Cathy Bennett and the Big Business of Perpetuating Poor Taste.

I couldn’t help but take a minute or two and comment on businesswoman Cathy Bennett’s call for full-day kindergarten classes in Newfoundland and Labrador.

How ironic: it isn’t bad enough that this woman peddles cardboard cuisine to the uncultured masses in the form of the McDonald’s restaurants she owns and operates in the St John’s area; now she wants the local kindergarten students to undergo an additional three hours of third-rate education and left-wing indoctrination per day. Of course, this is all for the public good, claims Ms Bennett. In other words, she wants more semi-illiterate mothers freed up to work the afternoon shift at her businesses. Meanwhile, the poor children in question will be receiving an excuse for an education that will render them prime candidates for employment at McDonald’s upon graduation. ‘Learning to labour’ indeed.

Ms Bennett is the worst kind of capitalist: someone who earns an above-average income perpetuating culinary dead-ends on the backs of socialist appetites and expectations—all the while extolling the ‘virtues’ of an education system that will guarantee her future drones and clientele for the taking. I’m so grateful my parents did their utmost to keep me out of such restaurants and academic institutions.

Ultimately, I guess, such a ridiculous move on the part of an acquiescing government would mean the opportunity for neglectful parents to spend even less time with their offspring. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
