They wanted $500 million, so the Conservative Finance Minister & MP IV Whitby-Oshawa met them more than half way. Let us hope that the funds get right II the students & are not given to corrupt band officials who will just piss it away on themselves & then complain years later vthat even more cash needs II be allotted to the kids. First Nations should be greatful IV what they got as many departments had their budgets cut!

Dear Thomas:
School closings aren't just going on in Alberta Tom. Take a look at the "City Of Brotherly Love", Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There are 50,000 plus more empty seats due to kids leaving the Philadelphia School District in the last X years. Many parents are abandoning public education in favour of charter schools b/c they feel that is where the future of education lies.
As many as IX schools are on the chopping block. Philly like Edmonton has to realize that consolidation & the selling off of infrastructure thats aging is a necessary evil. Sure more students will have to be bussed longer distances, but consolidating & sharing schools with the Catholic, charter, private, & other school types is the only way we'll wind up avoiding huge deficits like the one Philly has now, over $400 million USD.
Give The Philly Trustees Guidance In Their Decision Making Process,

As you are no longer an MLA until you are reelected, it shows students interested in politics & social studies that fact. The Election Writ as you know was dropped by Premier Alison Redford yesterday when she went to see Lt. Governor Lt. Col. (Ret'd) Donald Ethell at his Legislature Office yesterday. But then you knew that since you were part of the PC photo op by Premier Redford's bus.
Students need to know that IV the period the writ drops until you are sworn in as an MLA again a few days after it ends, you no longer have the right to that title. If you are defeated in Edm.-Castledowns, then of course whatever candidate beats you becomes the MLA-Elect, & then the MLA upon their swearing in into the new Legislature.

So an Ontario Public School District is ending the distribution of free Gideon Bibles II Grade V students. Has the world gone absolutely nuts, the Bibles provided by the Gideons were costing the school zilch, thats zero bucks & they turn them down. The Bluewater School District Board seems II have a retardation factlor setting in. The Bibles were distributed & any student who did not wish to receive a Bible could simply turn kit back in, no pressure & no questions asked. This means Qu'rans, Hebrew texts, & books from other religions shouldn't be allowed II be handed out in any public school, just to be fair. I saw Qu'rans being handed out with English translation at a public school about four months ago to promote tolerance of Islam, students werre free II refuse. Alas many were excited about learning tolerance IV an alternate religion.

As a result of this, Quebec students pay the lowest tuition fees while the tuition fees are continuing to go up exorbinantly in other provinces.

I find it funny that Grant MacEwan University (nee College) is talking about the idea of "think local, live local" with its one sustainable campus policy. This policy degradates against students who live in the west end who might want II study arts & cannot afford the travel & expense of going downtown or perhaps taking classes out of the MacEwan South Campus (nee Millwoods Campus).
Yes many schools are consolidating & moving things II one site. But as a proud June MCMXCVII (1997) Management Studies Diploma Management Concentration graduate of MacEwan, I cannot see the logic here. Instead of making education more accessible, MacEwan's President & Board are making it more remote & more difficult II access IV students who might prefer II attend a satellite campus & be intimidated at perhaps attending the Main Downtown MacEwan Campus.

Dear Thomas:
As we "spring ahead" by setting our clocks forward this weekend, Canadian students should "jump backward" chronologically & look back with pride that it was a Canadian, Sir Sandford Fleming who inventented the system of standard time. Before this occurrence of a XXIV (24) hour a day world, a person could travel by train between three villages which were just miles apart & never know the correct time. By putting the world into seperate time zones, Fleming made transportation times better,& helped improve the world's economy because goods & services could now be delivered upon affixed schedules. As a result, the sender could tell the receiver when s/he sent the goods & the receiver could then determine when the goods would arrive & thus be available IV usage &/or resale. This then allowed both sides II figure out in advance what their overall costs per transaction would be!

