Hon. Dave Eggen, B. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, New Democratic, Edmonton-Calder

Dear Dave:

Here at the Westmount McD's which is actually open Christmas Day, we have friends teaching one another German. This is great as a Christmas gift & lesson. As learning anew should be a 24/7 process, every day of the year.

It was great to see you and Edmonton Public School Trustee for Ward F Mike Janz swimming at the Coronation Swimming Pool. Good to know that public officials are into staying physically healthy!

Frohliche Weihnachten,

"For Rocket Robyn Luff!"

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin. #6, 14504-108 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5N 1G8

November IXth, MMXVIII

Hon. Dave Eggen, B. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, New Democratic, Edmonton-Calder

Dear Dave:

Come gather around me & surround me, I may well confound you, astound you, spellbound you that with the insight that political heroes & villians, the bad & the good are in constant flux (as evidenced with the US Midterm elections.) I can fully understand why you, & Hon. Premier Rachel Notley, B. A., LL. B., MLA, New Democratic, Edmonton-Strathcona  & the rest of the NDP MLAs expelled Robyn Luff, B. Sci., B. Ed., MLA, Independent, Calgary-East from Her Majesty's New Democratic Governmental caucus.

I. You figured that you'd cut your losses anyway as she isn't known for actually doing that much in 3.5 years since you were silencing &controlling her except protesting other pipelines this just gives her a way to look good (although I believe this was before she was elected.) And you, the lady Premier & the NDP are only fighting for Transmountain to give yourself a IInd majorative government whilst helping the Federal Liberals blockade all other pipeline development. With supposedly dirty oil which is actually cleaner than Saudi oil & contains no traces of Mr. Khashoggi's body parts. Plus you know she isn't running again so is no real threat to you.

II. If I was Miss Luff, I would not only stay on as the Indy MLA, I would if I was her vote against some NDP measures in session. In this way, she is on the record. Plus she would have been defeated in Calgary-East for reelection anyway, now by firing her instead of letting her resign from the NDP caucus, Robyn can mount a credible Indy campaign were she to run in MMXIX after all & cause whomever replaces her as the NDP chosen candidate to lose in a vote split. 

III. I would also if I was Miss Luff run a joint speaking tour on NDP dictatorial control with Karen McPherson, MLA, Alberta Party, Calgary-Mackay-Nosehill. This would certainly cause problems for your government & could be done on weekends & during constituency weeks so as not to take any time away from the fall session of Her Majesty's Alberta Legislative Assembly. Since neither is part of the government now they can cut loose with internal caucus secrets & friction levels. So at the site of Robyn take a stand, the gallant leader of our band, exposing this corruption/extreme control in the highest corners of the Premier's office here in Alberta land! "For Rocket Robyn Luff!"

Dear Dave:

People should feel free to "es/express" themselves wherever they are educationally. For instance, hear at this IInd Cup we have me on my blog whilst another customer (a University Of Alberta teacher) is marking Native Studies papers & exams. At the front of the coffee shop there is a chess club but just 8 people learning chess strategies on a computer & with paper. It is to help them gain a stronger sense of strategic thinking.

Dear Dave:

When in library branches or other learning centres, it is important to be respectful of the library personnel at the Customer Service Desk. They are happy to serve you & other library patrons, but be in turn good to them & others. Wait your turn in line, don't harass them as they are already under stress to assist other library patrons find study materials & also make sure that the location runs smoothly during their shift. Eg.: If there are disputes for instance that they are solved amicably.

Healthier Food Court Choices

Hon. Dave Eggen, B. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, New Democratic, Edmonton-Calder

Dear Dave:

Here in Londonderry Mall Food Court, just as in any food court of a mall, many students congregate throughout their lunch hours or for a snack & say a coffee or other such assorted lovely beverages. The focus here is to get these up & coming students to try healthier food choices so they gain better cognitive & physical abilities for their various study areas. I am having chicken & salad from "Jimmy The Greek" instead of say a greasy hamburger & french fries in this very fine food court managed by the rather adroit Cushman & Wakefield property management company.

