"At that same news conference, Smith was asked specifically about the inclusion of Atlas Shrugged, a personal favourite of hers. Smith suggested that book should instead be mandatory reading in high school."

Pathetic. Sad really.

 

[kcantor]

I wouldn't be unhappy to see Atlas Shrugged as part of a core curriculum reading list that also includes The Grapes of Wrath, Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Dispossessed, The Grapes of Wrath and The Shock Doctrine. Maybe with Harari's Sapiens, A Brief History of Humankind for good measure.

And don't forget when she was Chair of the Calgary Board of Trustees that was dismissed by the Government of Alberta in 1999. It was dismissed after being deemed dysfunctional by the province.

But in that case if was the fault of the Alberta Government and the other trustees on the board.

This would be a lot funnier if the UCP weren't meddling with our kids, but Danielle's unique combination of malice and incompetence is still kind of funny.

Hey, Dani, leave those books alone.

 

[Gronk!]

This would be a lot funnier if the UCP weren't meddling with our kids, but Danielle's unique combination of malice and incompetence is still kind of funny.

Danielle hates transgender kids, therefore her unique combination of malice and incompetence is NOT that funny.

Years ago she claimed to be a libertarian, now she is micromanaging and meddling in everything. Its hard to know how much of her bs she really believes and how much is pandering to the base she hopes will keep her in power

For the rest of us, the difference between those two is what exactly?

I feel that when she comes to the conclusion this may not be the best strategy to stay in power, she will shift somewhat like with the book ban clime down.

 

[trevorhayden]

Most of her government's finite time to date has been to propose a terrible idea, be forced to cancel it. Nothing else has been actually improved.

Rumour has it she could call an early election. What are the odds

 

[The_Cat]

There won’t be any election called until the labour situations are resolved.
