I was referring to grade school. It's our unis and colleges that are pathetically inclined to indoctrinate kids.
Look around you. My granddaughter is now in gr 8 and she has been totally indoctrinated into the globull warming BS as well as a bunch of other socialist craptrap.

My view being that a student should be able to move from Gander Newfoundland to Pt Hardy BC and be within a day or two of the same place in the curiculium.
So, you are saying that students need to be more like robots, all taking the same curriculum and all being at the same place in their learning skills, because not all children are the same, learn at the same pace or have equal learning abilities.

You hate being a taxslave but want the feds to run everything. You be one mixed up hillbilly.

Thanks for the support. That's a good reason why schools should teach kids HOW to think rather than what to think.

That would be nice. Unfortunately our teachers are more interested in filling kids with NDPee dogma than giving them the skills to investigate matters for themselves. They will all turn out like you. Short on life skills and full of dogma.

Not even close. I'm open to usefull sugestions. I see it as a cost saving measure. Currently in BC alone we have 68 school districts. All with their own top heavy administration including directors of curiculim developement, which is rather stupid and needlessly expensive. With today's mobile society the one place kids should be able to find stability is in school so when they move to a new area they should be learning the same thing. I am not in favor of advancing students until they have passed the required class material for the grade.
I would also put much more into the really bright students and less on the uneducateable. One more thing that requires more investigation it the delivery model. I see no reason why education needs to be delivered by government union employees.

Probably the most fiscally conservative person on this forum. I could be wrong but i cant think of anybody else that would be more than me. Maybe Toro but he hasn’t been here forever

Can't be the way you are advocating on dolling out tax dollars to public workers says you are a social conservative, maybe more of a progressive.

A vote for LIE-berals......................................


is a VOTE FOR civil service union HOG GRAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






Here is a story out of the Post Media detailing the hypocrisy and double- speak of LIE-beral money managers-along with some comments of my own in brackets):

It's time we tackled government debt. By Jim Warren.
Postmedia Network. First posted: Saturday, July 02, 2016 06:30 PM EDT | Updated: Saturday, July 02, 2016 06:39 PM EDT

The federal government should be dedicating specific tax revenues to reduce the debt of Canada’s provincial and municipal governments.

(Sorry-LIE-berals consider that buying votes and staying power is more important than fussing about reducing crippling debt loads!)

In addition, we should be placing restrictions on the total amount of debt provincial and municipal governments can borrow in order to force local politicians to make more realistic decisions about increasing taxes and reducing spending.

(Debt is BAD-one has only to look at the mess in the Pigs-Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain to see that debt can CRIPPLE an entire society! So who would speak in favour of MORE debts for Cdns? And WHY only put limits on provincial and municipal govt? Why not on federal clowns too?)

( Make a LIST and put on it the following who ALL want MORE debt: LIE-berals trying to BUY civil service Hog votes! LIE-berals such as Our brainless Boy prime minister Trudope who follows in his fathers footsteps and wants to DESTROY what he calls Cdn Imperialism! The civil service Hogs themselves who have more entitlements than we can EVER pay for and don’t care if they bankrupt us just so long as they get what they THINK they deserve! Various immigrant groups such as the Muslim supporters of the Cdn Caliphate who want us to collapse and be reborn as a Muslim nation under Sharia Law-the “most perfect system” as THEY call it; and they figure our collapse will come SOONER if we are BANKRUPT and not able to defend ourselves! Muddled reverse racists of groups like Black Lives Matter who don’t care what happens to white people just so long as its bad-and are not smart enough to figure out what will happen to gormless blacks if white govt fails! If the country is bankrupt then WHO will be buying the drugs and the `ho`s and other merchandise? And how will blacks be living if there is no more welfare? Throw in air head environmentalists who want our economy to collapse so we wont `oppress the Earth and its creatures any longer` -and so what if we few survivors of the collapse end up shivering in mud huts and eating our one daily meal of Dandelion greens RAW because trees are sacred and not for burning, building or heating!)

Parliamentary Budget Officer Jean-Denis Fréchette warned in a report last week that Canada’s provinces and sub-national governments are struggling with their finances and their debt levels are unsustainable.

(I have to ask: does this imbecile Frechette realize that our prime minister is all FOR massive debts? The more spending the merrier-so WHAT that the mad spending plan of Our foolish Boy is nothing more than a MASSIVE RETREAD of that old Ontari-owe NDP plan to make us rich by BORROWING MONEY! And we all remember how that worked out-with those Rae days and Hogs besieging Queens Park as replacement premier Mike Harris struggled to restore common sense and logic-while OPP “wacked and stacked” Brainless Hogs who did not know when they were well off!)

(Apparently Frechette has drunk the coolaid and BELIEVES that Our brainless Boy can perform a magic trick and somehow pull something valuable out of his ass! Fifty years of LIE-beral socialism and civil servants now figure robbing Peter to pay Paul and then screwing them both in favour of Hogs is standard govt business! But just what is it that Hogs figure can be collected from ALREADY bankrupt citizens is not clearly spelled out! Oh well, LIE-berals can always restore order by BORROWING EVEN MORE?)

