   Reciprocity Treaties for Students in Can   
   13 Feb 15 12:49:54   
   
   The Premiers of Canada's provinces need to get together and sign Reciprocity   
   Treaties for Student Mobility within Canada, because the Freedom of Mobility   
   clause in the Canadian Charter of Rights is not working. I read many students   
   online who complain    
   about the difficulties they encounter going to study in another province. Some   
   say it's easier to go to study in the US than in the province next door.   
      
   This is nothing new. I remember similar things from my student days. My father   
   was in the Canadian Armed Forces and the family ended up living in Ontario,   
   when he obtained his discharge. After high school, I ended up going to Laval   
   University in Quebec    
   City, as I wanted to learn to speak French.   
      
   There is a very deep hate for Ontario in Quebec City. I encountered much   
   hostility from the general population in the city, when they learned that I   
   had moved into Quebec from Ontario. At the time much of the city was   
   controlled by the Simard Gang, which    
   was part of a larger Jewish Clan called the Simards.    
      
   One day the leader of the Simard Gang, Clarence Simard, came onto the campus   
   with six or eight of his boys and a rope. They told everyone that they were   
   looking for the student from Ontario and was told that I was in the Library. I   
   watched them assemble    
   outside the Main Entrance. When the Campus Security Guards in the Library saw   
   them approaching the doors, they ran chains through the push handles and kept   
   the gang from coming in by pulling on the chains.   
      
   Soon more Campus Security arrived, linked arms and squeezed between the gang   
   with the rope and the Library doors. They argued back and forth for about 15   
   minutes before the Simard Gang dispersed with their rope. At no time was the   
   City Police called in.
