Dear Dave:

Up here in Castledowns, the students at the computers are talking about their excitement for spring so they can play in their skate parks. I guess skateboard & bicycle parks with ramps are very popular according to the Branch EPL staff here. That is great because physical activity in a safe environment with properly maintained ramp areas is healthy for stimulating cognitive function in students of all ages.

All The Best In MMXVIII Dave To You & Your Family,

Dear Dave:

From all that I can gather, there seems to be quite the stalemate on how to help First Nations students with developmental issues adapt to life on city streets, which can be quite different from a reserve. Since my late mom Mrs. June C. Koopmans, B. Ed. older half-brother Ron is Metis (having the same dad, my late Grandpa Archie), I have come to this EPL Branch location for an informal discussion with various Red Earth Healing Society groups. The students here are used to being groups from what I can see, but they are apprehensive like anyone else (a normal human reaction) around students & peoples of other religions & cultures. How Dave do we fix this?!

Dear Dave:

Just like in "Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi" features a special return by Jedi Master Yoda,  a true legend of teaching & understanding, we need to focus on only the absolute very best at Christmas! So of course we bring back Yoda's equivalent as a teacher on Earth, the legend that was my mother, Mrs. June C. Koopmans, B. Ed. from upstairs & a lesson plan from her her teaching days at Afton Elementary School Grade 2. Mom adored "Star Wars" films, especially Yoda & so on her favourite day of the year we call on her once again! I mean who better?!

Dear Dave:

Folks celebrating Christmas & other holidays should remember not to open windows in winter, especially when it gets extra cold. This can cause students & their families water pipes to potentially freeze &/or perhaps burst, thus leaving them with no potable water source during the holiday season until repairs which can be expensive) can be affected.

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

Dear Dave:

So now that Interim Alberta Party Leader Greg Clark, MLA, Calgary-Elbow has decided not to run to replace himself as Interim Leader to replace himself as Alberta Party Leader, we have Kara Levis as the first candidate entering the race for Alberta Party Leader?! Just great, yet another uppity Calgary lawyer born in B.C. controlled by Stephen Carter. I just remind political science students once again of the last Calgary lawyer that Stephen Carter brought us.:

Luckily we put this person out to the manure pasture after only 29 months in office (29 months too long!)

Best Of Luck Kara,

Rory

P. S.: Sources indicate a movement in the Alberta NDP Caucus by MLA David Shepherd of Edmonton-Centre to seize control of the leadership from Premier Notley along with #BlackLivesMatter. This is the same man who is so lousy & lazy an MLA that his constituents have been bugging former Liberal MLA Laurie Blakeman for assistance.

Christmas "Carol"s Burnett

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

Dear Dave:

It certainly is great to encourage folks to sing Christmas Carols, especially students during this holiday season so that they can carry the tradition onto future generations & their own families. Plus having folks from other religions join in is okay, & say having Christians learn songs from other religions & cultures will only serve II expand their musical horizons.

Dear Dave:

So Derek Fildebrandt, MLA, Independent, Strathmore-Brooks illegally shot a deer on private land without any authorization to be there & to top it off had no hunting license. Then he claims to have been unaware that he was on private land & apologizes profusely. Then he claims that he "donated" the deer meat to a local food bank. Pardon me Derek but isn't the dead deer technically the property of Her Majesty's Department of Alberta Fish & Wildlife? Luckily Derek was able to explain his need for the hunting rifle to eco-friendly students in the same area. He explained that he had the gun to prevent any more women from filing false (true) sexual harassment wrongful dismissal lawsuits against the Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Official Opposition Jason Nixon, MLA, United Airlines Conservative Party (UACP), Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre (such as the one in British Columbia that caused Nixon a 32 grand payout.) Anything to get back into caucus, am I right Derek?

December IXth, MMXVII

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

Dear Dave:

There is a movement by ex Edmonton Mayor & "he's dead Jim" Prentice cabinet minister Steve Mandel to put former Grit MLA & Edmonton City Councillor Karen Leibovici in as head of the Alberta Party. Wow, as Executive Dissertations has stated before here, Karen is a fantastic person & a wonderful ex Mayoral candidate herself. Her becoming the next Alberta Party Leader will allow the party to go "Future To The Back." Thus providing a centrist option for a rejected candidate for the City of Edmonton's Chief Executive slot. Still, its seems better than putting in Interim Alberta Party Leader Greg Clark, MLA, Calgary-Elbow who if he runs will of course be running to replace himself as Interim Leader to replace himself as Alberta Party Leader. Why all the concentration in the Alberta Party focused in Calgary-Elbow? That riding for a future Premier was destroyed by the XIVth (14th) occupant of Room #CCCVII (#307) Legislature Bvilding, The Office of the Premier. Still you have to give Steve credit for trying!

Dave "Wrath Of" Khan

December IInd, MMXVII

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

Dear Dave:

I am hard on the Alberta Liberal Party at times, but even I must confess that it was great political genius & acumen & skill to choose to run their new Leader Dave Khan in the Calgary-Lougheed byelection. I strongly applaud this manoeuvre from a military tactics point of view. Even if (when) Candidate Khan loses to Candidate Jason Kenney, at least the Alberta Liberals are trying to have a truly "provincial" presence & media exposure in running a candidate. While the Alberta Party that no one cares about claims that 400 people in attendance at their Red Deer convention where they decided not to run a candidate (yet are promoted as strong by Calgary Herald Columnist Don Braid in his column, what a laugh.) The Alberta Party says its for all Albertans, its really just for elitists who cannot stomach that Candidate Kenney won the Leadership of the United Airlines Conservative Party (UACP) fairly & squarely. Plus they are negotiating with the Alberta New Democratics to not run candidates against one another in the MMXIX provincial writ under the new borders (except in new urban/rural ridings where both parties will run candidates to see which is strongest. Then whatever party gets the most votes, the other party won't run against it in MMXXIII writ.) To top it off they have that arrogant prick Stephen Carter who gave us Alison Redfjord as Premier & we all know how well that turned out don't we!

To sum up: Alberta Liberal Party strategists: excellent & quite frankly shows true "grit." 

                   Alberta Party strategists: the Alberta Party has strategists?!

Simply Subpar,

Rory
