Dale Kirby and Terry French - Who has a REAL job?

 
Last Wednesday in the House of Assembly Dale Kirby asked Terry French a question regarding legislation on replacement (scab) workers. French responded in a manner not becoming a Minister but very telling of his own character. 

Here is the quote:   

MR. FRENCH: Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is referring to a couple of incidents, but the hon. member has two jobs, as we all know here in the House, and he is an academic in his real job. So, Mr. Speaker, to speak to him being an academic, I would like to challenge him to read some of the work that some of the academics have done throughout this country and throughout the world, and he will quickly discover that there is a great divide on the usefulness of replacement worker legislation...

As many of you already know - I am not always in agreement with Dale Kirby - however I respect his profession and his work. 

Currently Dale Kirby is the MHA for St. John's North and that is a REAL job. In the past and at present Dale Kirby does not NEED to be a politician to be gainfully employed. It's not likely the best gig he will ever have. That is refreshing to a voter. 

You on the other hand Mr. French are looking like a career politician more and more each day. That is a problem. How and why did you go into politics? If you were in Opposition today - what else would you be doing? 

You Mr. French want the people of the province to provide you with a job and pension as a politician. This is not so good - particularly when you consider the situation of public service pensioners. In my opinion Mr. French - this is the best gig you will ever have and that is worrisome.
