Someone once asked me to give them a #leadership title so that ppl would listen to him/her. Dont u think that’s backwards thinking? Gain the trust & respect of ppl first & then you’ll be a natural leader. You don’t need a title for that #respect#credibility#trust#authenticity

Some have yachts.
Some have canoes.
Some are on rafts.
Some are waving.

You still wouldn't have enough money to cover Alberta's loss on that pipeline today.

1) Yo-yoing is unfortunate but necessary part of the Covid school plan.
2) The school Covid protection plan hasn't been updated for either VOCs or the evidence that Covid is an aerosol issue.

Schools were always a significant source of COVID infections, though the risks were mitigable. Variants have changed this. If we insist on keeping schools open, as they have significant exposure risks, teachers and support staff must be prioritized for vaccinations.
