Don’t forget toxic tarsand sludge. We’ve cornered the market on that stuff.

I would really like to know what they consider worthwhile skills. Just think about how hard it is for ex-cons to get jobs in the first place. Imagine how hard it must be to get jobs that require responsibility. Agriculture is probably a perfect example of discipline, care and responsibility that is necessary to excel after leaving prison.

But people who grow things won’t sell more fake mortage-backed investment packages.

Very disappointing news.

It’s troubling enough that Mr. Harper is looking to repeat the same mistakes of the US prison system — mistakes that the new Congress and executive are moving away from. Added to that is this clear misreading of the future employment sector and skills needed for at least the next half-century.

We can all look forward to opportunities in the taser manufacturing and marketing industries, no doubt.
