interesting that for the first time it seems that the PCs actually have competition in the province. The only caveat to this is the idea of "coffee shop" politics that seems to dominate in the rural areas of Alberta. The "I voted for Jim because Jim lives down the road, or I know Jim's...

I think that those terms are often interchangeable because often the "white pride" person gets intertwined with the "white supremacist" more often than not. Run a Google search for "white pride" and see what pops up. That being said, no, white people are not the only racist people in the world...

I agree with you on that point that it is a slippery slope. In terms of my children, I think it is my responsibility to teach them proper sexual health education. I think this comes easily for me, as I do not have to wrestle with a religious belief, and I think that would be a difficult thing to...

The "problem" the way that many conservative Americans view it, is that by showing someone considering an abortion a video on the procedure, or by requiring someone to have an internal ultrasound to view the fetus, that they will be overtaken by emotion and a sense of bonding, and therefore...

Yes, teachers are asked, everyday, on a regular basis, all sorts of opinion based questions on a number of things that most people wouldn't ask their friends and colleagues in social situations. And yes, teachers have to answer. Answering you have to make your own choice to a thirteen year old...

Amazing. I thought it funny that the anti-racism protesters actually followed the white supremacists from LRT entrance to LRT entrance downtown. I guess it just proves the (hopeful) change in people's opinions! Nice that everything in the end went down fairly peaceful, and no one was injured.

My problem with sexual health education within the school system is the bias that can be held. It is very difficult for a teacher, educating young people, on proper sexual health education. I do not believe, for the most part, that proper sexual health education is being taught in schools. (that...

You would be surprised. To contradict your statement on sexual education in schools, I would say this. I am a junior high teacher, and have taught health education previously. Where I taught, there was no talk of sexual education classes. In some schools and school districts, if there are a...

I have found that in my time on Earth, and call me a waffler, that I honestly don't know if I could decide, unequivocally, that I am a complete pro-life or pro-choice person. I've have laid witness to many girls that have chosen to use abortion as a method of birth control. I can remember saying...
