I just read this on Facebook:

Someone asked "Why do many British people not like Donald Trump?"

Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:

Today, I had the opportunity to visit the Renert school. I have many constituents whose children study at the school and it was a pleasure to have a full scale tour for the first time since 2013, which is when this school first opened.

The Renert School is one of Calgary’s leading mathematics schools and it is also known for its commitment to innovative education. I was delighted to see the dance studio, the art classes, the martial arts lessons, and the musical theatre, all of which aptly describe a very well rounded and holistic curriculum.

Many thanks to Aaron and Moshe Renert for the tour, the feedback and the invitation to come back to share some information on Advanced Education with the students.

Calgary has 8000 new students/Public Ed

No new schools.

Children sharing desks…in hallways.

Every aspect of Public Ed was CUT in ‘24 Budget

PRIVATE Schools GOT AN INCREASE OF $408 MILLION.

Wow.

Here’s Robert De Niro’s full statement about how Donald Trump should NEVER be president again:

“I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men.  I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty.

Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly.

I see an evil one.

Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. 

Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped.

Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego.  We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership.  We tried to warn the world in 2016.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination.  Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world.

We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.

The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior.  That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.

So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:
This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it?  I know I’m preaching to the choir here.  What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.   We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. 

They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice.  Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.  Let’s not talk about “democracy.”  “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. 

Let’s talk about right and wrong.  Let’s talk about humanity. 

Let’s talk about kindness.  Security for our world. 

Safety for our families. 

Decency. 

Let’s welcome them back. 

We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.”

This is going to be long. Sorry.

The entire "parent's rights" thing happening in AB right now is entirely based on strawman arguments, red herrings and sheer imagination. 1/12

I’m an 4th generation Albertan, born and raised. All the stereotypes about us doesn’t faze me much, in fact I find the cowboy, mullet persona hilarious (My kid is proud to have a mullet). In reality Albertans are my friends, family, co-workers and community that I love and cherish. Tonight Smith embarrassed us all by allowing southern nonsense bigots into our save Canadian space. As Albertans we need to take a long hard look at who we are, what’s important for our province. How do we want to be perceived by the rest of the country/world for future investors, in all industries. Tonight Smith was absolutely shameful and violated our beautiful provincial future.

I've had several replies to my last post about my partner's impossible #Alberta classroom size of 35 & 37 students saying "So what? It was like that when I was growing up"

Yes. Teachers know that. We know that. The Millenials and Gen X of this province remember this

Our information ecosystem has become a massive false-balance machine. Fringe positions that have already been studied & shown to be wrong are legitimized, driving spread of misinformation...
