Where will it Stop?, Asks AFL EDMONTON, March 16 /CNW/ - The Alberta Federation of Labour has learned the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) has altered its policy regarding the hiring of minors to work in bars and lounges. Effectively immediately, bar and lounge owners can apply to use 12-17 year-olds in the kitchen area of their establishments. AFL President Gil McGowan will be available for the media to comment on this revelation at 2:00 pm at the AFL offices (10802 - 172 Street) in Edmonton. The AFL received a copy of an email (dated March 15, 2007) widely distributed by the Canadian Restaurant and Food Services Association (CRFA) trumpeting the decision. An AFL staffer subsequently confirmed the change this morning with the AGLC's Executive Director of Regulatory Affairs. This follows the decision last year by the Alberta government to allow restaurants to hire 12 to 14 year-olds. "Minors aren't allowed in bars, but they can toil away in the kitchens of bars. The logic of this is beyond belief," says AFL President Gil McGowan. "No one can convince me that a bar atmosphere is appropriate for a young teenager. Drunk patrons, worldly staff and alcohol sales add up to an adult environment, both in the bar and behind the scenes. It is no place for a 12-year old." The AGLC indicates the change was made at the request of the CRFA due to their claims of labour shortages. "The Alberta government has its priorities completely backward," says McGowan. "It is supposed to protect our kids, but instead it slavishly serves the self-interests of an industry with a spotty employment track record." "Hiring 12-year olds to work in restaurants is indefensible enough. Hiring them to work in bars is a whole new level of appalling. The AGLC says it will weigh the merits of each application, denying applications for employers who have breached their licenses in some way. "I'll believe it when I see it," responds McGowan. "Where are the checks and balances?" "Who will stand up to protect our young people from being exploited? Clearly not the Conservative government," McGowan concludes.

Change the word Conservative with Canadian and then your cooking buddy!!! They are all the same people, just switching parties more often then a drunk on a "free" binge. After so long. It really saddens me to see that people are so easily lied to manipulated.... Liberal, Conservative, NDP, I believe the expression is divide and conquer? It would appear it's working extremely well. When government screws up.. the Government body just switches from Liberal puppets to conservative puppets. And when those two have become hated by the people the NDP will get in.. and them to will screw the people... a spoonful of political party switching makes the B.S go down. And I thought I was the uneducated, poor moron..... Having an education is pointless if you can't even think for yourself.

I also heard that the sex industry is booming, as well as oil and gas, in Alberta. I read that on the CTV news website..Disgusting.. Yes just like it is here. But if we were allowed to see these sex trade workers file information we would see one commonality. Most of them probably have long term foster care in their files. As long as foster care exists the sex trade will have a never ending supply of employee. And having experience in the past as a child, in the foster care and sex trade I will tell you, them rich folk like em young. Prostitutes over the age of 18 do not make out very well. Prostitutes under 18 can charge more and have a wider selection of clients. The younger they are the more they get picked up and the more they can charge. I am speaking from my experience in the past. I have no shame about it. I know who put me out there. I was doing what I could to survive I was 14 all I knew was abuse. When I was a kid I figured If I am going to be abused and forced into sex by foster parents or a social worker. Then I might as well do it on the streets where I am free, and get paid for it. And I know by talking to many other youth, they have around the same thoughts and experiences i did at their age. I feel such shame not from what I did in the past... But for what the Government, LAWYERS, Judges and so called social workers are doing and condemning these children to. Since the Government banned street kids asking for change guess what got an even bigger infusion? The prostitution industry. It scares me that the Government knew full well what would happen. And still made the choice to condemn kids to prostitution if they want to eat.

