桃姐

SBB:

I didn't know abt the movie 桃姐 till I read your comments and blog article.

The truth be known, most 桃姐 were fired as soon as the employer had found out the child had developed a strong attachment to the servant, and/or vice versa.

Conflict of Interests COI

Here are the comments I left at SBB's blog http://mindnecessity.blogspot.ca/2012/02/mr.html "Mr. Talkative cannot face the Truth" March 11, 2012:

SBB:

Public service executives must not involve in conflict of interests, but must also avoid the APPEARANCE /PERCEPTION of conflict of interests. 曾先生 would have been penalized if he were in Canada !!!

Ref: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

".... On the other hand, an individual could be penalized if he knowingly was responsible for an action which turns out to give rise to an appearance of a conflict of interest, although he does not know at the time the action was committed that it would create such an appearance .... "

安樂死 ? / The case of Robert Latimer

I left the following comments at http://mindnecessity.blogspot.ca/2012/03/tony-nicklinson-bbc-58-tony-nicklinson.html

SBB:

*** The following must not be considered as legal opinion in any shape or form ***

My understanding is that here in Canada, it is not illegal to commit suicide, but assisting someone or causing another person's death in the name of 安樂死 is still a criminal offence.
