Engineering student rejected by Canadian school for being Israeli

If I could have seen how Canada had changed during the 14 plus years I was back in SA, I would never have returned here. A friend, then head prof of chemistry at UCT, had done a year of exchange lecturing at UBC and did warn me, but I couldn’t conceive of the changes that had taken place. By the way, when back in SA I did further studies at Wits, a final year business course. Of the four major assignments we were given I got the top mark in three, but it didn’t do me any good in Canada. Suddenly I was too dense!
How could people turn what was a good country into such a flipping mess?
This is today an astoundingly intolerant society – unless you conform to what they consider good, and what they consider good too often is rubbish. Hence what your friend’s daughter experienced at UBC. I wasn’t asked such questions. Disgusting discrimination and what a mindset, but what’s new? Talk about their stereo-types – that here is condemned – and then practice it themselves. About 25 years ago on tv I saw a man who was introduced as Canada’s leading sociologist. He informed us that “Canadian don’t believe in anything much anymore. When people don’t believe in “anything much anymore” why would they fight for anything, for e.g. against injustice, true injustice, to get rid of disgusting Human Rights Commissions, stop courts creating laws and put this responsibility back in parliament, look after the persecuted Christians and Yazidis of Iraq and Syria, etc.

Very nice to hear from you. The only family I have here is my son (and the children’s mother who has issues). Their father died in June 2010, 6 days after having minor lower abdominal hernia surgery in Bowmanville’s Lakeridge Hospital. Considerable negligence by two doctors. I then fought the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons for two years. They simply covered and protected the doctors. Thank God my son lives with me and gives me a hand. This society has gone so nuts I could never let these children land up in a foster home when in Ontario ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ are obsolete words! My wife died trapped by fire in our home when for my son’s 11th birthday I had taken him to watch a NHL game in Toronto. I smelt a rat, investigated and despite incessant lies all round after 3 plus months discovered she’d phoned 911 for help and they messed up. I eventually got on national tv, exposed a huge mess, forced an inquest and in it, on my own, beat up the liars – from 5 bureaucracies – all over again.

Before we came back to Canada, the only test we didn’t have to do was a brain scan. Total discrimination be assured! Bogus ‘refugees’ have been allowed in with no tests and brought in diseases. I know, a Canadian friend’s son almost died of something uncommon in Canada! Then because we had lived here before, the RCMP had to investigate us – and that took 3 months! Just consider who just walk in!
Re running any business in Canada is made difficult because it is now an absurdly over-regulated country, absurdly bureaucratic and hopelessly inefficient – almost Third World level! And yes, the socialist mentality that has developed has created a disgusting expectation of freebees – and little expectation of personal responsibility. Was not like this when I first came here.

I’ll look up http://www.belizeandback.com and contact you. Ja, en alles van die beste.

Thanks very much for your kind word. Honesty and integrity has died, so it seems that lies and fabrications
are second nature. If I didn’t have a very determined temperament these
various bureaucracies would have got away with their messes involving the
fire.
However, life goes on and I don’t spend life down in the dumps, but in all honesty, after these experiences cannot say I ooze enthusiasm for the country. Nevertheless, my attitude is one of ‘Never give in and never lose your humour’. We’ll talk again.
