Sunday night!

Bruce “Spanky” McAllister shut down one students mic during the “Alberta Next” panel so that young man couldn’t get his message across…

Well…

Evan’s back.

AND he brought a bunch of friends for a panel discussion on Alberta Education!

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

I was so surprised when I found out he was a lawyer.

This is another very good reason to pay attention to school board trustee elections. #CdnEd #AbEd #AbTrustees

There's a literal flat-earther running for the Edmonton Public School board.

That's where Alberta is at right now

Reading "Parable of the Sower" for the first time. It's like Octavia E. Butler had a crystal ball.

A very good book but rather scary. Not in a Halloweenie kinda way.

Oof I'm down a rabbit hole trying to parse this line in this article:

"According to a 2017 Fraser Institute report, the average after-tax income for a significant majority of independent school families is comparable to, or even slightly less than, the average income for public school families"

Just a reminder that the world’s gone mad and none of this is normal.

Wow....you got that fellow hash tagged? I took a screenshot of his old Twitter account once. It was NOT a very nice picture he showed prior to his Oilers one. Same dog though.

Posted this to Facebook 9 years ago today. It's why I have such little patience for the "No one could have predicted it would be this bad!" people. Some of us did predict it. And we tried to warn people.
Donald Trump has done so many unbelievable things during this election that he has almost lost his capacity to shock.  Last night's promise to jail his political opponent was only the latest example, but let's not forget that he has also...
1. Indicated that his political opponent should be assassinated.
2. Openly incited his supporters to violently attack his opponents' supporters.
3. Instructed security at his rallies to violently restrict press access. 
4. Invited a foreign power to interfere in the election. 
5. Indicated that he would use nuclear weapons in low-grade tactical situations.
6. Indicated that he would withdraw the United States from NATO and other international organizations/treaties.
7. Openly expressed admiration for some of the world's most violent and repressive national leaders. 
8. Promised to use racial & religious qualifications to bar people from entering the country. 
9. Bragged about sexually assaulting and/or indicated a desire to sexually assault women. 
10. Openly mocked a disabled person when he knew the cameras were rolling.  
11. Promised to restrict the press' First Amendment freedoms.
12. Indicated a desire not only to fight terrorists, but "take out their families" as well. 
13. Indicated that racial/national background characteristics are disqualifying for federal judges. 
14. Has expressed a stunning ignorance of and disinterest toward the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the separation of powers system.  
This is just what i can remember off the top of my head; I'm sure there are more equally galling/dangerous incidents.  
Individually any one of these incidents should disqualify a presidential candidate, and probably would in a normal year. Taken as a whole they indicate a candidate who is so far outside the mainstream of American politics that he should never have been let in. Even if you stipulate that Hillary Clinton has done everything she has ever been accused of doing (which she hasn't), Donald Trump would still be th…

Just imagine! #AbEnergy

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

From the DM’s…

Meanwhile, in the land of privately owned, for profit care…

Allegedly long term care homes have stopped using overnight adult diapers and are only using daytime ones because they’re cheaper.

Even though they allegedly compromise care.

Would imagine this will begin to happen elsewhere as well.
