Dude, u need not get so butt hurt in c&c. Half of everything in here is bs and too much test. Although I do think to work in a country u should have a base understanding of the countries language. Otherwise Canada could never supply all the workers we need. And in 10 years we will need double the employees. Every major oil company in Canada is in expansion mode right now. Also I have significantly more schooling than grade 8. And I'm sure philipino's rarely eat dog or live in mud huts. They just want to work and support there families like everyone else. I have had many work for me.

Your grammar belies a different message, but I am willing to forgive that. For you to retract your previous racist comments begs the question..."why"? It's nice to know that you've had many philipinos work for you though. Perhaps you can sleep better at night. Maybe I need to employ more Mexicans to find redemption.

I appreciate it, but I couldn't do that in good conscience if I knew he'd be working amongst people that feel that foreigners that speak different languages and have different cultural habits were considered 2nd class citizens.

I raised my son differently.
