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?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pied_Pipe…
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.

#PierrePutin is undermining Canada’s Westminster parliamentary democracy, with his demands that all opposition parties support his confidence motion.

He knows Bloc and NDP will NOT provide a confidence vote leading to an election.

So why does PP persist.

Watch CBC or CTV.
Reporters and news hosts are repeating Poilievre’s demands like they are valid.

But listen to the underlying assumptions in PP’s rhetoric which is being amplified by complicit media.

PP keeps goading NDP leader Singh to bring down the federal govt.
His narrative includes labelling Singh as a sellout. Mainstream media is aiding CPC to remove Singh, not PMJT.

When politicians speak, you must analyze what they say but ALSO to whom they say it.

Singh is in a rhetorical trap. LPC supporters aren’t helping the situation.

@patriciaorpat @PeterHRatcliffe Canadian legal documents are not like American indictments.

Different systems. Typically, reporters & investigative journalists tell the story in Canada, while in the US, allegations are specifically listed in the indictment.
@patriciaorpat @PeterHRatcliffe Investigative journalism has been effectively shut down in Canada.

But even before that was completely in place, details of criminal charges have been kept quiet when charges are dropped or criminals plead guilty to lesser charges.
@patriciaorpat @PeterHRatcliffe For example, SNC-Lavelin corruption details are a mystery because so many of the accused pleaded guilty to lesser charges and the extent of the crime is now closed for public scrutiny.

Interesting to note, the details would have been made public had SNC-Lavelin signed a DPA.

I’m getting really tired of pundits calling for PMJT to step down.

Now that we KNOW it has been Russia poisoning the well and maligning PMJT’s character with fake accusations, conspiracy theories & outright lies, Canadians expect better from pundits, journalists and politicos!
I’m not one of the people throwing accusations around like it’s a sure thing every critic of PMJT is a Russian asset.

But it is incumbent upon every person now commenting on Canadian politics to review their political analysis in light of new revelations and charges.
It has been years of far right pundits and influencers using toxic rhetoric to poison the well.

Continued refusal to incorporate new information is a failure to admit your assessment was wrong.

Suck it up, buttercups!

Your analysis of the situation is faulty & wrong.

The public needs to read this statement. It’s words are parsed carefully to convey a clear message.

Note that 2 corporations locked out workers, but only one corporation’s workers were officially on strike.

CPKC union had given strike notice.

CN had not given strike notice.
The minister assessed the situation and called it a fundamental impasse.

There is no middle ground. The demands by both parties are so disparate, a stalemate was declared by the minister since the impact of the inability to move forward in negotiations impacts all Canadians.
Note that the minister is invoking his legitimate codified authority to secure peace and impose short term and long term solutions. Those solutions will be in the national interest of all Canadians.

Meaning the govt will not be siding with one party or another.

If you thought I was a bit hyperbolic…

Guess who is a major sponsor of Canada Strong & Free’s September 2024 “how to destroy Canadian liberal democracy” conference?

That would be Calgary business community darling CPKC. Koch industries & Canadian Bankers Association as well.

It’s getting really annoying providing bang on analysis and being ignored because people are reluctant to face the truth.
Railway corporations in Canada have an established monopoly. Two corporations making billions in profits control the Canadian economy.

Both just locked out their workers and demand legal protection for removing wages and benefits in exchange for bigger profits for themselves.

Please read this thread. There is every reason to believe Canada would be at the top of the list for Trump.

Canada is one of the strongest global democracies.

Multiple foreign adversaries have been trying to topple the Canadian Liberal Government since LPC was elected.
Four conservative leaders have come up short against PMJT. Which other global leader has managed to keep conservatives at bay?

France and Macron.

That’s it. Every other global leader has been replaced by a more conservative leader who has permitted democratic backsliding.
G7 - US, UK, Japan, Germany, Italy have all suffered democratic backsliding when more conservative leaders were in power.

But who made cooperation between centre left and further left progressives a key strategy to resist democratic backsliding?

That would be Canada and PMJT.
