There are 2 sets of untapped labour in NS before farmers even think about bringing in immigrants. The Welfare Moochers and Inmates should be FORCED to work in the fields, no excuses, no sick notes, and in all weathers. Housed and fed, inmates chained and shackled whilst wearing high visibility coveralls. This should be televised to deter other assorted dross that we are sick and tired of babying criminals and baby daddy/mommies. —Sheriff Joe Arpaio

  1. But, Joe, we can’t make those poor, unfortunate, disadvantaged, and disenfranchised people “dance for their supper”. That would violate their basic human right to do nothing.

  2. Ah but this is Canada and you cannot force anyone to work. And really you want inmates handling your food.

    Jack may be gone but his Party would cry FOUL and if Harper tried to institute it, there would be huge cries of dicatator.

  3. Why you hatin on baby daddies/mommas? Should the kids work too? High visibility Osh Kosh B’fucking Gosh? Criminals, sure. People raising kids? You are a shit, real talk.

  4. FS – As far as I’m concerned, everybody on social assistance, who is capable of working, should be made to work.

    Chain-gangs? – fucking right.

  5. So what happens to the children of people on social assistance while their parents are down the valley picking produce? You gonna parent them Sheriff? Feed and change infants in the middle of the night? Get them off to school in the morning?

  6. Do what they did in the old days, take them to the fields with them. They’ll learn to sow and reap and some skills.

  7. I agree with inmates contributing in a non-voluntary fashion but I don’t equate people on social assistance with criminals.
    Basically what Furious Styles said only in English.

  8. OP, I totally agree. Those welfare losers do nothing at all……they should be required to work. It’s wouldn’t be slave labour because they are receiving compensation in the form of welfare. If they are able-bodied, make them work. If they have a disability, make them do something…..lick envelopes, mop floors with their wheelchairs, etc.

  9. Yeah, minus the teenage colloquialisms, not everyone on welfare or EI is a criminal or loser, just like not all cops are assholes, or all posters on blogs aren’t like The Comic Book Guy. I’m new here but I’m guessing Sebastian is the uncompromising fascist asshole of this board?

  10. hmmm, no he just hates fat people, people who don’t have cars and other stuff i can’t remember. who is it?

  11. It’s supposed to be ‘assistance’, not a ‘free ride’.

    Ummm…do you think it might be possible for a Gov Day Care, staffed by…wait for it….social assistance recipients (properly trained, of course).

    But, like I said earlier, can’t make the poor dears ‘dance for their supper’, even though I did for over 30yrs.

  12. I’m a single father. I’m not on welfare or EI but I’d love a gov’t day care for my kids. Or affordable child care even. Lets work on that. Before the Cons won and the liberals were in power, they had a plan for nationalized child care but it was scrapped. Maybe some of the ‘losers’ would be able to work if they didn’t have to pay 800 a month per child to get them in daycare.

  13. How old are your kids, FS? There is a great after school program at the Canada Games Centre if you live anywhere near there. I think it works out to about 50 bucks a week per kid and includes homework time, crafts, and swimming lessons and they pick the kids up from local schools.

    My mom told me she was paying more than that 20 years ago when I was a youngin’.

    BTW: sebastard hates everything and everyone. Including himself. But he’s good for a laugh (at).

    I’m on EI right now. I’d love love LOVE to find a job where I wasn’t underemployed, and even then I’m seen as too overqualified to get some of the bum-jobs out there. But you know what? I’ve never been on EI before and I’ve been paying in for the past 15 years so I don’t feel one ounce guilty for drawing it right now. I have five-ish more months and I intend to take that time to find a job that doesn’t suck. And people like sebastard, who could find himself out on HIS ass any day because job security in today’s job economy is non existent, can suck it. 😀 I’ve had maybe a 3 month period in the past 15 years where I’ve been unemployed. I’ve always had a job while in school even though I didn’t ‘need’ one. I’m far from lazy. Not everyone on EI is lazy and it’s not like it’s just handed out. People pay INTO EI in order to draw it. People on Social Assistance don’t, so stop comparing people on EI to those on SA, sebastard.

  14. Since the migrant workers are highly skilled at harvest work and since we don’t want to take away their livelihood, they can train and supervise the baby daddy/mommies.

    Any baby too big to strapped on can be daycared by the older able bodied cheque cashers. After all, it’s their awesome parenting skills that are making the new generation of cheque cashers what they are today!

