People who suck today: Burnaby Parents' Voice
Happy Pink Shirt Day, everyone!
Can someone please tell me why a parent group would object to a video like this?

Some perspective.
Word heard most in Portugal during my one-week stay: crisis.
Word heard most in Canada at the moment: robo-calls.
Arrive at your own conclusions...

The best opposition to (a majority) government is an engaged and enraged public.

One of the principal tenets of Conservatism is the belief that "less government" interference is a good thing. Tell that to Canada's Conservatives, these guys sure as hell like to interfere and meddle in people's business.

A little bit of perspective on defending the integrity of citizenship in this country of ours.
Important to note from linked story:
"One staff members from Kenney's office who appeared in the email chain about the event requested their name be blacked out before release under the Access to Information Act."

Limited use of capital punishment could save government some money, says Conservative senator.
So much for a sober second thought...