There Are Many Great Food Choices Here,

What In The Autistic Spectrum Hell Is Going On Here?

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., Sherwood Park Tim Hortons Courtesy Wifi, 993 Fir Street, Sherwood Park, Alberta T8A 4N5

September XVIIth, MMXVIII

Hon. Dave Eggen, B. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, New Democratic, Edmonton-Calder

Dear Dave:

As I have "high-functioning" autism or Asperger's Syndrome, I can live independently & speak up for kids of all ages who are "low-functioning" or non verbal autistics. I am wondering what in the fuck happened to that autistic boy in September XXV here in Sherwood Park at Clover Bar School? Little Aidan Henschel didn't deserve being locked away in a calming cage that looks like pictures from the Warsaw Ghetto (only worse) & covered in his own feces. Then we had the autistic/epileptic VI (6) yr. girl Emma O'Keeffe who was kidnapped inadvertently when her mom's vehicle was stolen in North Battleford, Saskatchewan (glad she & Aidan are both safe.)

It kind of reminds me of the autistic child that was beaten up at the Mississauga, Ontario LRT station a few months ago. I don't understand why these kids are being picked on & so I speak up for the children as I do volunteer work with low-functioning autistic kids sometimes & to see them mistreated I get very upset. Yes the schools have limited resources but the child should have had access to a bathroom as well as food & H2O. I know Dave you cannot speak to this matter as it is now before the court system. Gosh I hope the parents take Alberta Education, Elk Island Public Schools, & Clover Bar School for a bundle of cash, then use the money to help their son & other autistic children! & don't try & blame the previous Tory admins Dave, this happened on your watch & that of Her Majesty's New Democratic Government!

This Is Very Wrong,

Rory

Hon. Dave Eggen, B. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, New Democratic, Edmonton-Calder

Dear Dave:

It is great to see incumbent Premier & Liberal Leader Brian Gallant taking students & job programs/educational needs so seriously to keep young people in the province in the run up to the September XXIVth, MMXVIII (24th, 2018) New Brunswick provincial election. I cannot wait to see the response campaign platforms from Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Official Opposition Progressive Conservative Leader Blaine Higgs & New Democratic Leader Jennifer McKenzie & Green Leader David Coon & People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin. With relatives who are francophone here in Alberta, I find the New Brunswick writ very interesting since it is the only province that is bilingual by provincial statute & a proud Maritime province & reliable partner & a true asset in The Dominion Of Canada since its founding on July Ist, MDCCCLXVII (1st, 1867) as one of IV (4) founding provinces!

Dear Dave:

Meterorological students have the Farmer's Almanac stating that Western Canada & the Prairie region will have an extremely cold winter. While other sources say it will be "El Nino" or warmer conditions. Some days either side will be wrong as evidenced by the smoke from the BC fires from out west. Anything can influence the weather, the key is to be properly attired & adjust for the conditions daily as they present themselves.

Yesterday when I was dropping off some towels that I borrowed from the Jamie Platz YMCA as I forgot my own at home, I noticed the excellent skills of the young people & team leaders (who will be the adult leaders of tomorrow) in adjusting for the smoke filled atmosphere.

Neighbourhood Ken Block Party

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., #6, 14504-108 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5N 1G8

August IVth, MMXVIII

Hon. Dave Eggen, B. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, New Democratic, Edmonton-Calder

Dear Dave:

As readers of Executive Dissertations know, I & my neighbours with families (including students) escaped with their very lives when someone who was carelessly smoking caused a partial burn down of our building in March 2017. Seven of my eleven neighbours left permanently & three suites were a complete write off & were rebuilt. So on paper I was homeless for three nights along with my Feline Son, a Mr. James Redwing Cat Koopmans.

Luckily for us, ol' J.R. & I could move back after three days & I actually had zero damages. But I had to live in a smoke smelling building for months & had to wear a gas mask & goggles each time I went in & out of the building to protect my already weak immune system. Having been put in that situation first hand, I fully agree with Edmonton Fire Rescue Services (EFRS) Chief Ken Block & his frustration at errant cigarettes destroying places like the apartments in Blue Quill & no one being held criminally responsible.