The report looked at total government spending, revenue and debt levels for all levels of government, as well as the Canada Pension Plan and Quebec Pension Plan.

The PBO concluded that after the new spending and infrastructure announcements made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the federal government fiscal plan is sustainable.

However, it also concludes the total sub-national debt for the provinces and cities across Canada is not sustainable, and they require new revenue or spending cuts to bring their debt to sustainable levels.

(What the report tells us is that the provinces and cities are BANKRUPT-and that in a few years-after a series of those THIRTY BILLION PLUS BOOB RAE style Trudope deficits-the federal govt will ALSO be bankrupt. And NOBODY is asking what will happen to the provinces if Ottawa cuts back on transfer payments to bankrupt provinces- as WAS DONE by debt hobbled LIE-beral Jean Chretien? And no-after a certain point -as Boob Rae found out-YOU CANNOT BORROW ANY MORE!)

This presents a huge political and economic problem for Canada’s provinces and cities – and therefore an even bigger problem for Canadians.

When governments borrow money to invest in infrastructure programs like highways, bridges or transit, they build assets for the future with the costs spread out over several generations.

(But borrowing money so govt can buy Hog votes is clearly not sustainable!)

Our country needs this type of spending and Trudeau is working with the provinces and cities to implement the largest infrastructure program in Canadian history.

(Problem is that Boy is really only handing out enough money to REPAIR infrastructure-there will be NOTHING NEW built and certainly no critical new transit produced on his watch!)

The Alberta economy especially needs this shot in the arm, as does Ontario. It means spending money to make money as infrastructure spending helps grow both the economy and tax revenues.

(Apparently it would be useful for LIE-berals to purchase and WATCH the old TVO documentary on the bankruptcy of New Zealand! Infrastructure spending is STILL SPENDING! New Zealand hit the debt wall and had to STOP installing things like sewers in new subdivisions-yeah-picture-AND smell it-brand new houses and the toilets flush DIRECTLY into a trench out back cause there is NO money for pipes! Don’t like the smell and the swarms of vermin living on your shit piled out back of your NICE house? Too f***ing bad-it’s the PRICE of bankruptcy!)

But we need our cities and provinces to dedicate specific tax revenue to pay down these costs over time and to cover interest and debt repayment. They need specific rules to dedicate money to cover these costs and there needs to be limits to how much money can be borrowed.

While federal spending on infrasctructure is sustainable, that is not the case in the provinces.

The answer is not to toss more federal money to the lower levels of government.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul is just more money out of our pockets since there’s only one taxpayer. If your family faced this problem, you would get your fiscal house in order or you would lose your house.

In addition, the provinces are facing an aging population that requires more health care spending than ever before.

(In other words Warren is advocating that we dump LIE-beral clowns in favour of somebody with a spine and a frugal way with money!)

Education spending is more important than ever to ensure our young people can earn enough income to pay enough taxes to take care of the boomers as they retire.

(Other comments have been posted on this site to illustrate that LIE-berals would rather spend on teachers than on health care-even as student enrollment shrinks and numbers of people seeking health care soar-teachers are DEDICATED LIE-beral supporters-medical types are not and as always LIE-beral priorities are
SCREWED in favour of reliable supporters!)

But these fiscal realities come at a cost that today’s politicians must be honest about with taxpayers, instead of just borrowing more money. Taking on more debt to pay for health care is like burning your furniture to heat your house – it’s unsustainable.

We enjoy a standard of care in health and other services that we do not pay for. We have to spend less and live with that quality – or pay the true cost to keep the standards we have.

(I say that`s LIE-beral GARBAGE! LIE-berals have CHOSEN between gravy for Hogs and spending for health care! It’s a SIMPLE EQUATION-more money for gravy means MORE HOG VOTES for LIE-berals and LESS money for health care-which is already being rationed to ordinary people!)

If the federal government just sends more money to cities and provinces, we will not have a proper debate about paying the true costs of our society and the benefits we enjoy.

If the federal government has the fiscal room, it should be dedicated to infrastructure spending or debt relief for the provinces, while putting limits on how much more money they can borrow.

(Its been said before on this site-LIE-beral govt MUST chose between sensible budgets and more gravy for Hogs-and since LIE-berals CANNOT be elected without massive support from their Hog pals, we know LIE-berals will not handle our money wisely without having a gun put to their heads! What`s REALLY funny about the Frechette remarks about debt is that he is a federal Hog and yet he recognizes the heart of the LIE-beral problem. I guess he must be able to add and subtract well and is worried about his health care and his old age pension-WITH GOOD REASON!)

(And the KICKER regarding all these warnings and comments about debt? Brought to you courtesy of LIE-beral strategists Jim Warren-who worked on the Dalton McGinty campaign! Yes, Warren helped LIE-eral fools seeking power and apparently has now seen the light! Too bad Ontari-owe debt has DOUBLED since McGinty came to power with Warrens help!)

Oh, yeah. Here's the "union brother" lecturing us on free market economics.
I'm sure that you are entitled.
Oddly enough the only thing that keeps those of us in building trades working is a strong economy and that means a political environment where major employers are comfortable making multi billion investment decisions. Infrastructure projects are just recycled tax dollars and usually an excessive number of them.
