Yes. And the systemic problems are not exclusive to any political party However, in education, 80-90% of the funding goes into salaries and human resources You can't build or for that matter 'rebuild' an education system, without putting a big focus on teacher salaries

This is a long standing practice - the roots of our current system trace back to the Industrial Revolution.

I am also more familiar with the education sector. Under the NDP, Manitoba teachers were actually the third highest paid in the world, for several years Finland was first in teacher salaries, Canada was second. Within Canada, Manitoba was second only to Alberta From 2008 - 2010: 3% increase per year 2010 - 2014: 3% the first year, 2% in each of the following 3 years 2014 - 2018: 2% each year, with 3% in the final year This amounts to a 24% increase, during that time period I will say I was not completely surprised - to see some reductions while the PCs were in power.

I need some context here. I am pretty sure the last Conservative regime reduced transfer payments.

Trudeau has also increased transfer payments to the provinces. In these difficult times for health care, this can not be overstated.

Very funny. Two of the teams you're using as examples have been bailed out by the league. All 3 teams have attendance problems.

Perfection.

And he's playing the blame game. It's not going to end well.

I hope Buck & ZC watched this game. BC does a good job of combining quick hitters with downfield passing - even if it's just Lucky falling forward for 5 yards.

Gutsy call and great execution on 3rd and 2

Hyperbole deserves...more hyperbole.

Changed my pick to TO, due to Schilz starting. Should've stuck to my original theory, that MBT is not likely to win back to back.

Als were getting good pressure rushing 4.

Bryant was struggling last night. STANLEY BRYANT. Either he's playing hurt or there are problems with the protection scheme, as JBR keeps pointing out.

Fair enough. I removed it for you.

Then they would've held their noses and voted for Scheer.

I could only speculate.

They also prioritized first nations with the covid vaccine.

There, there

West: Winnipeg Calgary BC Edmonton (cross over) East: Toronto Hamilton

But here's the rub: the current Conservatives have no one nearly as competent as Harper was, but even he had trouble winning majorities. If they get in with a minority, they have no one to prop them up.

Jake's not every down DT - but who really is anymore?

Because we all have one.

I am not cheering for the Riders.

I thought about that. Not sure their QB wins back to back games very often.