Right now my deadbeat neighbours in Suite #5 drink, smoke, do drugs, & trade up in their stolen bicycle parts every night on the grass & in their apartment, banging doors, just total scumbag losers & shove/threaten people around who have tenancy in the building (many of the residents in #5 don't have keys, they just get let in every day or night to crash there.) Thus causing the noisy Edmonton Police Sevice (EPS) helicopter to fly over & destroy my sleep nightly. Its frustrating because the building is 100% no smoking & they just don't care & are putting the lives of other tenants in the building in direct jeopardy. I don't want to lose my abode & nor does my cat because of their idiocy.

Ken Block Is A Solid Performer & The Courts Should Charge These Smokers With A Crime As They Displace Everyone Else & That Quite Frankly is Criminal,

80,000 Reasons To Smile Converted To $34,800.00 In Graft (Cold Hard Cash!)

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., Tim Hortons Westpark Boulevard Courtesy Wifi, 30 Westpark Boulevard, Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta T8L 4N2

July XXVIIIth, MMXVIII

Hon. Dave Eggen., B. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, New Democratic, Edmonton-Calder

Dear Dave:

Here in Fort Saskatchewan, residents in this coffee shop are in complete agreement with your caucus colleague Jessica Nadine Littlewood, MLA, New Democratic, Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville getting the full $34,800.00 reimbursement for her 80,000 kilometres of driving. My mission, & I chose to accept it was to talk to area residents by coming into Mrs. Littlewood's riding personally to gauge opinions from the people who reside here, her constituents, whether they be NDP or not.

Riding residents point out that Jess has gone into business with Farmer Former Premier & Area MLA Ed Stelmach, Progressive Conservative (Retired.) What with Greyhound vacating the area, Jessica is picking up sides of beef & low cost lovely assorted meats from Ed's farm down at Andrew, Alberta where Ed butchers them personally. Then sells them at a contract rate price to lower income residents in his old riding with the Province of Alberta picking up Jessica's gasoline tab for driving around personally to farms & residences of riding residents who lack viable transportation. She also graciously stops at the Mundare Sausage House to get meats for all of the "sausage smokers" in her riding, ever so kind!

Ah the memories, I miss Eddie's on site barbecues with Ukrainian perogies & accoutrements down on the farm cooked by his stunning & gorgeous bride Marie (who gets even better looking with each passing year, Ed's certainly a very lucky man) while Ed fired up the meats on a BBQ or an open wood fire. I for one am mighty proud of Mrs. Littlewood & Premier Stelmach for this rare display of bipartisanship in a quest to ensure that residents who might not otherwise be able to afford meat can still have Ed's personal livestock brought to them. So an ex-MLA & a current MLA teaming up to get the citizenry of the riding proper nutrition & protein!

It's A Wonderful & Noble Mission & I Hope Mrs. Littlewood's UCP Successor Carries On The Tradition With Ed & The Sublime Stelmach Family Come Next June
When Hon. Jason Kenney, PC, MLA, United Conservative Party, Calgary-Lougheed Gets Sworn In As The XVIIIth (18th) Premier,

Freedom To Separate Conservative Party

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin., #6, 14504-108 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5N 1G8

July XXIst, MMXVIII

Hon. Dave Eggen, B. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, New Democratic, Edmonton-Calder

Dear Dave:

Politics makes strange bedfellows that is for sure. Here we have the newly minted Leader of the Freedom To Separate Conservative Party Derek Fildebrandt, MLA, Strathmore-Brooks setting up this new party to spite United Airlines Conservative Party Leader Hon. Jason Kenney, PC, MLA, Calgary-Lougheed.

1. This would not be such a bad idea except for the fact that Alberta Party Leader & Concordia University Chancellor Stephen Mandel is funneling a few million dollars over to the FCP from his real estate & trailer park rent holdings through a numbered company to prop up Derek. An odd thing for Steve to do when you consider he is a "tax & spend liberal" who wasted billions of Edmontonians valuable property tax monies just to stay in power. Even a worse decision than putting Hon. Amarjeet Sohi, PC, MP, Liberal, Edmonton-Millwoods on the Natural Resources file (as Jeet was a rather ineffectual City Councillor, just as he is a useless progressive teat in Ottawa under the tutelage of The Right Honourable The Serial Groper (Alleged.))

