Two teacher friends I have (who are THRILLED to be going back to school with no plan or money to enact any kind of plan) say that they are now required to follow curriculum exactly with no variation.

Did you watch the leadership "show"? I hesitate to call it a convention because I felt terrible for their announcers. They were in no way prepared to fill the dead airspace to cover the six plus hours of delays and they themselves referred to the voting issues as a dumpster fire.

Halifax elections are over, hurray for everyone! Record turn out it seems, heard reported that more people voted in the early poll, by phone or by internet than voted in the previous election.

I just read about the curriculum and while there's a lot that seems like typical conservative fare, Georgia O'Keefe to first graders seems...sketchy. And like, in the way that you'd think conservatives would be against.
While that's funny, meanwhile in Alberta, our "LOCKDOWN" has been announced. All businesses stay open, including bars, restaurants, casinos, brothels, etc. but holy fuck if you have someone over to your house, you better believe that's illegal.
We have no ICU beds left.
I live in the dumbest fucking place in Canada.
You're legally allowed to have more people inside of a restaurant than you are at an outdoor socially distanced gathering.
Oh and indoor school will be ended....in a week or so.
Did I mention we're at ICU capacity?

Oh wow. That’s an odd choice of closures.
