iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

This kind of math can only be best described as full on BS! Only way these numbers work for TFWs is simply dividing number of TFWs by the total budgets for HC and EDUC. No way govt has cross referenced actual costs to each worker… this is all averages and nonsense!

The irony in this being introduced only 32 days before the referendum is that the government didn’t seem to be taking voters’ privacy all that seriously last spring, when a copy of the entire voters list given to the separatist Republican Party of Alberta found its way onto the Internet.
