Yes the JoHos and uber-Bible bangers put ban motions every few years to the School Boards in all 3 areas I've ever lived. They were always 'round tabled' for later (once it's too late) discussion. Along with the usual 'ban sex ed' and the most preposterous - ban safe sex discussion (during the peak of AIDS) appeals.

Duhhh! Repeat what I just said word for word and tell me I said something different. The person at the head of the table with the gavel (whatever you want to call them) does not make the decisions. A majority does, not one person. When I went to school, and the schools my kids went to there were no 'parades', they did have costume contests and the School Board's rulings were to table the petition by some butthole parents to cancel Halloween things as they were Satanic. Once again whatever tiny, insignificant smidgeon of a part Halloween plays in Canadian culture, the same disgruntled lot blows it up like it's an issue to give a flying f*** about.

UCP leadership Alberta new premier
herbie replied to Jack9000's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
Woke. The radical Left, Dupe. The 'woke shit' didn't lessen one bit under Harper or Trump so it's got nothing to do with left or right or politics in general. We can tell that the 'right' is so played out and disproven that it's the only thing they can think about so might as well blame 'the left' for it. Anything remotely decent or addressing social inequities is counter to social conservatism, isn't it? You don't want a fiscally responsible and fair gov't to run the country, you want someone that will impose your views on everyone else and to hell with managing a country. -
The Biden Effect: Just so you don't forget
herbie replied to reason10's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Gee gas is $10 a gallon in Vancouver and inflation's almost 10% and they don't have Biden to kick around. Why don't you criticize him for considering buying oil from ENEMIES instead of Alberta oil? Or would that be just too legitimate for you? -

Yes, and there were so many visitors at the time locals referred to those people as "Albortions". No one around here's surprised an anti-vax Convidiot Residential School burial denying Trump lackey like Danielle "Palin" won the UCP. -
So I gather most posters know as little about how boards work as they do how politics works. Never been on one to see, never got involved, just 'heard' from someone as ill informed as themselves and as lacking in rational thought. A "Board" is a committee, the people elected to it are called Directors of the Board. Some School Boards refer to them as Trustees, the Chairperson might possibly be referred to as the Director. The person acting as such does not make the decisions, motions are made by the members, voted on by the board and approved if passed. So the headline should read "The School Board" not "The Director of the School Board". And I ask again WTF does the School Board have to do with parades unless it's one sponsored by schools or on school property? I ask again also - WTF does a Halloween parade remotely have to do with Canadian culture? I'm finding that knee jerk reaction to erroneous and inflammatory headlines by the same lot of deplorables that ignores every despicable and criminal act by anyone they consider 'on their side' is getting tiring. The dim milk like perceptions of reality seem to indicate cataracts of the brain is the latest pandemic.

What does the School Board have to do with parades? What kind of board has one director? For that matter WTF does Halloween have to do with Canadian culture? If you look hard enough for something to bitch about and stretch your imagine to the utmost, you'll be sure to find it.

The Biden Effect: Just so you don't forget

No wonder Biden looks so old if he has to run around to every gas station in the USA every morning and set the prices himself. You should let the oil companies to that, they're all Honest Abe goodly souls. They'd never rip you off. -
No shit - compared to like 1974.

My wife told me a new supermarket employee hunted her down in the office to say that a customer wanted a gallon of milk and she couldn't find any.... who's the dummy? The older people who still calls 4L jugs gallons or the kid who didn't know 4L is close enough? Possibly it was a US tourist asking who was totally lost over metric... BTW bacon was 'shrinkflated' years ago from 500 to 375gm Once in a blue moon you can still see 500gm packages. And butter - yes that's it. Cheaper to change the print on the label than the machine. And the machines are all made in USA like those stupid 355ml, 591ml etc bottles and cans we gotta put up with. Just can't adjust them to pur 5ml less or 9ml more, that requires effort.

Drax (UK): "green" burning of Canada's old growth forests
herbie replied to myata's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Well you can feel glad because today's news is full of reports of mills shutting down because of a shortage of pulp wood. Next time you wipe your ass with your bare left hand you can think of how many Sacred Trees you're saving. -
No need to provide examples of the obvious to people who are blatantly racist at heart. Thinking the economic status of specific races disproves the existence of racism is simply f***ed in the head thinking. Posting "Asians earn more than white people" to make your point... honest to God. Like a bunch of Proud Boy Yanks justifying that there's more blacks in jail because more blacks are criminals...

Anything but woke. Just modern takes of Death Wish and Dirty Harry from the 1970s.
