The head of a Montreal-area teachers' union and peace activists have teamed up to oppose a drive by the Canadian navy to convince elementary school children they should be part of the next generation of sailors.

    Navy is a hell of a lot better than what most children growing up these days are going to be doing. Minimue wage job with some useless English degree hanging over their bed

    Love the picture............ Not.

    If these so called journalists want to discuss the Canadian Military you'd think they'd at least be able to get a photo of a Canadian Warship. But then again finding an archive picture of any warship must have been a pretty big accomplishment for the CBC.

    When did serving your country become an evil thing?

    Meh anytime you pull things away from kids and tell them not to do it because its bad, it only just intrigues them.

    Sets a bad example thou. The same people who are behind the revoking are the same ones who complain about the US invading other countries and expect the US to defend us.

    More often then not though, Quebec + Teachers/Students = Anti-Military, forget actually learning something about the military before dismissing it. That would require understanding and listening to an opposing view point.

    Im not generalizing I understand there are many people who live in Quebec that receptive towards the military. :roll:

    Gee, telling kids how they can secure some hi-tech training for free and get paid(well) for doing it, building self esteem, traveling the world and gaining valuable life experiences, while learning to work as part of a team.

    These are all bad things according to the social engineers running the education system. It puts their friends in social services out of a job.

    Well considering where this is happening, it's a good thing we aren't experiencing hostilities with the Germans.

    Question. Are other companies or services allowed to recruit in schools?

    The police, firefighters and such are always invited into the schools.

    It'd be a good thing for kids to see examples from throughout the workforce, including professionals and blue collar workers. they need to see how interconnected we all are from the grocery store clerk up to a CEO, and everthing in between...if it's feasible.