2. It only gets worse for Derek as Steve has been sued multiple times for running unsafe facilities, so like the Alberta Party, Steve Mandel & Derek Fildebrandt & his separatists are just "trailer park trash." Both Fildebrandt & Mandel are willing to "truck & trade" with separatists.

3. Derek's separation party wants to break up Canada & is disloyal openly to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth IInd. Why would anyone want Derek as Premier when he wants to use the platform to break up the Dominion Of Canada & Mandel cash to do it with?

4. And Mr. Mandel brags that he has 20 nominated candidates & yet he had 32 last month, why the drop of 12? It is because Alberta Party candidates heard he was giving cash to Derek.

5. Derek is using the profits from his apartment AirBnB rental & the cash he got from selling his red truck & the evidence he hit to invest in a deer meat slaughtering centre. Luckily he's planning on building it in Leela Aheer, MLA, UCP, Chestermere-Rocky View new riding after the MMXIX writ (without telling her first.)

6. Notice how Mr. Mandel puts himself on the Alberta Party cockass page as the MLA for Edmonton-McClung? Misleading as he's not even an elected Member of the Legislative Assembly.

7. So if you get Derek Fildebrandt any power base, you are by extension empowering the Alberta Party. Two ineffectual nothings that deserve one another!

Dear Dave:

I am in Northeast Edmonton today s the Edmonton & District Historical Society wraps up another Historic Edmonton Week, students need to look at how the farming communities to the northeast played a big part in Edmonton's growth & development. Also, how Edmonton helped served as a feeder community for the development, trade, & commercial ability for many farmers & businesses to go about their trade & conduct commerce (thus supporting their families.) Many tradespeople worked out of the ne (& other areas of the city) & their contributions in the past are now still influencing how we shape Edmonton & its surrounding area for the future.

Dear Dave:

For three-quarters of a century & on what would have been her 75th birthday today, Mrs. June C. Koopmans, B. Ed., Classics Illustrated Comics superfan (with my Grandpa Archie) has been our guide, our protector, & our friend! Today marks mom's last birthday appearance for Executive Dissertations. As much as I want to keep having her show off her Afton Elementary School Grade II (2) lesson plans, it is time to let her spirit rest & know that with tea & birthday cake in her memory today that she did one hell of a great job with her time on Earth. Although limited to 68 years, the point is she was here, fighting for students rights to the end!


PLANS

Wednesday, March 1st, 1972:

Gym: Walking, running, sprinting.
Reading: bbd ex on roots, vowels, "oo", "can't."
                (have students tell stories of airplane & bus trips using vowels as the main emphasis.)
           ------
Arithmetic: text P. 134.
Spelling: #23C.
Storytime: Students acting out stories with vowels in groups.

Lunch: Take an injured student from Grade 3 to school nurse before heading to teachers lounge for lunch as his teacher had a family emergency & had to leave school property.

Printing: "Ff", "Gg", "Hh","Ii","Jj."
Language Arts: Add consonants & vowels learned together so as to help students memory recall for trip stories.
           ------
Enterprise: Students suggest making cardboard & paper cutouts of themselves on their trips. Great as it gets their visual memory cognition going in full gear!

Dear Dave:

Here at this Tim Hortons where I used to work, a few of the staff cleaning up the garbage & recycling area have expressed frustration that customers are tossing garbage in the recycling & vice versa. Thus preventing the recycling from being recycled. Students who visit Timmy's with their family members that if they want to reduce their environmental impact, they should properly separate items. Franchise locations use the bottle/can/container monies to pay for wages, upkeep, as well as supplies so people doing this volunteer separation helps keep restaurant costs down, many of which are struggling due to shitty Alberta NDP minimum wage laws & other unnecessary bureaucratic constraints!
