No Speaky English..... No Money Back Guaranteed...

Talk about milking a story... in fact what is the news story here... every day people enter into a contract and every day there is the odd dispute... in fact I'm pretty sure there are quite a few people who would love to be able show up on the doorstep of their financial institutions and complain that they didn't understand the investment shares they bought had risky conditions and now they want their money back... try showing up tomorrow and occupying the offices at one of our chartered banks with a bunch of your friends and just see how quick would you be hauled away in a Paddywagon... and that's exactly what should happen here... haul them away and if they have a legitimate case then they can do what the rest of us would have to do and that is settle it out in court.... simply put they signed an agreement and they have to live up to that agreement...
Chinese immigrants still protesting for deposit

About 40 Chinese immigrants were back at the offices of P.E.I.'s Business Development Corporation Monday seeking the return of deposits for learning to speak English.
They put up $20,000 when they immigrated — money that was to be returned after they passed an English proficiency test. They believe the province has arbitrarily raised the standard, but officials say the standards haven't changed.
The immigrants had protested last week and had been promised a meeting with officials this morning. The meeting was cancelled due to weather.
At least one of the protesters has a meeting scheduled for Tuesday with Innovation Minister Allan Campbell about the controversy.

Tim...
You believe thje Government Officials do you?

You believe that NO Official or Politician might tell a fib do you?

Of course the rules changed it is obvious.

What is more telling though is the actual form that the Immigrant signed BEFORE they even took english was actually only available in ENGLISH.

Now Tim would you understand a form written in Chinese?
