David Smith

Maybe Smith Dept: Because as soon as Smith completed the program, his employer ordered his transfer from Montreal to Toronto, according to Montreal Gazette. In the Old Testament, the scapegoat is a goat that was sent out into the desert symbolically bearing the sins of the Israelites so that they would be cleansed of them and david Smith might not get much use from the threemonth intensive Frenchimmersion program his employer ordered him to take. But maybe Smith got something out of the program anyway. Maybe he learned the French expression "bouc missaire," which means "scapegoat." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
