I am a lifelong advocate for public education and running with COPE for School Board Trustee on unceded sḵwx̱wú7mesh, sel̓íl̓witulh, and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm territory.
@MickeyD33 I have nothing against young hockey players dreaming about playing for their country. I like hockey. I go to games. What I object to is the belief of many players that ALL kids dream of playing hockey. That’snot true. Of course it can’t be true.
Guess what, Junior hockey players. All kids don’t dream of playing hockey for Canada. A lot of kids dream of having food on the table, sharing meals with their family, and being warm.
@JaerodThorn @davegrapes @JeanSwanson_@steeletalk Jaerod, I read lots of empathy in your comment towards may who have legitimatereasons for not being able to “work their butts” off, like we do or did.
I am so disappointed that @CarrieBercic's, @EricaJaaf's and particularly my fearless running mate's, @DianaDaydream, articulate, passionate, and knowledgeable voices won’t be at the VSB table.
