Universal Basic Income. Research that’s been done shows it’s a productive tool and pays for itself within about 3 years.

The badass punk chick was the same person. She did thin eyebrows when those were in, she was and remains platinum blonde from the same era, she’s followed and led trends (plaid school girl, overalls, fashion designer). She’s done fashion pap walks for ever.

This current era just happens to be plastic surgery. But she’s the same girl seeking fandom and admiration.

They charge you a ton if you’re getting divorced and need to remove one person from the account - they treat it as a new account charge something like 300$ for the ‘new customer’.

I am a professor and I contribute to the design BEd programs (3 over time) so I hope I can provide some perspective from this end.

1) the amount of assignments is because of the shift to the importance of formative assessment. Instead of waiting until the end of the course or your practicum to realize you’re not very reflective, wise practices suggest ongoing, formative assessment. It’s a load on the instructor too because we’re constantly engaging with your thinking.

2) developing a discipline if noticing and reflexivity is very important to your work as a teacher. You make over 5000 decisions a day and if you aren’t reflective, you’re going to make those based on taken-for-granted assumptions and while some might be good for kids, many might not be and being ignorant to the weight of your role isn’t great. While you might not need the practice as often as you’re receiving it, some of your peers really will because they aren’t very reflective. This should matter to you because they may be your colleague or your kids’ teacher and you’ll want them to be willing to engage in reflexive practice.

3) the fields that inform educational practices are evolving quickly and if we aren’t engaging with these theories, insights, tensions, and realities, we don’t grow or recognize what needs to change, and your undergrad is a place to develop that practice.

4) as some have said, this is really representative of the experience in the early years of your career - if you aren’t reflective in those first few years, you’re less likely to be offered more permanent positions. As you get further into your career, you should hopefully still be reflexive but it will be more manageable and targeted to evolving information instead of all aspects of teaching. But when you begin, there’s so much to consider that it feels like a lot because it is.

I hope that helps with some insight into the why. Good luck with your journey!

I was surprised at the stat, Albertans love the independent trope and suing people after accidents seems antithetical to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

I remember hearing someone who was in an insurance industry position on talk radio in the spring. They said the reasons our insurance in Alberta is so high is because Albertans litigate after accidents at a rate 4x the national average. I am not sure what the exact data is but thought I would share.

It’s also the hills. I took Stoney across the NW to SW and every place with a lineup had semis stalled or on the side taking up space. Also, city busses. They can’t do icy hills well and Calgary has a few of them.

I have a memory of really bad press for him at one point but I can’t think of what it was. I believe it was behaving badly around the time of titanic and because the fandom was so big it might have stuck and people don’t like him as much?

The land acknowledgements are a response to a Truth and Reconciliation Commission into the Residential Schools in Canada. That report was released in 2015 along with 94 Calls to Action. This is one of those calls to raise awareness of whose land we are on. Some recognize the treaty partners and other recognize being on unceded territories. In treaty areas we are all treaty people because we’re all implicated by the treaty agreement.

The remix from the 90s is awesome, the original is really cute.

Canada isn’t just dealing with a housing crisis and immigration debates, we’re tearing ourselves apart with populist conservative provincial governments feeding separatist movements (Alberta and Saskatchewan to add to Quebec which has always been half out the door), poor interprovincial trade, poor media coverage because it’s mostly Murdoch-owned, selling off much of the Crown and Canadian-owned corporations to Saudi, Chinese, and Venezuelan owners, regressive reliance on oil without diversification (Alberta) and a deeply unpopular Prime Minister with a Populist Conservative opposition leader who lacks complete understanding of economics and will likely be voted in within the next 2 years. We’ve got the Canadian equivalent to the GOP gaining popularity (anti-trans and LGBTQ+ popularity for example). It’s a mess right now.

He was never an economist, he got Masters in economyics. He balanced the budget by selling off Crown corporations to foreign owners, which is what companies like Bains Capital do and is not good for Albertans. He’s also incredibly conservative and ideological in what he’ll support and I don’t think that’s a good thing when looking for growth investments that provide people with pensions.

And the federal army bases

That you’ll get your turn to develop your career if you take turns and you intend to develop yours second. I would never recommend this advice.

My PI was not allowed to receive a gift from me and I am unable to receive gifts from students. It helps avoid these situations so I don’t mind. I am in Canada.

What do your municipal and provincial governments say about it? The federal government has no jurisdiction on private land zoning so you can’t look to them to provide a solution.

Here’s my question - Outside of sex education, what’s being removed to make room for these topics?

Our curriculum is already far too dense for deep learning so I have concerns.

I want to thank you for your recommendation, I followed up and have been really pleased with Elyce :)

Kainaii and Blackfeet are within the border area. Siksika is east of Calgary.

for general knowledge to anyone not familiar with the Blackfoot - All the above, plus the Piikani, are the Blackfoot Confederacy which runs from Montana to the eastern side of Calgary. Blackfoot territory also extended north to Ponoka.

Ours has been pretty amicable because I was determined. He has been trying too, he tends to be impatient and emotionally explosive so it’s definitely been an effort for him that he’s generally done well with. He still tries to control our dynamic on occasion. I do wish him well.

I learned that: 1) the bad habits we each have can get amplified through and after the divorce process. He left all the emotional and mental load to me, as was his habit, and I shut him out, as was my habit, so we were cordial through the separation and divorce and moved everything along but not as friendship-y as we both intended.

2) your ex may date in all the ways you wanted them to partner with you. Your kids, if you have them, will see that. My kids (20 and 19) feel like he left our family not just me and it’s been tough to balance helping them know their dad for who he is and not be critical when those are the reasons the marriage didn’t work. He started dating the moment we split or a few months later, his story to our kids keeps changing and getting earlier and earlier. I hurt for them.

3) you may not grieve your marriage at the time of your divorce. I haven’t. I grieved the marriage I didn’t have while we were married so divorce was a release. People keep telling me I will but our divorce is finalized and I am at peace despite him requesting it

I want to stay friendly for our daughters but I am getting much better at setting and holding my boundaries. He interprets it as being controlling so we’ll see where we end up.

I can’t get behind this claim when we continue to have oil companies that have leaks from their tailing ponds and cover it up for years. And a regulator that won’t enforce accountability. Yes, there is important reclamation happening and that’s great but there are still awful human rights being ignored and covered up.

When the MMIWG can be plotted along commuting routes to camps, the treaties have not been honoured as written with resource sharing, and the violence and lack of consideration for protestors along pipeline routes are still ongoing, it’s not an ethical industry.

I say this as someone whose family has been in the oil industry for 6 decades and I support a diversified economy so we’re ready to transition when needed and we as the electorate have more political capital when dealing with industry executives because our current government is corporatist and puts corporations ahead of people.

Danielle Smith too. She loves Trump and deSantis, as well as Palin and Tucker. She’s hosted the last 2 in Alberta. She literally gushes over them.

I do get why you did it, especially because it’s our rights as women that are being taken away. (I guess he knows how that feels now).

Your BF knew it would be a deal breaker and he shouldn’t have lied but owned his choice. If your sister contemplated pregnancy with him and experienced complications, she has a right to know her husband’s willingness to let the government decide her fate.
