Today, I am thankful for the comedic hour of George Abbott "tweeting". Seriously. It was hilarious. And my favourite part was his "tweeting" pictures of himself. Here are my comments on the CBC website:Post One
I think Christy Clark giggled all lunch hour about what a tool George Abbott looked like participating in this publicity stunt.
He did not even acknowledge or answer 25% of the questions asked.
I think it was smart scheduling it during lunch hour on a school day. Now he can stand up and say: See! See! Teachers get a lunch hour! Five of them tweeted me during their break...
Poor George: seems like no one taught him the meaning of "fall guy."
If you are a parent concerned about childcare during a possible teacher walkout, please feel free to drop your children off at your MLAs office. Your tax dollars paid for their 34% wage increase just prior to the implementation of net zero mandate. And, obviously, if George Abbott can sit around for an hour and "tweet", he has time to watch your children. How do you think he'd do with 30 kids with diverse needs in his office all day?
Post Two
With Bill 22, teachers will be prohibited from bargaining class size, average class size, staffing levels, ratios or caseloads for two years,with this prohibition lifted at the end of the school year in 2013, a month after the next provincial election.
Doesn't it seem rather shifty that it extends until after the next provincial election?
Abbott is a four term MLA. I will wager that after this fiasco, Abbott will "retire" from provincial politics after this current term, taking his lucrative full pension (how many of you teacher hating tax payers get a full pension after less than 15 years on the job?) and avoiding the next fall-out from Liberal mismanagement of public education.
Want to talk about government waste? Let's all get together and admire the new roof on BC Place or reminisce about the Olympics or visit with Basi and Virk. I'm not sure about you but all these things have had a bigger impact on my life than public education.
I am also thankful that more than 100 people agreed with my comments and only three gave me a thumbs down because I am seriously tired of reading about how lazy and selfish I am.
