Weird because @AdrianaLaGrange said there wasn’t a bidding process. So @jkenney which is it?
Speaking earlier today, Premier Jason Kenney answered questions about how Old Navy and IFR Workwear were selected for the $4.2M school masks contract. Background here: cbc.ca/1.5679719 #ableg
How is it that @jkenney thinks an unelected staffer whose only job is to troll on Twitter should make more money than half of Alberta’s family physicians? #notAboutMoney #ItIsAboutRespect #ableg #abpoli #abhealth
An ad hominem argument doesn’t have to include name calling. Dismissing one my my news stories because I’m a “radical leftist”, for example, rather than debating the facts I report on, would be an ad hominem.
@cpeck3 @AdrianaLaGrange @DanScratch03 @RADEducators @DrEvilAcademic @barnfeline @RachelNotley @shoffmanAB @JanisIrwin Well done, Carla... clearly articulates pretty much everything they don't understand about the current curriculum or how it is taught. Today's briefing was an insult to every teacher, and we are fortunate to have you step forward in our defense.
@Luke_Puke5 @AdrianaLaGrange @DanScratch03 @RADEducators @DrEvilAcademic @barnfeline @RachelNotley @shoffmanAB @JanisIrwin As long as you didn’t tear up from a complete loss of hope!
@swaseemedu @cpeck3 @AdrianaLaGrange @DanScratch03 @RADEducators @DrEvilAcademic @barnfeline @RachelNotley @shoffmanAB @JanisIrwin She doesn't comprehend that inquiry based learning was around before my school days began. My favorite times were when we explored. Indeed my SS20 was established as exploration. Since was 1st degree was in Pure Math @AdrianaLaGrange I think nontraditional styles served me well.