And if someone says there are lots of free food places. I will only respond with my own experience. When you are a kid. The Government is not the only ones who want to make a buck off of you. Pimps, drug dealers pedophiles hang at these places... why? Perfect place to find their next victims. Everyone has got to eat. So I learned as well as many others like myself.Remaining free means we can not exist or surface. We must be ghost like.... Since most of us lose the ability to trust after a few years in foster care. You lose it completely. I still suffer from this. Well that and the need to move every 6 months. But both can seriously affect your quality of life and your ability to make logical choices(Ones that I hear people refer to as common sense. ). Or be able to function like a normal person and when you suffer from abuse for so long, right and wrong become empty words. And therefore the children turned adults are un-able to tell the difference.. After foster care there is nuthing.... And the Judges and lawyers are only to happy to prosecute them for it. LIKE, WHAT THE FUCK? Of course these same class of people will let children work in bars or send them to their deaths in foster care with a "loving upper-class family", Because we all know you can't be poor and be a foster parent. The rich are OUT OF CONTROL and they are getting us killed.

When everything is connected to everything in a distributed network, everything happens at once. When everything happens at once, wide and fast moving problems simply route around any central authority.Therefor overall governance must arise from the most humble interdependent acts done locally in parallel, and not from a central command.
A mob can steer itself, and in the territory of rapid, massive and heterogeneous change, only a mob can steer. To get something from nothing, control must rest at the bottom within simplicity.
The beginnings of complexity are rooted in chaos, but chaos has been disguised as randomness. But if a complex system is able to find a common balance after a period of give and take, thereafter not much will derail it. Our governing system has no balance, therefore it has no chance at lasting. It will unravel from with in. The most humble interdependent acts done locally will be the tools of this. Interconnection is a bitch.

Yes, but even I have not seen it as bad as it has become in the last 10 years. (It just went out of control after they released the CFSA act in 97, then was accelerated by the introduction of the safe streets act in 2000. After they did that crack took over everywhere here in Ontario. And the balance destroyed. The safe streets act had the exact opposite effect it was intended. I just can't bring myself to believe that the government did not know this would happen. And now that it did, they aren't doing anything to make the streets safe. That enforces my first thought. The streets you see now is exactly what they wanted. Unsafe. Now you need them, and the class divide has spreed even further. One side hating the other. it's perfect for the economy. But since it is artificial control it will die. As we are seeing it do just that now. When I was a kid out there there might have been 3 - 4 young people. It has at least gotten 10X that now. How bad it is getting is not news. People tried to say something to the people making policies. They choose to ignore it. Now the children pay the price of there arrogance. And the government? They don't even bat an eyelash as they watch children die or get ditched on the streets, strung out drug addicts and left for dead.. And to make things even worse instead of helping these people the Government sick the cops on them for being an eyesore. All the while boasting they are for the children and they care ...blah blah blah. I think the only ones believing their lies, is themselves. And people still dumb enough to vote. (I am not saying everyone is dumb, the better word would have been naive enouph) Which is now a very very small population. The rest of us figured it out. It does not matter who you vote for, your gonna get screwed. This game of politics is just like wrestling, Fake and makes you dumber for having watched or participated. It's not even fun to watch when you know what they are going to say next. I'd rather watch my computer defrag a 200 gig drive then watch anything politically related. True intelligence is stimulated by other true intelligence. Their is nothing about politics that is intelligent or stimulating. Everyone wants to be a star.... Here is an example. I have special powers that let me see into the future... Bill 88 will not get passed but 165 will. Bill 165 is just attempted damage control. In real life both bills would be scrapped, foster care investigated across Canada and a new system would be developed. In the last 4 years we said the system was fucked royally. C.A.S told everyone we were full of shit and set police in to our homes to shut us up. Well now you know we were right. We were not lying, I was not lying. The only people that are lying here is C.A.S and government. But in the land of lies and bullshit... you can think that their is a real debate happening but their is not, they are just testing the waters before continuing full speed ahead like usual. The fact 165 was introduced after 88 speaks a thousand words about the corrupt nature of Government.... "Look at my one hand and shake hands.... while I slap you with the other."

