I have no issues with it, but there's a very vocal contingent of the public that think we're paying too much as it is. Teachers have been trying for 20 years to reduce class sizes, and no government has given them the money or tools to accomplish this. It would have to be rounded to a nickel anyways. We don't have pennies. I haven't been to a Tim's in well over a year. I agree that we should be protecting both kids and teachers. There are others that would lose it, if we had to raise taxes. That's all I'm saying. Taxes are going up, way up to pay for all this government support people are getting because of covid. I'm not complaining, but just pointing out that these billions of dollars in support wasn't just sitting there waiting for a crisis to come along to be used up. We're borrowing from our future selves. Edited May 28, 2020 by Fan since 82 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 11 minutes ago, BPA said: All of the cases are linked to a medical professional in his 50s from the Campbellton Regional Hospital who contracted the coronavirus outside the province. This person, who travelled to Quebec for personal reasons, "was not forthcoming about their reasons for travel upon returning to New Brunswick and they did not self-isolate as a result," Premier Blaine Higgs said on Wednesday. After his trip, the man saw patients for two weeks at the Campbellton hospital and possibly other locations, forcing Higgs to order that region back into the orange phase of recovery. ****** Yikes!!! What an idiot doctor. Probably thought Covid-19 was a hoax and didn't take necessary precautions. Guess what...he's the vector that spread the virus to NB. I wonder what the over/under is on how soon he'll appear as an "expert" on Faux News.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I last got the strap in grade 9, in 1960, for talking in class. Three on each hand, coming from behind me with two teachers, one to observe. The observing teacher just passed away. The fellow who gave me the strap, I ended up playing rugby against him, then teaching with him, and helping him build a house. We became good friends. When I started teaching in 1970, they decided to ban the strap from schools. It was still in Private schools, for when I taught at Brentwood, in 1977-78, they still were caning kids. When I was in grade 5 (1977) our teacher used to call 'misbehaving' students to the front of the class, have them bend over and touch their toes, and give them a couple smacks on the a$$. Happened to me a couple of times... other than that he was a great teacher. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarM Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 1 hour ago, Me_ said: Because the asymptomatic 20 year old who never goes to see his parents or grand parents or any family for that matter, goes to see his friend who does see his parents but not really his grand parents but his parents definitely do see their parents (his grand parents). So in effect, the unawareness, nonchalance or lack of care by that young 20 year old, may be killing his friend’s grandparents. Maybe ask that friend if he agrees to sign up their parents and grand parents to get exposed to possible sÉtions sickness and even death. The responsibility still lies with the person with the grandparents. Don't go outside your own bubble and then go see your grandparents. I social distance with others so I won't go any where near my elderly relative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But while we’re figuring all things out, it’s pretty selfish to say meh I’m tired of all this and I choose to not care. This just started.

Freedom apparently includes imposing your will, territorial pissing. "This is my grocery store and I will shop in it how I please!" Freedom is about imposing your will on others and not respecting anyone's rights. Have the Americans not taught you anything? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one in my family has received a penny of assistance during covid. We are lucky to have all kept working. We are happy to support our neighbours who are less fortunate. We are CANADIAN.

I find I often have to question if reading certain people's posts are worth it at the moment as well. I've only ever pressed the ignore button once in the 10+ years I've been here, but I've found myself close as of late unfortunately. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