Dear Thomas:
As we "spring ahead" by setting our clocks forward this weekend, Canadian students should "jump backward" chronologically & look back with pride that it was a Canadian, Sir Sandford Fleming who inventented the system of standard time. Before this occurrence of a XXIV (24) hour a day world, a person could travel by train between three villages which were just miles apart & never know the correct time. By putting the world into seperate time zones, Fleming made transportation times better,& helped improve the world's economy because goods & services could now be delivered upon affixed schedules. As a result, the sender could tell the receiver when s/he sent the goods & the receiver could then determine when the goods would arrive & thus be available IV usage &/or resale. This then allowed both sides II figure out in advance what their overall costs per transaction would be!
The Prime Meridian Conference,

Bully on the University Of Alberta IV piping in one time presidential candidate & a powerful gent IV consumer advocacy II a Skype chat when snow prevented him from flying here in person. Also, rock on to The Edmonton Senior & its powerful reportage of such event. With Beat Reporter Dr. Robert John Hayes backed up by Editor Colin Smith, we have a true broadcast quality tag team of professionals covering the said event. The Edmonton Senior & its affiliated publications are advocating IV our most precious learning group: senior citizens.
By giving page one prominence II the threats in our healthcare system with this Beyond Acute Care conference, the U Of A by bringing in the heavy hitter Nader is exposing the frauds & con jobs being pulled off by corporate tycoons in our healthcare system. We need II protect our Canadian model b/c its actually less per patient than in America. Plus, everyone is protected, no matter their age, race, religion, or socioeconomic status. Unlike the US of A where millions of citizens are uninsured. Students of all ages (especially medical ones) can learn a thing or two from Ralph Nader, whether practicing pediatrics & helping children, or geriatrics & helping seniors, we all have the right II have both health care dignity & respect!

From The U Of A Food Bank With Love

Hon. Thomas Lukaszuk, MLA, Minister of Education, Progressive Conservative, Edmonton-Castledowns
Dear Thomas:
It seems that the University Of Alberta Campus Food Bank is starting off on a food drive. I think this is a good initiative as it will ensure proper nutritional/caloric content intakes IV those of a lesser means who are students at the University &/or other affiliated educational institutions surrounding the U Of A Campus. Plus, if these adult students have kids & are short on cash, some of the groceries can then be fed II these children so that their student parents (obviously earning less income while learning) will have less of a struggle making their monthly financial/familial obligations as they pursue their endeavours on an educational basis.
Good On You U Of A Food Bank,

Sad news II report from the political field. Congressional Representative Donald Payne, Democrat, New Jersey has died of complications from colon cancer at age LXXVII (77.) Having just faced off against it at XXXVII (37) myself & having beaten it, I can certainly sympathize. The Congressman was the first ever African-American elected in MCMLXXXVIII (1988) to the Congress. He sounds like he represented students well as he fought hard IV equal funding formulas IV public education & making post secondary & trade school educational paths more affordable to all. Not just IV African descended students, but IV students of all races, creeds, colors, & socioeconomic backgrounds. He sounds like a politician & person I'd be proud II know!

Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot

Hon. Thomas Lukaszuk, MLA, Minister of Education, Progressive Conservative, Edmonton-Castledowns
Dear Thomas:
So American conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh says he want II see the sex videos of Miss Susan Fluke, II make sure the free contraception that taxpayers are being asked II pay IV her contraceptive needs are getting their monies worth. What a horndog & a moron. I mean why would a conservative Republican want II watch a liberal Democrat have sex? Also, yes religious facilities and groups have the right II state they are against contraception. But what is wrong with Miss Fluke wanting II have increased levels of safety by using sexually protectives aides? Sounds like Miss Fluke, a student is being the only responsible person in this whole matter. Also, it sounds like Rush Limbaugh is just a fat, Oxycontin riddled, thrice divorced wife cheater. Lets put the sexual health of students first Thomas & think of Rush Limbaugh as a loser. Miss Fluke certainly didn't deserve II be called a "slut" on the air by this degenerate pig!
Respectfully,

So a XLI (41) year old teacher resigns his position at the Enochs School in Modesto, California so he can move in with an XVIII year old former student of his, get involved sexually with her, & thus abandon his wife & family. What does impression leave on ther young lady, that all men, even peers want II treat her as a sexual object rather than a young female student wityh her own intelligencia? How does this action by the older male allow the girl II develop & have normal friendships/sexual relations with people in her own age group?

Dear Thomas:
The feature film: "The Ides Of March" featuring Academy Award (TM) Winner George Clooney & Ryan Gosling is quite excellent. While Clooney's political character is quite sleazy, its realistic, honest, as well as intense. the film shows just how hard a game politics is & that as a chosen profession IV students (or anyone), it can be quite tough as many politicos are just out II get one another rather than perform a public service with due diligence. It does however showcase that there are many politicians who are truly in there II make a difference IV humanity. Eg: Yourself, & your predecessor as Min. of Education, the Hon. David G. Hancock, QC, MLA, Progressive Conservative, Edmonton-Whitemud.
