The costs of Duality and Bilingualism in Canada

I doubt very many people ever heard of the People’s Alliance of New Brunswick or Kris Austin for that matter. Last year though, he spoke of how expensive duality is in cost and to people. Not actual bilingual service, but separate buildings, administration and associated costs to provide for each language on an individual basis. Just like the rest of Canada, few people want to discuss it, but are ecstatic to help with every other culture. We have Black history month, Asian heritage month, National Aboriginal history month, Women’s history month, Multiculturism day, National Acadian day, National Aboriginal day, and Aboriginal Awareness Week (is not even in the Aboriginal history month by the way). Ontario is not to be out done with 6 special months and several special days representing Canada’s multiculturism which continues to show our openness I assume.

But no one wants to talk about how this duality is morphing into separate buildings, administration and having the majority learn another language or, increasingly, no job for you. Bilingual services are one thing away from Quebec, but when the percentage of bilingual speakers in Canada stays well below 20% for decades (most of which are in Quebec only), when do we make a change or at least discuss the actual need? Our Canadian government has prepared another billion dollars plus road map towards showing the world our duality strategy. But we only talk about providing more, not what we actually need and, why we use Visa to pay Mastercard for all of this. http://www.pch.gc.ca/eng/1358263602229

Riverview Mother Christine Wood charged in connection with 2009 newborn death of Baby Taylor

A 30-year-old Riverview woman Christine Margaret Wood has been charged in connection with the discovery of the body of a newborn baby boy found on Taylor Road near Monteagle, N.B. in 2009.

On May 18, 2013, Wood appeared via telephone remand in Provincial Court and was charged with concealing the body of a child. The police allege that the woman disposed of the dead body of her child with the intent to conceal the fact that she had given birth to him. The police were led to Wood via information received over the course of the investigation. She was arrested in Hillsborough on May 17 without incident.

The newborn’s body was discovered in a snow bank on Taylor Road on April 4, 2009. Riverview RCMP and the RCMP’s Major Crime Unit have been investigating to try to determine the identity of the child and the circumstances surrounding his death. The baby is legally known as Baby Boy Doe but became known as Baby Taylor in the weeks following the discovery of his body based on the name of the road where he was found.

Christine Margaret Wood was remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear in Moncton Provincial Court on May 21, 2013 at 1:30 p.m. for a bail hearing.
