Have a good move and adjustment to your new home! Miez reminds me of a cat clock in the video
One long-time teacher, who did not want to be identified for fear of professional retribution, said the timing of the email is particularly galling given the audit and the recent $39,000, three-day retreat to the Toronto Blue Jays stadium hotel by school board brass amid a $7.6-million board budget deficit.
“Draft bill attached,” wrote a lobbyist representing two influential fossil fuel trade groups to the lead counsel for the West Virginia state energy committee in January 2020.
Beautiful! The cat tree you made looks great, and what a lovely gift. I LOLed at the closeup of Koda sleeping in the tree (his facial expression indicates a deep slumber :)
Just a friendly reminder that you can block communities you don’t like
Savvy stretching
Yeah, retaining nursing is a big deal. In Ontario, I think we have 150,000 nurses. The government’s approach to nurses leaving the workforce post COVID because of poor working conditions has been to graduate more nurses. But a new-grad nurse is not as competent as a nurse with 10 years of experience, and so the ‘graduate more nurses’ approach does not offset the competency drain from any excessive churn of experienced nurses
Adorable! My brain sees a patch of a ginger cat style to the right of the face and just below
I know google’s amp links are BS designed to keep in you a google ecosystem and never take you to the actual content creators’ sites. Do you mind outlining for my and others’ edification what’s not to like about CBC’s links with “amp” in them? I’d love to know. Thanks!
I know, right? Especially if the doctor is that floofy and blissed out
So he won MVP in his 4th season in the MLB, runner up MVP to Judge when Judge hit 62 homers (5th season), and then MVP in his 6th season, last year. He’s presumed to win MVP again this year, but this will be the first year he nabs it without pitching. How many MVPs is he going to win in 10 years (from the time he won his first)? What’s the over/under if he stays healthy (just to get a sense)? 6.5? It’s interesting to watch going forward; I wonder if voters will ever ‘fatigue’ of voting him for MVP. Will he actually pitch (in relief) in the playoffs this year? And when would that happen, like game 1 or series on the line for the Dodgers?
I think it’s so neat you two recognize one another (despite being very different species) and have a special bond :)
I believe you mentioned in a past post that your favourite squirrel has a short tail. Is that that squirrel? Did you reconnect with your favourite squirrel after the 3-ish month absence?
Pharmacists ordering lab tests (bloodwork) is a pretty radical expansion of their practice
Most pharmacists I’m pretty sure work for private, mostly corporate companies. This is another effort to further privatize healthcare
I think I might have mistakenly sounded like a Conservative talking point. My point was supposed to be that I think many people who vote left of the Conservatives see Justin Trudeau as the lesser of two evils at best, someone who has not delivered on their promises, and someone who seems increasingly out of touch with the needs of working Canadians.
I vote NDP and am fortunate to have almost always have lived in NDP ridings. I mean to lament how disappointing it is to have the most realistic alternative to PP be so unappealing, especially against the incredible showings of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz who’ve shown how momentous progressive politics can be.
I, personally, don’t think Trudeau has a chance against PP but that any decent replacement candidate for the LPC would probably have a slight advantage against PP to begin.
More than anything, my concern is the detrimental effects of a Conservative government. And JT staying on the ticket seems like most influential factor at this point
Technically, it’s probably the government providing too little funding to school boards to cover hiring enough qualified teachers. But you’re right; this is clearly a structural problem:
More frustrating, she says, was learning that schools in the anglophone system are still short by 32 teachers — and three districts of the four are relying on 132 people on local permit contracts.
The Cons want to accelerate inequity among Canadians in health, wealth, and everything else. That’s a huge problem. I think it’s safe to say Canadians are sick of Justin Trudeau and his out of touch with everyday Canadians approach. His ego is going to keep him on the election ballot and the only question about the government that forms will be Conservative minority or majority. I feel like we’re all hostage to Justin Trudeau’s ego right now. Looking south of the border, Biden and camp waited until the decision was made for them. I don’t see the same forces converging in JT’s case. I think things are going to have to get very very loud for JT to wake up to do the right thing. I don’t know how helpful the mainstream media will be in acknowledging popular interest in left-of-centre politics yet staunch opposition to JT at this point
I ‘converted’ 1 person, and then she converted 3 generations of her family. I had mentioned something along the lines of “why love one yet eat the other” (e.g., dog and cow/pig/chicken, respectively) a little while before. She approached me and said she was thinking about what I’d said and was re-evaluating how she’s always seen things. I listened non-judgementally. I answered her questions. A little while later, she told me she’d been vegan for X weeks. She loved how the new diet felt on her GI system (never bloated)
Do you know what squirrels’ visual field is like? I anthropomorphize the squirrel as a human noticing someone watching them eat and pausing eating to look at the observer with peripheral vision and without moving their head. In other words, is the squirrel seeing the camera and possibly pausing eating? Or is it focused on the task at
handclaw?paw?, munching peanuts and making a mess on that lovely shirt?
