Now do you see what @elonmusk means?

Just announced: US Republican Party to officially change name to "Washed Up Reality And Daytime TV Personalities".

Everything Justin Trudeau said condemning the Iranian regime and advocating for women's rights could also be said about Canada and Indigenous women in Canada. Just sayin'.

I can barely handle that this is real, but Glen Murray is running for mayor again, and I once wrote about him, so this is a reminder that he was a driving force of #gentrification and #homelessness and #colonial ideas about the city, so don't vote for him.

@BMark1320 Thank you for providing a comprehensive summary. These all sound like good ideas. Did they weigh in on "peepeepoopoo" memes?

@JasonElsom It is "a" McDonald's Big Mac.

My Op-Ed on back to school made it into the WFP today. Take a gander, get yourself and your kids vaccinated, and let's get the party started. #MBEd

Make schools safe so kids can take risks

Clever.

@BehrendtMark @BrianPallister "I'm sorry that you misunderstood." The classic non-apology. ⛽

So I took @CliffCullenMLA's advice and looked at BEST (again) to understand Bill 64. I am more confused than ever. Almost every single action mentioned is possible without Bill 64. The only ones not possible are the actions of making Bill 64. What is the purpose of Bill 64? #mbed

They seem quite fond of the idea of public schools competing with one another. An approach that will never produce equity. @MxBrownA215

@BehrendtMark There is actually an explanation for this... as a cost-saving initiative, most of the PC caucus was replaced by cardboard cut-outs about 7 months ago and no one noticed.

Great article by Kendi on CRT (that also points to what's so problematic with populism, not to mention the compounding issue of widespread general media illiteracy.)

@seftonm @MBSchoolBoards @CliffCullenMLA @PCcaucus A board of school trustees costs less than 1 MLA. Costs of "engagement officers" are yet to be disclosed. "Designates" of regional directors are undefined and salaries are not disclosed. We're in for a whole lot of expensive bureaucracy - not $40 million in classrooms.

@gsutts97 Ah, but Geoff... when else do you get to enjoy the luxury of deciding whether to shit in a bush or hold it in for 3-4 days, while black flies drown in the sweat on your sternum? When else?

[Garth Shindle @gshindle]

So... if you thought they might reconsider Bill 64... read this. They don't give shit what you think. They will privatize every aspect of operations and cut solid local jobs in favor of company profits. Cost will be the same to taxpayers. https://t.co/WF84McXe4m

@BehrendtMark @CliffCullenMLA I just wonder which Minister will get the Education portfolio next month.
