In Trump's grand scheme it won't matter what or who claims. Jr., isn't there to facilitate american healthcare. He was put there to do exactly what he's doing destroying public health. It wouldn't surprise me the 1% private facilities have functioning healthcare services and information.

Elections Alberta has approved a citizen-initiated petition application to gather signatures in support of the proposal to end public funding to independent/private schools.

Calgary teacher Alicia Taylor says she brought it forward because it could help improve funding for public schools. #AbEd

I wonder if we should move all UCP government documents to the fiction section or recoup losses and sell them as bird cage liners or handy wipes. Imagine wiping you ass with Jeans coal mining approval.

Hey soon these private schools will have to compete for funding. If it goes the same as the US, they'll be using passing students to determine the amount. They lower the passing requirements to facilitate more funds. Pandering to parents of entitled delinquents. What a waste.

When they tell you who they are, believe them. The US holding court complete with jester, CPC trouncing the rights of children and women, UCP spreading these neoliberal(and eww christian) tactics to all levels of civic decision making.

Pierre Poilievre laughed in Parliament as a 7th grader’s letter thanking MPs for the national school food program was read aloud.

He voted against that program.
Then mocked a child who supported it.

And no major outlet covered it.

Since "The Last of Us" season 2 failed to grab the same numbers as the first season, they have decided to make it a reality series. Season 3 will feature the last sane Albertans surviving the idiot apocalypse.

We here in Alberta are so hard done by. We have no money for teachers or healthcare workers, but hey we can scare up 14 million to pad oil cartel pockets.

Hang on, the religious element of the Con-Rep parties are using their power to coerce main stream politics into a christian crusade against the majority population who couldn't give a rats ass. Now they claim "christian" persecution because they're acting like dicks?

I signed as soon as I could, haven't heard how well it's going or how many more signatures it needs.

Instead of counting by hand, maybe they'll opt for punch cards to shorten the time.

US President Donald Trump tested and was not infected by the Corona virus. Experts from the Robert Koch Institute are not surprised. The virus has been shown to affect lungs, not assholes.