    The buses leave at 4:30 AM. Sunblock will be supplied. No smoke breaks.

  15. The folks who grow our food deserve better than convicts and loudmouths who are going to block the furrows with their honking big baby strollers. Send the panhandlers out to pick up timmies cups and other roadside trash (they get to keep anything they win from the rim). Use the chain gangs to cut down Giant Hogweed. Have Notorious Norbert the Narc give a
    safety lecture emphasizing it’s dangers (It produces a mild “buzz” when smoked or eaten and is highly addictive – Heh Heh Heh)

  16. What exactly is a “baby daddy/mommie”? Usually those with spawn are referred to as parents.

  17. yeah, and what about all that other cheap labour sitting in jails, doing fuck all. except planning on more shit to cause, when they get out. get the fucking chain gangs going back in canada. ah, the past, i loved it well. remember rockhead city prison, they actually had to break rocks there at one time.

  18. Ivan — there’s LOTS of labour in the valley, thing *is* no one will do it.

    I don’t see what makes valley people better than migrant workers, but they sure as hell think they are, all the while bitching because there’s apparently “no work” in the valley.

    There’s no shortage of labour for retail or grocery or whatever, but OMG tell a valley-ite they should consider farm work and you might get punched in the face.

    It comes down to pure laziness. Why work and actually bring a paycheque in when you can sit on your ass, fuck your sister/cousin/uncle/etc… and complain about how “there ain’t no work” because you “ain’t seen no job ads for dose good jeorbs.”

    I’m so fucking glad I moved out of that hole.

    Also: a good friend of mine who has an MSc from acadia regularly works on blueberry/strawberry farms during the summer because she hasn’t been able to find work in her field. Meanwhile, you get Golar-kin refusing to do the same work because fucking your family apparently makes you better than that!

  19. Baby daddy/mommy is a term used by parents of a child who are no longer in a relationship to describe each other.

  20. p.k., i have two real good dyke friends who work the farms in new minas and area all the time. they are both on disability, and do what they can.
    being lazy is no fucking excuse nowadays.being with kid/s, is no excuse for not doing shit either.i know plenty of welfare moms who would kill for a chance to get out of that rap, but the system is geared against them. jack had a few good ideas, but he is gone now. so we have to do what we can, to make sure the welfare state stays very small.

  21. Good point Colonel. Picking up trash on the highways and byways would be a better option for our warehoused members of society.
    I have done some farm work in my time and it’s hard work. Try haying, that is back-breaking work. You get sweaty, sore, itchy and if there has been any rain recently, those bales of hay weigh 100 lbs each and you have to throw them onto a truck that’s moving.
    Apple picking is easier but you get paid by the bin. Try hoisting your ladder into the tree, climbing the ladder, filling your 50 lb burlap bag, climbing down the ladder and dumping the bag into the bin. After 25 such trips, it seems you haven’t covered the bottom of the bin, it’s demoralizing. Of course, this is all in 30ish degree temperatures.
    I think everybody should experience farm work, suddenly you’re not so picky about other employment.

  22. I hears ya Kitteh. I saw a story on the news about a fellow from Jamaica who’s been coming up here every summer for about 10 years . Prolly working the same farm all that time. I don’t imagine that farmer would want him replaced with a chain gang or the chronically unemployable. At one time we had about a dozen Kosovars working in the Dunder-Mifflin warehouse. They came here as refugees at around the time that Milosevic was gearing up to do to Kosovo what he had done to Bosnia. Great folks and great workers too. They’ve all gone on to bigger and better things, bless ’em. This was at a time when our turnover in warehouse staff was outrageous. We’d have these, meth-head, grade 10 dropout, dullards come in, chased in by their parole officers no doubt and you could predict almost to the moment when they would quit, walk out or not bother showing up anymore. One little strutting gangbanger didn’t even last until 10:00 break. The 6 months pregnant woman who was teaching him how to do her job couldn’t believe it. And every now and then you’d hear some jackass bingo mama braying about “useless foreigners” and literally “they tuk ar jaaabs” because we wouldn’t rehire their cousin/offspring?
    Fuck ’em!

