© Mathew McCarthy/Waterloo Region RecordSandor Dosman, the operator of the popular Veritas Cafe at Wilfrid Laurier University, has apologized over the 'slave' joke in a job ad. 'I wouldn’t have done it if I knew this was going to happen. I have no job now,' he says.
The apparent reason? A tongue-in-cheek help wanted ad that asked for a "slave" to help run the café.
On Monday, Veritas Café operator Sandor Dosman was brought into a boardroom and told the recent advertisement he'd posted online had ruffled some feathers.
In the ad, he joked he wanted "a new slave (full-time staff member) to boss (mentor) around Veritas Cafe." The ad was clearly intended as to be humorous, with jokes about man-buns, tattoos and food safety because "we try to not kill our customers."
But Dosman says he was told his contract with the student group was being terminated as a result, and soon he was being escorted off campus by two security officers.
"This came completely out of left field. I'm still in shock," said Dosman, who had run the café for four and a half years. "It was just black and white, 'You are done.' Now I'm out of the job and I have no idea what I'm going to do next."
Comment: The EU recently extended sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine crisis, so it's worth revisiting what the real issue is. As Zuesse makes clear in the article above from last year, for the West, it is a matter of property (and domination). For Russia, it is a democratic, human-rights issue. Plain and simple. It's self-evident once you look into it. Case in point, these to videos, the first of which covers the Korsun massacre in Crimea prior to reunification, and the second of which documents U.S. support for real Nazis in Ukraine.
