anyway, eventually it was time for the teachers union and the government to renegotiate their contracts, and surprise surprise, no agreement could be reached as we couldn't afford any sort of financial commitment because education is less important than MLAs pensions Nova Scotia MLAs to get pension eligibility after 2 years - Nova Scotia - CBC News. this led to a battle that lated for months, work to rule, strikes, all that and more. great for the students, right?
so long story short, everyone hated the guy, complained about him 24/7. the election rolls around and... record low voting. guess what? he gets back in with a majority government once again!

great stuff. |
Maybe after 40 years of failed attempts to fix public education people either don't care or prefer the broken fishing boat. Compulsory education is a disaster, world wide. Missing school is pretty much a guarantee to be time better spent than in school. I've been on boats and in classrooms. Boats are better.
