Nah. Civics triggers too many kids. We teach them how to safely inject illegal drugs.

Our grandkids have been taught how to administer Narcan (Naloxodone) in School. The ones I’m speaking of, one is in high school and the other is in elementary school still, so two different schools, but both are administered under the same school board.
Getting kids to clean up for the Homeless/Addiction Industrial Complex. Jeepers.
It's an OUTRAGE! What greater depths of depravity can Canada sink to? What perversions will they force on the sweet little angels next? First aid? CPR?
Didn’t say it was bad, but it is a sign of the times.
No. Those haven’t been options to the best of my knowledge.
Neither has spoken about first aid. It wasn’t an option for me either and I got and paid for mine after I was out of school.
Swimming was playtime (Regent Pool), & First Aid was Red Cross (much more affordable than Saint John).
Almost all firefighters are taught how to deliver narcan. Even juniors take the training. Can't remember now if they get the certificate or not, because of age. They can do all the First Responder training and tests but can't get the certificate until 18.
I think the whole narcan thing is a waste of taxpayers money, but maybe training kids on it will help them to avoid opiates, when they see what happens. Mostly it is the protocols that I have a problem with. Much like a potential diabetic coma, the protocol is when in doubt, administer. This is on the grounds that if it is not required, it doesn't matter.
"There I was, doing my patriotic duty by taking my worthless addict ass out of the populace and the gene pool, when some pushy little fuck whose balls haven't dropped yet came along and shoved a Narcan thing up my nose. Self-important little prick!"
You’ve just gotta try harder. I’ve heard the record up here in Vancouver was the same dude four times in the same day, coming back from the OD, but that might be an old stat now. Practice makes perfect.
Seriously I think they don't get to kill everyone they would like to and probably more on that list then on the other that they do get to kill but don't really know and never gave it much thought. It's a game of action and consequence I am not involved in. More a follower of Rosicrucianism philosophy.
I did see the parade.
One thing though "the more you have, the more you have to look after"
It was way more fun when we used needles. Some of them have enough scrap iron hanging off theirfaces, a needle would not even show.
Government announces major pay and compensation boost for Canadian Forces personnel — Ottawa Citizen
In addition to salary increases, a new annual lump sum payment will be provided to members based on years of service, up to $6,000.
The total cost for the various elements of the new compensation and benefits package announced Friday will be $2 billion annually.
With the 20 per cent boost, the starting salary for a private in the regular force will increase from $3,614 a month or $43,368 annually to $4,337 a month or $52,044 annually. Reserve military personnel would get a 13 per cent boost. More at the link, & this is way overdue.
Military personnel above that basic rate, up to the rank of lieutenant colonel, will see a 13 per cent increase in pay, according to documents provided by the Canadian Forces. That would apply to both regular and reserve forces.
Colonels and generals, both regular and reserve forces, will receive an eight per cent pay hike.
GOOD; bout damn time.
And wow, those raises are pretty significant - or least they sound it.
I've asked my (Ret.) Captain cousin about it to get this thoughts.
