I, along with thousands of other teachers in this nation are concrned with our eroding democracy. The Canadian Teachers Federation is leading a movement to restore democracy in Canada. The "Hear My Voice" campain is gaining steam. http://vox.ctf-fce.ca/default.aspx?lang=EN&set=1

PIK, you always give me a good chuckle with your posts. The government is rife with scandal; I guess you think that is really great. Canada need to go to the model that public education uses; where equality and diversity are the main focal points of a vibrant and tolerant nation.

I doesn't much matter. The CPC will be kicked to the curb in 2015 and Justin Trudeau will enjoy a long reign as PM cleaning up the garbage in this once proud country.

Robocalls is a tactic out of the CPC playbook.

The CPC has all the dogs out tying to dig up dirt on the opposition. Declining pulll numbers result in desperation.

I love that claim, "I don't want kids doing drugs, so if we make it far, far easier to get (not to mention socially acceptable) then kids will stop using it" I hope he is being facetious for otherwise he is even less clever than I had assumed. If taxes and regulations are too restrictive then the black market will endure, with the only difference being that it shall be even more difficult to enforce laws against it. I would fully agree that the current model is not working, but I would not agree that is because of a "War on Drugs" I find people frequently flaunting their Marijuana use, in public and do not know anyone who has had any legal troubles over it (including acquaintances who have had to go to the hospital, and gotten involved in car accidents whilst under the influence of such drugs). I recently heard over the radio that they were deregulating medicinal marijuana in BC or some such, as I recall there is(or shall be) a store with a doctor accepting walkins and they basically said that no one would be turned away, can that really be called a war on drugs? There are those government subsidised safe injection sites, not to mention cities handing out free needles can that really be called a war on drugs?

As long as the Union bosses for generations have used Detroit for the Money stings what do they care. They are banking the rest of America will pay for the pillaging of a City they fleeced. Besides Obama said Detroit could not fail. So other will pay the price of the Collectivists greed. Progressivism is the rot of nihilism, the cancer of souls so callused that only results decay of not only the beings it effects. It demolishes the physical landscape as well. People say sin does not exist but in the minds of men. I think Detroit proves them wrong.

What does Kim Kardashian and Beyonce think about all this, and where are they getting their curvy bras these days. That is America these days, no one steeped in Americas current media cares or even knows about the forward thinking titans of industry like Ford and Dodge bros., this is hip hop and shuck and jive America where its so cool to vote for failure and not even know it. The president is a "DUD" America, to think you led the world and now with your obsession with all things Hollywood and Unions and Oprah you have sunk to these depths, sad

In Canada, one wonders if devout NDP and Liberal supporters are taking note of Detroit's destruction?! Of course! They're revving up their efforts, emboldened by the success of the Detroit program. What is it anybody thinks they're trying to create? They want DETROIT, all across the Western world. A world where the misery is spread equally, and the masses are easily controlled with nothing more than free food and leaky roofs. Detroit is a Leftist success story, not a failure. They took a city of vibrant capitalism and destroyed it in thirty years, and they all got rich doing it. Win!

It's becoming the job of the public school system to raise kids these days.

It's hard to give a rebuttal to someone who constantly blows sunshine up his own @$$.

Detroit has been unable to get itself out of the hole dug by the Bush administration.

The Ten Poorest City’s City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level 1. Detroit , MI 32.5% 2. Buffalo , NY 29..9% 3. Cincinnati , OH 27.8% 4. Cleveland , OH 27.0% 5. Miami , FL 26.9% 5. St. Louis , MO 26.8% 7. El Paso , TX 26.4% 8. Milwaukee , WI 26.2% 9. Philadelphia , PA 25.1% 10. Newark , NJ 24.2% U.S. Census Bureau, 2006 American Community Survey, August 2007 Detroit,MI (1st on the list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961. Buffalo,NY(2nd) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1954. Cincinnati,OH (3rd) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1984. Cleveland,OH (4th) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1989. Miami,FL (5th) has never had a Republican mayor. St. Louis, MO (6th) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1949. El Paso,TX, (7th) has never had a Republican mayor. Milwaukee, WI (8th) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1908. Philadelphia, PA (9th) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1952. Newark, NJ (10th) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1907. However, it's been republican presidents and governors who have caused the most damage to these cities.

When the bond holders get told they'll have to settle for 8 cents on the dollar and wait 2 years to collect, other cities will have a tough time getting loans if their finances are not in order. This could indeed get a domino effect going.

You have a bad attitude toward helping your own kids. It's the parents job to make sure their kids are completing homework and getting help with concepts they struggle with. This is the 21st century folks.

As we prepare kids with 21st century skills, we must change the way lessons are developed, and we must change the classroom setting. Traditional things aren't needed anymore. Here is the flipped math classroom, something I will be incorporating in my classroom this fall. This is truly exciting. https://sites.google.com/site/mathwithmrsdodge/the-flipped-classroom

Take a look at all the extreme weather happening in Canada. That is the catastrophic consequence of human driven climate change. Deniers are fools.

Using what word?
