Viewing the entire thread of your query takes one into a disappointing literary arena, most especially as the articles are all authored by teachers apparently out of their professional ethics; by touching issues of personalities which they can't expertly handle."judge a character from the character of the image you face in the mirror." Is there a mortal that has never been sick, has never backstabbed, criticized, condemned or denounced, dishonest or what? Though i do not come from Canada i teach English here in China and i have worked side by side with very healthy, professionally experienced and honest Canadian teachers. They are inspirational teachers with good manners only second to the English, neither do i come from England, i come from Africa. Whoever made generalized comments on the health of Canadians should consult an ophthalmologist, then he/she will be able to come out with a fair analysis.
