Canada’s state-run “introduction services”

What’s with the massive new state-run “Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada” initiative to get businesses to employ the state on their behalf to “introduce” them and their businesses to others, “abroad”?  Apparently every government “introducer” is a “Trade Commissioner”.  Wow.  That sounds haughty.  And they’re all women too!  (I guess we can thank the state-run “women’s centres” and all their tens of millions of taxpayer dollars for building that obvious anti-male inequality, boo hoo hoo.  No problem, the gov’ment can start a network of “men’s centres”.  “Of excellence”!  They can stick some ‘o them image  state-sponsorship logos all over ‘em!)

Anyway, if you’re in business, and you haven’t already started totally relying on the state for your business survival in addition to your personal and family health, welfare, employment, financing, TV-viewing, radio-listening, and abortion needs, apparently you can choose from any of these women (all of whom are called “Trade Commissioners”), depending on what foreign land (“abroad”) you intend to do business in (you’ll see these ads in every Canwest Global newspaper across the nation today in addition to the plethora of CBC ads and the various other government services ads: 

Barbara Giacomin, “Trade Commissioner”, San Francisco, United States.  America, huh?  That’s “abroad”.  I wonder if she speaks that funky “American” language?!

Katherine Aleong, “Trade Commissioner”, Guadalajara, Mexico.  I guess that’s abroad.

This one is perhaps the strangest of all.  Her name is (take a breath) Anouk Bergeron-Laliberte.  She’s the “Trade Commissioner” for…. Montreal, Quebec.  It’s like they have a different word for EVERYTHING in Quebec.  Mon Dieu!  What would we do without the benevolent gov’ment?!

When my dad set up a business here, he got on the phone, and spoke to people in Israel, on the phone.  And they’re even in a different time zone and everything over there.
