In my 10 years of teaching I have slowly watched class sizes climb and class complexities create more demand. Teaching has gotten harder each year. What does the next 10 look like? I am passionate and love what I do despite being attacked and told to do more with less.

"It has been said that democracy dies in the dark. It is essential that there be open debate on matters of the public interest. The importance of a judicial declaration on a Charter violation is heightened when a legislature fails to provide any demonstrable justification for that violation."

Watching the AFL press conference brought a bit of hope on an otherwise defeated return.
Teachers still feel compelled to keep fighting, even though this government has suspended our constitutional right to strike.
Democracy is designed to be a painfully slow process to prevent abuses of power.

Trump prioritizes loyalty, expedience, and personal vindication-- casting doubt on judicial impartiality when it conflicts with his interests.
Needless to say, his idea of justice is certainly not blind, and the scales tip towards whatever is in his favour.

"Donahue said he's unsure proper regulations can be created to reverse the impacts of coal mining, because there is little historical evidence companies have been able to do so after they've ended operations, no matter how much money they spend."

▫️Americans should expect to pay more for clothing, food, vehicles, and electronics as companies pass tariff costs to shoppers.
