      Waldo, don't be ridiculous. This is about kids. Join the thread I created on the subject.

      Proms ARE serious, how the hell else can they get drunk and laid?

      Your Teacher? Wait they're on strike. :-/

  2. Yes. The government will want to drag this on but it will backfire. It's been also said that the government will allow 3 weeks of strikes to occur to save enough money to pay for a pay raise for teachers. Sneaky tactic don't fool the BCTF.
  3. Why should teachers picket when they are technically unemployed? They don't get paid for summer. Think before you post.
  4. Fassbeder and Cameron will go down as destroyers of public education. However, the public will not put up with it as the BCTF is gaining new supporters every day, especially after they understand how the courts sided in favor of the BCTF.
  5. An update from the CBC . The audacity of the government to cut 10% as they forcibly lock teachers out. This government has NO CLUE. Striking B.C. teachers fight lockout pay cut at LRB Government argues it has the right to cut teachers' pay 10% during partial lockouthttp://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/striking-b-c-teachers-fight-lockout-pay-cut-at-lrb-1.2658496
  6. Because we live in a democracy and the government works for the people. If a majority are for the teachers, then the gov't should be forced to give teachers A FAIR DEAL. That is all they are asking for. A FAIR DEAL
  7. I've read the comments after this article and roughly 80-90 % are in favor of the BCTF and teachers. More proof that Clark miscalculated the public's opinion. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-teachers-strike-to-continue-next-week-1.2656893
  8. You lie. Why would Jim call you? Anyway, I see you are getting desperate with nonsense.
  9. You asked for a poll and I delivered. Sorry it's against what you thought.
  10. Here's one poll. http://thetyee.ca/Polls/2014/05/26/Teacher-Strike-Action/?results=true
  11. That's the best you got? Look at the polls. You don't like the fact and you won't admit that the BCTF is winning the PR war. You just can't brin yourself to accept the fact that you are wrong on the whole situation.
  12. Happy to see BC public overwhelmingly in favour of teachers. Too bad Neo-Libs.

  13. I've posted facts. the public supports the BCTF. That makes some people angry. Check the twitter feed that I provided for facts, Michael. Look at what real teachers are having to endure. The BC Liberals made a huge miscalculation and they had better admit they made a serious mistake and rectify this fight they picked with the BCTF and teachers who are fighting for students rights.
  14. Ahhh, PCT. So misinformed, you are, it's embarrassing. If there was a referendum on the Job Action, I would say around 70% of the public would favour the BCTF. Striking teachers around BC are reporting that they are receiving A LOT of public support. Many students have made signs in support of teachers. Many parents and public are bringing teachers cookies and doughnuts. Sorry this doesn't fit with your slanted, uninformed narrative, but I have to set you straight. FYI, go to https://twitter.com/search?f=realtime&q=%23bced&src=typd to see the piles of support teachers are getting. You crack me up, PCT, and at the end of this your posts on this thread will make you look like this forum's all time biggest fool.
  15. I saw pictures from Kelowna that showed a lot of public out supporting teachers. A bridge was full of people supporting the BCTF. I think Clark miscalculated this and it will come back to bite her. Check #bced on twitter to see the excellent support the BCTF is getting from the public. Also, polls are showing the public is in favor of the BCTF. That must upset you PCT.

  17. Hey PCT. Looks like you and your ignorance is losing this battle. BC PUBLIC SUPPORTS TEACHERS!!! HA!! Just what I told ya. You mad bro? http://globalnews.ca/news/1355104/more-british-columbians-support-the-teachers-than-the-government-poll/
  18. Dear Parent of the Average Child: One BC Teacher's Confession. http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/genevieve-hawtree/bc-teachers-strike-2014_b_5387643.html?utm_hp_ref=tw Maybe now PCT, gosthacked, overthere and all the other teacher bashers will get a clue about reality.
  19. BCTF is interested in helping kids through proper funding of public education. You know little. Look at all the picket lines today. Those are the people who care about kids, teachers and BCTF members. I'm glad Jim Iker is not being pushed over by a bullying government.
  20. Well, the public is pissed off at Clark's government over there under funding of public education.
  21. Rotating teacher strikes begin in BC today. Too bad the liberal government has forced this to happen.

      Time to fire a bunch of teachers.

      Time to fire a bunch of politicians.

  22. Rotating strikes start today in BC. I expect to see a majority of the public demand the liberal government fund education properly. The support of the public has been increasing daily while the BC Liberals party it up. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-teachers-rotating-strikes-shut-schools-starting-today-1.2653880
  23. Looks like Wynne will win Ontario. Good to see there is still common sense in that province.She will do great things with a majority.

      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...

      Just like Mike Harris did Cindi! conservatives=liberals!

  24. It's the taxpayers job to fund education. Public education gives everyone a chance, but not when it is under funded. Public education = DEMOCRACY. You against DEMOCRACY?
  25. This teacher explains things perfectly. http://m.pentictonherald.ca/opinion/article_074a43f0-e235-11e3-8906-0017a43b2370.html?mode=jqm#.U4AMVGl1nyB.twitter
