It’s ridiculous to what parents are subjecting their children and horrific and unconscionable to what we have allowed our provincial government to subject the school staff.
So you didn’t miss another mortgage payment. Now you get to miss several more.
Why are people like lemmings running off a cliff? Why do they submit to such horrific circumstances?
Fear.
Your fear is misplaced if you’re sending your children to school. You should be afraid.
Afraid of a government that exposed your children to a deadly virus which is currently ravaging Quebec, Ontario, and Alberta.
Because the schools were opened without appropriate measure to ensure safety. To keep oligarchs wealthy and business owners in profits.
You know who else is in danger? The essential workers we cheered for in March and April. People who keep society running. Transportation, Grocery stores, gas stations, pharmacies, food security, garbage removal, all those people who had to work.
Our fear led us down the garden path. The premier is a Pied Piper who whistled his tune and put our children in peril.
Why are we sending our children to school in a pandemic in a second wave upswing?
I didn’t send my son. He’s at home relatively safe, trying to conduct online learning without a camera or microphone in his classroom because the Edmonton Catholic school board either can’t afford to pay for it or is too busy trying not to kill teachers and children.
Yes I have the financial security to keep my son home. My husband is an essential worker.
But I would have left my house and abandoned my car over the life of my child.
Three weeks ago I was chastised for not understanding the tough choices parents had to make.
I don’t understand those choices. And I resent them because it puts my husband at risk and my older son as well, since he has a full time job now.
So the risk to my family has expanded exponentially.
Hope your rent/mortgage and car are worth it. God help you if any of your family gets ill. And god keep my family safe from the gullibility of the public and the government’s manipulation of their fear of losing everything.
How foolish to put your most valued treasures at risk for a house or a car.
Food isn’t a concern. Neighbours, friends, family can assist with feeding families in difficult situations. We’ve done it before.
Possessions are immaterial. Your loved ones are the priority.
Not your stuff.
My husband and children mean everything to me. They are who I live for. They are my world.
I’m saddened by the myopic and self interested choices of others whose fears are losing everything.
You will lose everything if you keep allowing a Pied Piper to lead you and your children down the garden path.

This is why liberals and lefties should stop pointing fingers. The left is not very good at it. But the right excels at double standards and hypocrisy.
Yesterday, PMJT revealed that CPC is led by a man courting white supremacists.
But today, people are repeating the word “whacko” in relation to the PM and BC drug policy and debating whose leader was more ethical.
No one is discussing white supremacy being given legitimacy by PP this past weekend.
Who gives a crap about decorum & process in QP?
Apparently it’s more important to focus on the process and decorum than the fact the attack on the Speaker was a coordinated event by CPC & perfectly demonstrates that CPC IS courting white supremacists and attacking the first Canadian black Speaker for doing his job.
Weak leadership of Nicholas II & an uninterrupted feudal system were inadequate to provide for the whims of the elite and the sustenance of the poor. He became untenable in an time when rigid social status was being challenged by liberalism.
Marxism is a 19th century Enlightenment influenced theory of social organization and economics that is an ideal, not reality. For all the effort Marx made to emphasize his ideas be brought to fruition through revolution, the public often confuses Marxism with anarchism.
Our social and political systems legitimize devaluation of the poor, PWD, seniors and children because they do not produce profits, rather they consume resources.
Society would need to reconsider the premise of its systemic foundations to alter this reality.
The premise that most human beings are just capital that can either produce or consume goods and services became reality at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. A product of feudalist social strata.
Why people fail to recognize these beliefs is unknown, they surround us.
It’s the same strategy that was used for Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplements for citizens over age 65.
Benefits for seniors is actually the province’s jurisdiction as listed in the BNA 1867.
After industrialization in Canada and people began moving to cities and towns, seniors were dying in abject poverty. So the feds stepped in. But not without some constitutional manoeuvring first.
People forget, retirement is a 20th century concept.
Cascading series of failures means individuals are unable to address all the problems. Frankly, I’d be surprised if people were aware of all the failures occurring simultaneously.
This is a strategy.
Multiple serious problems means the electorate is divided in attention.
Some will focus on strip mining at headwaters for most of Alberta’s fresh water supply.
Some will focus on drought and access to water.
Some will focus on NICU imminent collapse.
What few will do because these catastrophic failures are emotionally overwhelming on their own, is to recognize there is one source for all of these problems.
No, it’s not Danielle Smith. She’s just a figurehead.
I always remember Art Finkelstein was a man of Jewish descent who manipulated voter perception ruthlessly to elect some very antisemitic people. Because it made him wealthy and in high demand by the far right.
