Minister of Education,

Progressive Conservative, Edmonton-Whitemud

Dear David:

I realize that you cannot live w/o even one day of Executive Dissertations & that these entries are singlehandedly keeping you on top of your game in the Education portfolio. So alas I must truly apologize that the consecutive streak of entries, with at least one per day, every damn day of the year ended yesterday. Blogger & Blogspot went down IV maintenance late Wednesday night & came back online Friday. So there was no way I could get II a Thursday entry.

Anyways the Liberal MLA's IV Edmonton Goldbar & Lethbridge-East ought II be congratulated by Alberta students IV holding your feet II the fire on education cutbacks & the need II restore funding as soon as alternative cashflows can be found. Hugh Macdonald's question asking IV more funding IV a certain sector division. Then the follow up by Bridget Pastoor with her petitions & tabling of motions by Albertans who were upset by the education sector cutbacks ought to be applauded. Its nice II see that even with the tributes to the retiring Liberal Leader David Swann & Edward Michael as Premier (& Tory Leader), these hard working MLA's & you had your standard query & answer session on the Assembly's last day. This shows that they & you are working hard II find solutions IV our students. As well as that debate is healthy in the chamber.

End Game,

Rory
