lol I don’t think CNC would have much to worry about.

Adult entertainment? So this would be … managing and otherwise working in pubs, nightclubs, casinos, etc.?

Why the euphemism? What exactly are they referring to?

Why can’t we talk about the real story? Why the need for euphemisms? Are there people under 19 on here posing as seniors?

I understand that “Federal Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said the law, which took effect July 4, bars strip clubs, escort services, and massage parlous from hiring foreign workers to keep the women from being exploited by criminals involved in human trafficking. Organizations fighting human trafficking in Canada have argued foreign workers are at risk because of their lack of language skills and vulnerability as temporary workers with limited immigration status.”

Thus, I uderstand, there is a shortage and apparently some clubs back east are recruiting in Canada.

Interesting aspect of the coming or already existing labour shorage.

This looks to me like a foolish, knee-jerk reaction. For one thing, on what basis can post-secondary institutions discriminate against recruiters for a legal occupation? I wonder if they aren’t opening themselves up to legal action. For another, do we really want schools to able to discriminate against industries they don’t like? What if they decide they don’t like the oil industry, or environmental organizations, or certain political parties? Finally, how does this solve the perceived problems with exotic dancing? Is it somehow better for exotic dancers to be recruited from less educated women?

I understand that the offer in Windsor is/was to pay tuition fees. Perhaps the Governement/Colleges should match that offer. :-)

Let’s see upgraded my math or take the 100k playboy is offering……tough choice.

Whereas it’s unlikely that those who run strip clubs or massage parlours would crawl out from the stone they occupy long enough to launch a law suit against CNC or UNBC, in the event a student was recruited by these pillars of society who subsequently met some sort of harm, the parents of said students undoubtedly raise holy hell.
And trust me, it isn’t PLayboy the Ministry is concerned about.

See? Universities and right wing governments are all for free thought and free will…

Also, this statement betrays the fact the government(s) of the day see University and College as nothing more than an extension of K-12. Such is the fraudulent arms race of credentialism in today’s Education Industrial Complex.

Perhaps they’ll allow the recruitment of Masters students? Especially those highly unemployable (except as political aides) MAs?

bohemian, shouldn’t you still be in mourning over Jack Layton?

You obviously do not know bohemian, RUEZ.

Hey, I do not mean to be sexist, BUT ….

For those with PhDs who are not employable at above $30,000/year ……

The guys become taxicab drivers …

And the gals become exotic dancers ….

The facts of life in a free enterprise society …… the emphasis is on the “free”, as in unregulated, aspect of enterprise …….

And here I thought college and university students were adults and are masters of their own destiny.

Fine line, isn’t it …… And I can remember when one could not bring Henry Miller’s writing across the border into this country from the sex craved haven of the yet to become powerful religious right.

LOL gus – Nope, RUEZ doesn’t know bohemian. Funny thing is I’m reading Atlas Shrugged at the moment and loving it. Dangerous…

Sorry, I just assume that anyone that takes a shot at right wing governments in a story that has nothing to do with them, must be a dipper.

Thanks CNC and UNBC. Without you, all of those college and university students would probably be thinking about sex.

Could not those potential exotic dancer employers put up a lemonade stand just off the property outside CNC and when the babes stop by for a drink of lemonade maybe the recruiters can then pounce on them and then try and sell these young ladies a “bill of goods?” Could happen.

“Also, this statement betrays the fact the government(s) of the day see University and College as nothing more than an extension of K-12. Such is the fraudulent arms race of credentialism in today’s Education Industrial Complex.

Hey, Bo, would you prefer your doctor, dentist, lawyer, auto-mechanic to uncredentialled?

No. In most other statements like that I offer the caveats of “trade” professions such as doctors, engineers, architects and nurses requiring strict standards of knowledge and performance.

Most of the credentialism arms race comes from employers (especially governments and larger businesses) that demand degrees but who’s positions really don’t require more than basic skills and the ability to learn on the job. That comment of mine was a tangent to the story that doesn’t really belong.

I’ll save it for the inevitable stories on tuition fee increases next year.

I’m all for investing in developing and certifying skills. I like trades and “trade” professions like above. But we have a crazy amont of kids in crazy amouts of debt with a piece of paper, no marketable skill and no job.

“adult entertainment” will be the only jobs left in our $$$green$$$ economy. sad but true. just a sign of the times.

Please be informed that MONEY wins elections; not promises. Ask Sherri Green.

Posted that on the wrong topic–sorry.

IMO this is a story about feminists creating a story for a problem that doesn’t exist in Prince George, so as to gain exposure for their agenda.

They could have just as easily not allowed undesirable recruiters to attend any job fair at the school… without the publicity.

Gus, you don’t know what free enterprise is.

It is not enterprise free of regulations… rather it is enterprise that has limited regulation to ensure a fair market based on competition and not monopolization that excludes competition.

Free enterprise is not free enterprise in a world of monopoly (ie unregulated) capitalism.
