How does one pronounce that name - c as in "cat" or c as in "garcon"? And how about the y; siimilar to i or u?
At any rate, the unfortunate issue is that DFAIT chose this well-trained adolescent; a product of Canadian Universities which make Slippery Rock look like West Point, coupled with Canadian white ANGLO female culture which has been molded to hate men, especially white men and if it's not white, Jewish, Christian, it is noble and must be respected.
Miss Procyshen is perhaps an extreme example of the new Canadian reality but not alone.
The Canadian Broadcasting Service hires many females in both their radio and television divisions. I have heard many female animators showering praise and respect for awful world leaders; mainly Arab Muslims, as well as their appointed spokespersons who give them free reign to malign Israel, as I am sure you know based upon your experience with Mrs. Travanti from the CBC.
In fact, this mindset is common amongst FEMALE journalists, of which I could list many who work for CBC CNN FOX and many news papers. One example: Folowing the violemt riots by Arab Muslim youths at Concordia University, more than one female Canadian journalists working forthe Montreal Gazette referred to it as a "dust up"
