Sounds like the judge found Terry Kilrea’s testimony unreliable. His testimony was the key to the whole case, when it went down nothing else much mattered.

It appears from what I’ve read the only thing O’Brien was guilty of was being naive. Meeting a mayoral rival in a very public place to talk about the election very easily gave the appearance that something shady was going on. O’Brien was an outsider to the political process before being mayor, so his naivete is not surprising in a way, but a smart guy like him, you’d still think he’d know better.

He assumes his brother can get him a job but I don’t think he realizes just how many people work in gov’t in Ottawa. They all can try and hook up their friends and family but it’s not going to work for everyone.

His job in Toronto does suck but really for what he’s looking for (basic admin work) it’s not that hard to find employment here.

Oh God

This sounds like when my good (dummy) friend moved to Calgary because his dad’s idiot financial planner told him that he could be making 200K in no time because of the oil boom. No surprise, he’s making less than he was in Toronto and is miserable because all of his high school friends live in Vancouver and all of his university friends live in Toronto.

So despite us sending him salary information and tonnes of stuff daily he did it anyway. All you can do is call him repeatedly when you and your friends are having a great time until he regrets the move so much that he comes back. We’re still working on this part.

Think of it this way

They teach us that lecturing is wrong… like you can’t sit there and have kids be inactive and unengaged with your material.

So I just ask a lot of leading questions, which in reality are rhetorical… but I give them a chance to respond, and use them to continue the lesson along the progression I want it to take.

I wouldn’t do that in front of an administrator though.

Ok well

Like I said… depends on the subject.

Also in a 7-8 class you’ll have smaller class sizes, so it won’t be quite such a big deal. Different environment. You wouldn’t want to lecture a lot with kids that age anyway.

I’d consider teaching but I’m American and don’t want to get shot so I chose a safer profession.

Meh teaching in the states wouldn't be so bad

I’m qualified down there. I did my teachers college at Canisius, so I’m certified nationally. I can teach in any of the 50 states.

I said can.

Not that I’m about to try. I have a contract in Toronto so I’m fine for now.

Okay people

I must leave you all now to go do stuff. Try to carry on without me. And Chemmy, do let me know who you suggest I sleep with.
