For what it's worth, if I had to guess which party Konrad Narth was part of, based on name alone, I'd have guessed PC.

Hahahahaha If you’re the PCs, what do you do? You have no identity because you can’t stop pandering to the right and risk losing a base, and you can’t fight for the middle because the NDP is on your side of the middle for so many things anyways. Either way, Obby as an Independent is hilarious.

I guess the idea is "why sully the good name of a new leader when they can just let Obby take the hit?" Guess that's what $500K buys ya.

Great to see. Interesting to note these... Scheif can pass 3 team records this year. Goals 372 to Ducky's 379, assists 535 to Steen's 553 and points 907 to Ducky's 929.

Look, kicking someone out like this is dirty pool, no doubt about it. That being said, I take issue with her comment of "In my heart of hearts, I'm doing this [job] for the right reasons — to make life better for my fellow teachers." PCs? Um, Bill 64? Parental Rights? Shitty funding? Pick a lane.

You'd think this would be obvious. This is true for so much of "privatized" services. Yet, supporters hurt by this always seem to think they're on the "wealthy" side of things or that they're attainable to them. They aren't.

The major changes, in the eyes of an #mbed reporter? a) "The Talk" in sex-ed (periods, ejaculation, etc) is now in G4 instead of G5 because the onset of puberty is happening earlier. b) New requirements for *repeated* explicit K-12 lessons on boundary-setting/how to seek, give + decline consent
