First complaint ever with Canadians

[Big Mikey]

Good luck Graham. If its any consolation, the way they hire at these resorts, the security guy is probably from out of country.

If all else fails Graham, have your son call me. (or you can). He is welcome here in Victoria for the rest of his time in Canada. It's not as exciting as a ski resort but cheaper than an unexpected plane ticket home, and less traumatic that heading home under a cloud and disgruntled at one unfortunate incident.

Thanks Steve, that's very thoughtful of you. He does love Canada and I envy him being there.
I'll email him and see if he likes the idea of Victoria.

Having spen a fair amount of time in both places, I think he would enjoy Victoria. Banff is a wonderful town, but seeing as it is tourist based, it can be a bit much for people living and working there. If he wants to stay on at a ski resort, why not tell him to go to one of the best in Canada (if not the world)....Whistler/Blackcomb

Thanks Colin, I have another Tassie friend who worked at Whistler, she really loved it. I'll pass it on.

Not suprising Graham, as Whistler is heavily staffed with Aussies and Kiwis. I have often wondered if there is actually anyone between the ages of 15-30 left in the South Pacific

Hi, Graham. I just woke up and got to work. I really hope that things work out for Daniel. That's a tough thing to have happen even when you're at home and have support close by, but even harder when you're by yourself in another country.

Perhaps the lad could begin a short term kiltmakers apprenticeship?

It's come to my attention that someone has got their knickers in a knot about me mentioning Canadians here.
Whoever that is needs to re read the post.
I began I've said before, I have enormous respect for Canadians, but one unknown individual has me annoyed. As someone pointed out, they may be Chinese or Japanese, Australian or even American...it's irrelevant!

then....quote: I'm just having a moan to friends, of course I don't blame Canadians, this kind of stuff goes on in every country.

Good grief, as if I need to spell this out!!
It was a story about my son who is in CA*AD*, the replies here have been thoughtful, generous, compassionate and helpful.
So where is the problem??????

OK I accept the last post of mine about an Australian detained by America for 5 years without charge or trial was hard for some to accept, I said delete it if the moderators choose to, and they chose to.

but a story about my son accused of theft is controversial because it happened in canada??

OK if it is, then Mike, delete the sodding lot and I'll just post about the new kilt I bought and how someone thought I looked silly in it but then someone else thought I looked cool........

good grief!

Maybe they need more fiber in their diet.

Don't sweat it Graham, you've been around long enough to know that some people can find something to whine about in any post in the database. Just chalk it up to someones having a bad day and needed to take it out on someone else.
