Super Duper Negatron

Total **** show. Want this over and was really disappointed they didn't send K-6 back. They are getting very little actual learning out of this compared to the stress it is putting on everyone, least of all us the parents who are also trying to work during the day. My kids are 10 and 8 by the way. Also, helpful hint to all you Facebook or Instagram heroes on my feed that post perfectly staged smiling happy photos of everyone after just another swell day of remote learning. **** you. Joking of course. (sort of) For real though, SeeSaw notifications actually cause me physical harm at this point.

Logo isn't bad. Nice and clean.

It appears to be Edmonton Elks without the EE logo? 🤔

Little weirded out that MB is going ahead with the mix and match plan for AZ without waiting for the results of the study. Lots of comments in that article about allowing the population to make an "informed decision" while also throwing in a lot of ifs and buts. Just me?

Highly recommend Mitchells vs the Machines for families. It's a blast.

Seeing huge crowds at NHL games in the states has me in a state of disbelief. It doesn't seem possible for us to be at such opposite ends of this thing.

Cue the Trudeau ha-...oh wait.

Agreed. Doing the equivalent of 1/10th the work they would do in a normal school day over SeeSaw with working parents trying to help in between meetings is a waste of everyone's time. Again, mostly talking about K-4 here.

**** remote learning for elementary school. We got about 2 weeks of learning done in 4 months last year. Pointless. Just cancel the school year.

Ship vaccine from the US? What the hell am I missing? We have added entire communities and just recently dropped the age multiple times. Just add teachers to the list already. Jesus.

I have an update: watching the Bombers win the Grey Cup does not get old.

I know there are jokes about Covid not spreading in schools, but we did get out of the last wave without shutting them down.

Pallister's comment about Monday morning quarterbacking...

I keep having this argument with people. "It isn't Pallister's fault...people aren't following the rules!". Well, when your rules are inconsistent and make no sense, people look at them and decide to ignore them. It is really hard to convince someone to follow rule A (no visitors at home!), when rule B (but you can meet with friends on a crowded patio!) directly contradicts it. It gives you no credibility. It is like parents giving warnings of punishments that never come. Eventually the kids ignore them. (guilty...parenting is hard)

Hearing close to 500 cases today. Pallister is a genius.

Kids spring sports started just in time to be cancelled again. Huzzah!

re: Anya Taylor-Joy. Queen's Gambit on Netflix. Watch it.

Pizza?

I cant see how. Manitoba is only on pace for shot 1 by then. I didn't think that was enough for herd immunity.

Boo! Love taking the kids to the AVR. Hope they find a home.

If teachers were a priority, which they should have been, maybe allocating the AZ supply to them would have made more sense then vaccinating me, who works from home all day.

What a sad state of affairs.

Finland does it for speeding tickets I think.

Make the fines proportional to annual income. And no, I am not joking.

Those aren't the people you worry about, they have their minds made up. But there are a bunch of people that want to follow the rules, but are much more willing to bend them when they see what half assed measures the government has put in place. Locking **** down makes someone on the fence think twice about the safety of having friends over for drinks, but when the government says they can do that safely on a patio they figure "well, what's the harm". If you give a mouse a cookie, and all that...
