--- Quote from: Sheriff Roland on October 03, 2007, 09:10:25 am ---In just one class (my first one of the day, and the largest one in school - 24 kids) there are kids who's parents were born in: Congo, Canada, England, Jamaica, Italy, Egypt, Serbia, Rwanda, China, Salvador, Syria, Guatamala, Cameroon and Poland. I asked them. Nice start I'd say.
OK back to the grindstone.
Glad to hear they've got you puttin in more time at work there Jess!

Well we do have an international reputation, you know. Canada accepts roughly 1% of it's total population in immigrants each year ... some 350 000 people each and every year. So in the past 20 years, that would be like 7 million people .... and their kids (some a the kids were quick to add that they were BORN in Canada) are what makes up Canada. Of course, with virtually all of this pupulation choosing to live in the 3 largest cities, the rest of the country remains white-anglo or white-franco. But you're right about the make up of my world (Toronto) as having an international flavour.
And it should not come as a surprise to find that one of the detainies in the illegal American prison in Cuba is a Canadian citizen. He was captured and charged with killing American soldiers in Afghanistan when he was somethin like 14 years old. We have all kinds here. There's a trial goin on in Montreal right now charging someone for having had a part in the genocide in Rwanda 15(?) years ago.
Sheriff Roland:
Bonjour tout l'monde. Coment ça va aujourd'hui?
Received my retirement kit from the 'Teacher's pension plan' last night. (retirement's happening in less than 6 months). Seems I've got to do stuff I've been putting off ... like filing my income tax. Who knew?
Gonna be a full day today (3 phy ed classes and 3 music classes) and there's a(nother) meeting after school :P
Tomorrow's international teacher's day. This year's theme is (and I'm translating here...) "Better teaching conditions provides better learning conditions for kids"
injest:
good morning Roland
injest:
bonsoir, Roland
hope you get everything lined out and the transition goes smoothly.
When do you usually file income taxes up there?