  23. The problem with that promise of universal childcare, the liberal were going to start their project by taking a wrecking ball to the cons monthly cheque. I agree that the universal childcare is better than the cheque, but the liberal’s “break before make” scheme is about as idiotic as cutting the wires to your low beams before the high beams turn on……it create a dark moment where all hell can break loose. And with the libs record on large projects like the gun registry, we just couldnt afford to trust those idiots

  24. True dat, Troodon. I’ve done it myself and value the experience but looking down the barrel of my 50th b-day I’m not sure I’d want to relive the process. Or be capable of doing so.

  25. Remember the interview (or was it a documentary?) with Darrell and his other brother Darrell Goler about the whole mess and they said “Hunh? Insects?” Oh my! And they’re too good to pick string beans?

    If anybody would like to arrange for me to get a month or two off my ass at work to work outside I’d do it in a minute! Sign me up!

  26. i’ve been a cfa everywhere we moved, but i had never heard the term til we moved here. i though it was some accountant designation^^farm work is great, you sure do sleep right some jeslus good

  27. Hell yes, Snoob. I remember that doc. It also featured a fat balding little turd asking “Well, when a 12 year girls comin onto ya, what’s a feller spose to do?” And instead of doing the perp walk, one of the family tipped his ball cap to the media cameras outside the courtroom and said “Hello dere”. I knew people who had that on tape and would show it at parties and on special occasions.

  28. AHHH! I’d forgotten that line! What IS a feeler supposed to do, eh! What a memory you have! Right down to the hat tip! Show it at parties. LOL! EEuuuwwww.

  29. Thing about the golars, for the CFA’s FYI is: don’t bring up the name when you’re in the valley, yo, especially wolfvegas/new minas/etc… cause they’re a scary buncha people and can do some nasty things and they all come down from the mountain on saturdays to go shopping. You NEVER know who’s who (though, you can usually get SOME sort of idea based on appearance).

    I checked “On Golar Mountain” out from the Acadia library once and half the pages were torn out.

    Touchy subject up there, guys.

    And don’t go up on the mountain after dark if you don’t know where the fuck you’re going. I lived in ‘vegas for 15 years, and one night I went for a drive with this guy I was dating and we made a wrong turn and got lost. It was terrifying. There were no street lights. I lived there for a decade and a half and I still managed to get lost.

    *shudder*

  30. Fuck poor people. I don’t mean the “working poor” I mean the useless welfs out there that sit around doing nothing, taking all the food from the food banks that should go to people with jobs that are poor. Same goes for drunks and drug addicts, that have been “told” they have a disease, which somehow translates to a free pass. If they want a free ride. I say take an already existing community (Shannon park) and make it a gated welfare community. You get up every morning, have a military style inspection, followed by exercise, then off to a room where you stare at the walls for a full 8 hours. There is to be no money given, just a cafeteria serving gruel with all the essential nutrients. Where do people think it’s a right to have their own apartment, money, cable tv, internet and all the modern conveniences that people who work have. Fuck that, slobs like that don’t deserve to work around food that someone will have to pay for.

  31. Stephen Harper – Shannon Park – Hmmm. I’ve had this discussion with a co-worker. Do I work with you?

  32. So you want to replace hard working, trained migrant workers with lazy Canadian ones? No thank you. Fuck knows what they’d try to do with the produce.

  33. Any of you ever gone haying ?
    Ever picked apples from sun up to sun down ?
    It ain’t easy…its damn hard physical labor & if you are doing it because your forced to, the quality of the produce is going to be at the bottom of the chart, likely graded as wind falls, about the lowest grade !
    So you can’t use a bunch of freeloading lazy & or useless criminal bums to do an honest days work !
    Great idea though….lets get them cutting the highways grass (by hand) & picking up garbage…that’s way harder to fuck up.

  34. Roger that, Donkster. One of my Albanian buddies was working multiple jobs to send money home to put his sister through uni.

  35. I’m willing to bet they’d complain less as well.

    And I’m all for mowing by hand… we can’t just hand a convict a rotating blade to slash all his buddies up now can we? hell, not even a weed whacker, they’d hang themselves on the cord. No scossors either, shankville.
    they get nail clippers.
    Have fun!

  36. what a strange man, i say, strange man. there is a giant oshkosh b’fuking gosh store in bayer’s lake

  37. After I’ve got the untermensch working and put a halt to the breeding of 4th generation scum, I’m planning a “poleaxe a panhandler” festival with a top prize of a 24 of Mr. Keiths finest and a gallon of Ivans potato vodka to the person who scatters the brain matter the furthest.
