I thought remembering and supporting the University you attended, so that it may continue it's job of educating people, was a proper thing, perhaps even somewhat noble? When did it become a form of kick-back or indication of dishonesty.
Makes you wonder what kind of character Paolo Boivin actually has that he immediately conjurs up the worst possible conclusions without any evidence, or even rational suggestion, of the existence of the "problem" he has chosen to pontificate about.
Apparently in Mr. Boivin's circle of influence, attending a certain college obiliviates a lifetime of hard work, dedication to an avocation, a lifetime of adherence and dedication to understanding and interpretation of a set of rules. Are Judges allowed to rule on cases that involve individuals who may have attended the same college as the Judge. What about people who may have attended the same High School?
Should a Judge be allowed to preside over an issue where one of the principals lives in the same town? After all they very likely pay the same school and community taxes.
Just because "journalists" apparently have such a low level of ethics, sportsmanship and honesty doesn't mean officials share their tendencies. Makes you wonder how many, if any, journalists actually are officials. Apparently "journalists" lack the ability to be able to separate "A" from "B", perhaps that might be a cause of today's journalism being unable to separate their personal and political biases from their work.
It takes skill, dedication, a strong sense of knowing the difference between right and not right and perhaps most of all some measure of honesty and, above all, class to achieve one of the highest levels of officiating. I guess with "journalists" all you need is a big mouth, a suspicious mind and a willingness to engage your fantasies without filtering them through your mind.