I think the reason that I see that is, you ever hear the expression takes a thief to catch a thief? Wolfs travel in a pack.
I have seen government use the same tactics like the one above. I am able to see it because I have used those tricks myself as a hustler on the streets to get what I wanted. I have seen the game I know how it is played. The only difference is, is that they get media coverage. I get called a criminal. But yet none of my choices have gotten anyone killed, abused, molested, dismembered, locked in a cage and starved to death, drowned, forced someone to sleep in their own feces.
The Government has so has C.A.S and the police. Their choices have gotten people killed.
My choices have lead me to here, standing up against them calling them murders..
The truth is my best friend and the only one I trust. So Government I am gonna stuff it right up your ass. And your going to like it and thank me later for it. ;D
As long as you do not fix the system and listen to us, I will always be there in your face to remind you of your cowardice and the children you got killed with your greedy stupidity..
As long as you deny the truth you will continue to fuel my resolve. I was one of your victims I am now one of those most humble interdependent acts.

I usually carry a pocket full of those ketchup packages that you get at fast food joints. I carry them in case I run in to some street kid punk looking for food. After they look at me and say "Hey Mister, do you have any spare change?", I say "Here you go, in case you get any money to buy some food, here is some frickin ketchup that you can use...YOU FUCKING BUM!!!! GET A FRICKING JOB that doesn't involve blowing some old dude like bizzi used to!!! Sad...real sad.... The poster of this post is the definition of socail moron. I wont delete this only because I want people here from all over canada to see the type of people I deal with here in Sarnia. Id like to say sorry to those out there that think everyone from Sarnia is like this, because I know 4 people that are members here that do not think like this moron.. Dean

Oh muffin, would you like a hero cookie with your wine? You know, I am glad there are people like you out there. Makes people like me look real good. But come on you can do better then that? Were you waiting for that opening so you could try to insult me? LMAO!!!! What a sad life you must have, sitting in front of your pc reading what I say ...just waiting.. waiting for an opportunity to insult me. LMAO!!! Umm, for the record, The place was called the Brass ring in Calgary, Old men? lol.... Try older ladies my wish-you-could-insult-me friend. And I even seen your mom there...son. It was a nice change from getting the shit kicked out of me and locked in a 4x4 foot cell I was experiencing 1 week before.. I was 14 and starving in minus 25 weather, I am 28 now and doing just fine. Tell you what when you can actually say something offensive tinkerbell, please..... try again. But just so you know. I am not here saying any of this because I afraid of being insulted. I am saying this so people get an idea of what a life it is to be in care. Trolls like you, I expect to be insulted. That is all the upper-class know how to do. You must be friends with Mayor O'brian. And my soon to be wife knows all about my old life. Many people do. I have never been ashamed of my life. The only shame I have is that I am Canadian like you.

Bizzi Ive talk to many kids that are reading the forum now. many of the familys here are involved with the CAS. Why? Because they are Poor and not because the familys are not working, its because they are working at low end jobs (call centers) makeing less then they would on OW or ODSP. they strugle to pay the rent and food they depend on the Inn of the Good Shepard to make ends meet. I guess what Im saying is it an example of how the rich get richer and the working poor have to lower them selfs to ask for hand outs to survive. The CAS then uses the the escuse that these familys are not providing properly for there children. Then you have total pinheads like Tinkerbell here that is so brain damaged that they cant see the reality of how this country is eroading from the stupidity of the offspring of those in power. Bizzi your doing a great job and I for one know your life because I lived it too.

I would have to agree fully with you. Seems the more kids they have and grow up to follow in their footsteps the worse everything is getting. At this rate we will all be starving and we will enter the future of Blade-Runner or pretty damb close. It should scare people where we are headed. Doesn't even phase them just like a herd of dumb-blank-faced looking cows living and eating in their own shit in some field somewhere
And thank you dean.
Life is what happens to you while your making other plans.
