  1. Hearing stories of BC teachers having to beg for paper. Yes, you read correctly, paper. The assault on public education and democracy continues. And most of you are too naive to understand.

      Yes, there is an assault on public education. I didn't want to say it until the strike was over though. Suckers!!!

      The whole reason there's no deal is the gov is trying to get the union to abandon their court case against the gov. They've won 2 decisions, and the gov is on its last appeal. High stakes.

      How come you didn't respond to the last article, Shock Doctrine in BC? Curious why you avoid.

      Waldo, what about the Shock Doctrine and BC? What did you think of that piece? Maybe you didn't comprehend it.

      Waldo, I'm disappointed you can't respond to something when challenged. You use immature humor to evade.

      stand up to it??? You couldn't even define it. It simply became a buzzword you 'liberally' threw around. It's pervasive - who you gonna call... ghostbusters?

      Just admit you don't understand the concept destroying us. I told you to get off the pot long ago.

      Traditionally, the CPC polls the best when they are on summer break and not actually doing anything. These numbers have to be troubling for them. Socialist nailed the Ontario Liberal majority, when it looked unlikely, let's hope he's right about another Con loss.

      I know more about politics than most. Justin will win easily. And Overthere, education is a provincial matter. Some people have no clue.

      JT will be happy about the latest commitee findings with regard to NDP constituency offices. With that the NDP joins the CPC in the book fiddling biz. I hear just today Mackay is considering easing MJ laws so we can see the desperation.

  10. So I find out that a few of you are behind a conspiracy to have me permanently banned from here.

      Waldo, you have plenty of wisdom, but you lack knowledge on public education and its importance. You're still on the pot.

      In my experience a lot of teachers are on pot too.

      It is absolutely a PR stunt... no one is falling for it.

  14. The BC Liberals didn't even attempt to bargain this weekend. They won't stand a chance next election after these shenanigans and this attack on public education. Conditions in BC schools are abysmal.

  15. Quite a while ago I predicted a Wynne majority. Right again.

      I had a Hudak minority to show. That's a wager ticket I'm happy is worthless.

  18. Happy to see BC public overwhelmingly in favour of teachers. Too bad Neo-Libs.

  19. Rotating teacher strikes begin in BC today. Too bad the liberal government has forced this to happen.

      Kathleen Wynne is displaying even more chutzpah than Dalton McGuinty did in his campaigns. She is seriously calling her reckless, spendthrift scandal ridden government "safe hands" and claiming her massive tax and spend promises are a balanced approach although even the NDP is calling her spending plans reckless.

      In the last three elections it seemed impossible to imagine the Liberals winning but each time they proved the people of Ontario could be fooled and bribed with b...
