I stole a small chocolate bar from kid's Halloween stash and lost one of a favourite earring pair the next day. This karmic reckoning has happened before, so I admitted to my crime. Kid was mad. I went above and beyond and bought him a regular bar.

I found my f*cking earring. This is real.

Stop hoping that Donald Trump doesn’t mean what he says about Canada.

The real game, as we all know deep down, is making Canada more resilient and less dependent on the U.S. #Opinion

Right? It’s all fun and games until Barney leaves.

Then it’s no fun at all.

I believe that this pipeline proposal is, literally, a pipe dream. BC and FNs will never approve it. Millions of ABs have no interest in paying for it. I suspect the majority of Canadians oppose it. It’s just a tool to pin Mark Carney.

Let’s just save the 14M, okay?

This article indicates not only the lack of respect the GoA has for the training of educators but also how out of touch they are with their own curriculum.

Let’s talk again about how much they’re paying parents (of young students) to deliver this nonsense.

*I am not an academic*
Some of the older studies set up artificial class groupings as controls. But looked at 15-25 students. Is there any North American work that looks at classes with 35-40 students? With varying numbers of coded kids? #abed

I love SF for its ability to discuss a subject at length w/o political fallout. The Ministry for the Future (KSR) investigates the problem with economics as the main driver of power in a world threatened by climate. Environmental terrorists were the climate heroes in the story.

"reading the room properly"? In terms of public opinion, perhaps. In terms of the planet being on fire, no, he did not read anything 'properly'. The current moment absolutely does demand a full court press, and anyone saying otherwise is wrong.

He’s not a career politician so why did he want to get elected? He doesn’t need the job, right?

Perhaps he realizes that the current moment does not demand a full court press on climate change. I’m not saying he’s right to ignore it, but he definitely was reading the room properly.

Sorry, Robin. I knew it was a joke. I just wanted it out there that many of these “oppressed Christians” are more than happy to belittle the beliefs of others, based upon their devotion to their own evidence-lacking deity.

I’m all for a Spaghetti God. No more white weddings.

I’ve met some of these people. They want zero knowledge of any god outside their own. One woman laughed out loud during a session about the Hindu pantheon.

Why do you think they’re trying to take over education?

There are entirely too many op-eds fueling “information” out there. It’s like the newspaper industry is just trying to keep up with SM influencers.

This comment makes me feel like I’ve got something stuck between my teeth.

Like, Canadian demand? Or, do you think we should be expanding our oil sands and supplying the endless appetite of the USA?

honest question: Are the political/economic leaders just jettisoning our global climate commitments? I don't see how we meet our obligations while having ongoing growth in our oil industry.
