Western Graduate News: So you are alumni at the University of Western London Ontario. Does that mean you have to spend money to feel good and eat a good diet; but I suppose you would need money to enjoy a good diet anyway? Warren Lyon.(BCL): That is correct. W.N: What did you think of going to University and apparently, you wrote a book recently on Advanced Economics? W.L.: Yes I did...I will send you a copy by email.....and about University ; certainly, it was to maintain hopes and dreams of a happy life and a good job. No job is guaranteed for life. But, maybe with some schooling you could always take what you learn from any one job and transfer those skills into another role with another employer. That's the job. W.N.: We noticed that in coming to Western, you had applied for OSAP. You also worked part time on the campus at the Restaurant that is still here today but it's more of a quiet cafe and bistro with some music on Friday or Saturday. Also why did you choose Western? W.L: That is correct. This is because I was supposed to receive my benefits in time at 13 and a half years old. I did not receive it. I am not sure why but it seems someone in my household attempted to intercept the benefit payments and receive the money in a fraudulent joint account that he had set up when I was ten years old. I had opened a Canada Trust account when I was 8 years old. Because of his threatening interruption, insistence and confusion, it did not arrive. This happened to my sister and my younger brother also; from his third marriage. He was married once with last name Phinn. I started working early and had a little money so maybe that is why no one rushed in to help me. My siblings received their benefits late when someone noticed, told them and helped them. So, I had to apply for OSAP. It's likely that if I had received my benefits, I would have finished High School and then just work for the government as a parking ticket attendant. In the alternative, I would have worked at a restaurant long enough and until I was mature enough to own my own, have children and settle down. Franchising can be fun. There are soo many and there is no point coveting any idea. Do your own. I chose Western because it's a good school. I thought of school in Québec also. I applied to U of T and got in. I applied to McMaster also and was accepted. I thought of York but it was known for academic fraud, not a real university yet but a polytechnic that took on university status like Ryerson and the location was kind of industrial but not a campus just behind Jane and Finch with a low income stigma. It's still Toronto, the architecture was positive and I saw nothing wrong with the neighborhood when it was a high church attendance neighborhood. It's probably that I could only apply to three schools on the application. But, the school is under investigation for intellectual property theft involving work produced by graduates from other schools and threats or threatening behaviours, affecting these graduates. W.N.: Is there anything you would like to add? What about racism in University? W.L.: To be quite frank, there will always be people who can't understand that school is school, designed for education and everyone would like to see the school render results that reflect genuine effort and the intentions of the students; not racial hegemony or racism or some other motivations maybe like social competition maybe. I would say the school did a reasonably good job in finding lecturing staff and assistants that worked for that well intentioned goal. Because of this, I was shocked to run into a legal profession that would literally threaten the life of one of its members who was good enough to join as a student member in Canada in one of the busier markets for legal services so who are they and what are they if their souls, lives and characters are not consistent with the requirements of membership in the profession and service to the community? Why let people into the profession if you can't stand to see them actually truly help people in the way the profession demands that you help them? Maybe you get recognized for helping and maybe you don't but this is what you are sent to school to do. As a student, maybe the Scrooge man you are thankful to article for pays you $1100.00 for your articles. That is good. But after you are qualified and have a business name, he pretends he paid you in the current tax year and four other preceding years $1,000,000.00. But, he never did. It is obvious he did not. It has something to do with his need to be involved or hold on to you or was it to cover you in this rough and tumble world? It is just that it generated a false tax debt with the government that is annoying and not really worth the crime of filing a false tax return; 4 of them. It's annoying and distracting when you want to focus on getting people out of their Court problems. We have had this joy when you can see the charges withdrawn; all kinds of people; Afghans, Indian Guyanese people, Trinidadians, Jamaicans, people from the Philippines, White people etc.
