I am a coach and I coach Kids 12 and 13 yrs old boys rep basketball team , however this year we did have 2 girl players on our team , anyway , at the beginng of the the year I was verbally asaulted by a parent and during the year there was underlined threats , and at the end of the year I was cut off while driving and threatened in front of kids that that if I did not play this parents child more I would pay . There is enough Incedents that a show could be mada , I was stalked by a parent who like me and police were going to be called , it was insane . I also am a FIBA referee and have played the game for 30 yrs at different levels .

That being said, the current Liberal Party is a sham. Where are the Chretiens, the Trudeaus, the Turners? The strong voices of the Liberal Party dead and gone. I have no idea what is going on over on that side of the house, but it's definitely not pretty. I’m no Liberal supporter, in fact I am a strong supporter of the current government.

What happens when more and more people are laid off and are forced to move and or take cheaper paying jobs? The answer is that it is already happening especially south of the border with banrupticies and forecloseures are up throwing our econimies into turmoil and shaking up the stock market. With less people making good money who will buy the products being produced overseas? Regardless of how cheap they are very few will be able to buy them and keep our economy going.

All of which could be exported and sold right here at home. This would create skilled and unskilled jobs.

I find for myself that yes, it's true I really don't care who or where the person is that answers my question or concern, what I hate and get incredibly annoyed at is the fact that who I may be talking to has a very thick accent (french, middle eastern, Pakistani, Asian etc.). That is what bothers me most about moving these call centres, or these so called "customer contact centres" (I guess we have to be politically correct just in case) out of our country. Another aspect that bothers me is that there are people who live here in our neighbourhood who are barely trying to make ends meet, and they, for whatever reason, can only work in a call centre and then they are laid off. First of all, it is a little difficult to maintain a household off of $10 or $12 per hour. Second, when, and I say when because I agree with you Tom, it will happen, when you are laid off, good luck finding another job. I guess you'll probably just go to another call center...excuse me "customer contact centre" and work there until you are laid off, then go to the next, then the next and the rat race continues. I have mixed feelings about globalization, or hiring cheep labour to fulfill a need. I think of the illegal immigrants in California picking the fruits and vegetables for everyone...what if there were no Mexicans, or Dominicans, or any other South American to do your job for you...what would you do? Me personally, I don't work in a call centre, I work as an accountant and financial consultant. I am married and have two young children. I guess you could say that I'm a bit old fashioned and conservative in that I hope that I can make enough money to support my family comfortably without my wife having to work as well. I know that I wouldn't be able to do that if I were working in a call centre. I think if Mr. Shawn Graham wants New Brunswick to be self-sufficient we need to do all we can to attract other income producing industries to the province to create jobs for people to do. I think it is also important that we diversify these industries. A call centre or two was a great idea back in the day, but it seems like every Tom, Dick, and Harry jumped on the band wagon and brought another call centre, and another, and another until it seems like everyone is working at a call centre. And they will leave us, and people will be left to scroung for something, creating havouc on the social assistance programs, welfare, and my pockets as, unfortunately, a tax payer.
