    Netanyahu is a career criminal but he's no match for Trump. Trump is like the crazy mob boss you don't want to cross because he'll drag you down to his level. Netanyahu is a crime boss too but at a lot more discreet. But once you start operating in Trump's world, you need to play by his rules. He's got receipts, I'm sure, and he'll destroy Netanyahu if he crosses him.

    I absolutely agree that there is a need to remain flexible and not need to necessarily have a plan in place for every possibility, but I think that was the problem with the province's school plan. I think they were trying so hard to have a full plan in place for every contingency and that paralized them into not having anything until a week or two before school started. Even if you discount the first 3 months as they were dealing with last year's school plan as best they could, but they had 3 months though the summer to come up with some better guidance than cohorts of 75 and face masks for everyone grade 4 and up unless you're able to keep 2m space. And I'm sure the school administrations would have appreciated having the guidance earlier than they had it so that they could have time to implement the guidance and other things that they came up with on their own (like plexiglass between seats on shared desks).

    so earlier this week my parents finally caved and brought popeyes home, I hadn't tried the chicken from the bone before, it does kind of remind me of KFC but it has something that KFC doesn't I can't put my finger on it though and this week they have released their chicken sandwich for Canadian consumption. The slab of chicken they use is pretty big. There is also something else of their that I have yet to try, for some reason they have macaroni and cheese on their menu. I'm not sure how good it will taste but I'm willing to try. It's not bad, but I'd rather just stick with the chicken, oh btw Popeyes updated their website, they finally acknowledge the fact that they no longer serve the mardi gras cheesecake so I don't know if the Chicken Sandwich is here for a limited time, but if not, I'll definitely order it again, and as for the Mac and Cheese, I would rather have KD or the Mac and Cheese that are made by TV dinners (especially Crave)

    No problem. One of the worst things you can do is panic and accept some sort of dialog that says "you have been compromised. Click here". Closing down your browser is always safe so it's not a bad decision. But yeah I was on that website and was reasonably surprised at how little ads and scams there were haha. It also tells you which streams have ads and stuff. I found a great one with no ads and awesome quality.

    I think he talks like that when he reads off the teleprompter, he really has to concentrate reading what is written because it's the first time he has seen what was written plus he is a functioning illiterate imbecile...................which turns me over to Barr That's a big hole that AG Barr is digging, now is there anyone with the balls to push him him

    Pembina Trails. I should also add that I don't hold the teachers responsible. They were stuck out there with little supports. I know that they are working tirelessly, while managing their own personal situations. We have older teachers in the system that must be worried about their health and younger ones with children at home trying to figure out schooling too.

    Covid-19

    6 months ago, they were closing schools and already knew about social distancing. They could have easily developed a plan and have done little to nothing. Cripes, my school does not even have a rain plan yet for the students. It's September and they don't know what to do if it's raining outside. When students were going back in June, my children went for less than an hour. They had no assessment done at that time. They were abandoned by the teachers and the school. One teacher was so horrible at online delivery, she spent her two hours (!!!) a week of online teaching, reading a story to the kids and asking them if they had any questions. No, leadership from the Province, from our school division and our school has been a disaster. Well, civil servants and the administration didn't put anything on hold, they just did their jobs, kind of.

    My youngest goes to a catholic school, so we've given them enough money to afford them I guess. I do feel though that the government and the school divisions dropped the ball pretty bad when it comes to handling this. The gov dragged their feet for 6 months without putting out any guidance and then basically said we'll put things back pretty much the same as usual with the addition of masks and cohorts. Now I get that the divisions were waiting for guidance from the province, but I feel like they could have come up with something and then tweaked it based on the guidance that came out later. Also, the last minute funding that the province announced felt like it came out in a desperate attempt to make their plan look better, but announcing that a week before school opened was too late for the divisions to use towards hiring more staff to all for smaller class sizes and such things. Nice to hear that the kids in younger grades are wearing the masks, even though they aren't required. I was pleasantly surprised when my kid told me her whole class had them.

    Yeah, I was surprised to hear that as well. My youngest is in G3, and her whole class keeps them on all day (except for eating), and they have plexiglass walls between them on the desks. My older ones (G10) have been told that they can take them off in their classes when they are at least 2m apart, but they tell me that they keep them on all the time anyway.

    I was surprised last night when my G3 told me that he and most of the class keep them on all day now. First week it was only when moving between classes but the kids themselves are making the decision to wear the masks. I am pretty damn proud of our kids. Saying they had 6 months (not just you but over and over again I have heard it) is a red flag for me. 6 Months ago were were just finding out about the pandemic, today we are still learning. Saying they had 6 months and couldn't get it done is a misplaced criticism of people that are working very hard and making decisions based on information that is changing every day sometime multiple times a day. I really think we should be giving more praise and appreciation for the many civil servants and school administrators that have had to put their own family in the background while they worked all summer trying to find solutions and options. I honestly believe that all our officials are doing their best and have done a damn fine job with the information they have. Financial resources have not been held back and money is being spent on any possible solution. We are not talking about a disease that has been studied for decades and we have established best practices and are ignoring them. This is new and different and most everyone is working to protect our communities based on the current information and situation. Overall Manitoba has had an excellent response to the pandemic and I'd much rather be here than anywhere else in Canada or the world frankly.
