I don't determine the order.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136317901768500285.post-20049903313102686522013-01-03T11:42:00.002-05:002013-01-03T12:00:48.352-05:00The Ontario Liberals have lost the next provincial election.Ontario Education Minister Laurel Broten has decided to impose conditions of employment on Ontario's public elementary and secondary school teachers. She did mention that she would repeal Bill 115 after the the conditions of employment had been imposed. She did use the term "collective agreement." However, a collective agreement requires two or more parties to agree. There will be no collective agreement between the teachers and their employers, the school boards.<br />
<br />
Broten assumes that by repealing Bill 115, the teachers will go back to work normally. She assumes that teachers will go back to participating in extra-curricular activities. That will not happen. Teachers will likely not participate in extra-curricular activities for the next two years. They will not organize field trips or meet with parents after school. There will be no grade-eight or high school graduation ceremonies in the evening. There will be no evening high school dances.<br />
<br />
The Liberals may assume that the education system will get back to normal. Unfortunately for them, that will not happen. It will be likely that teachers will protest in front of the Liberal leadership convention site in Toronto on Friday and Saturday of the convention weekend.<br />
<br />
There will likely be an election this spring. I don't know which voters will support the Liberals based on Laurel Broten and Dalton McGuinty imposing conditions of employment on the teachers. If one hates the teachers, one will support the Conservatives. If one supports the teachers, one will support the NDP.<br />
<br />
It will be likely that teachers will campaign against the Liberals and Conservatives in the next election. Most likely, Laurel Broten's riding will be targeted. To the teachers, the Liberals are just another group of right-wing Conservatives. In fact, Dalton McGuinty and Laurel Broten made the former Conservative premier Mike Harris, and education minister John Snobelen look good by comparison.<br />
<br />
No amount of salvaging by the current Liberal leadership candidates will help restore their relationship with the teachers of Ontario.<br />

It's because the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario is starting its annual general meeting today in Toronto.<br />
<br />
I don't know how Broten will try to woo young teachers. Perhaps she wants to divide and conquer. She may think that by getting to impressionable young teachers, she can tell them that the older and more experienced teachers are hurting the young teachers. All I will say is that the older teachers have helped the younger ones with their professional development. What has Laurel Broten done to help young teachers besides originally planning to freeze the pay-grid?<br />

This time I respectfully disagree with his comments about the Queers Against Israeli Apartheid (QuAIA). He seems to imply that QuAIA is an outside group that has infiltrated the Pride Week festivities. QuAIA ranks low on his "gay-o-meter". One could state the same about Kulanu--the gay Jewish student group. While the core group of Kulanu may be gay, its general supporters in the parade diminish the "gayness" of Kulanu by focussing on Israel rather than LGBT pride. Kulanu's participation in Toronto's Pride parade ranks low on my "gay-o-meter."<br />

I think she was trying subtly to link Mulcair's comments to the BC NDP. She didn't think it was necessary that BC should have its own environmental assessment of the Northern Gateway pipeline proposal. She would rather give this responsibility to the <em>HarperGovernment</em> (TM). At the same time, she wanted more powers for BC (except environmental assessments). She supports electing senators for BC that Harper can reject for appointment.<br />

Keep playing dead. Pretend they don’t exist.<br />
<br />
Play dead a little longer until they walk away.<br />
<br />
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS:<br />
<br />
1:00: Gather nuts.<br />
<br />
1:05: Hide in tree.<br />
<br />
1:10: Wait for couple to walk by.<br />
<br />
They stop.<br />
<br />
1:15: Aim nuts at their nuts.<br />
<br />
Fall out of tree! Oh no!<br />
<br />
Play dead. The couple is coming toward me!<br />
<br />
1:20: Keep playing dead! Pretend they don’t exist!<br />
<br />
1:25: They’re taking photos of me.<br />
<br />
Now, they are offering me some [mixed] nuts.<br />
<br />
I accept.<br />
<br />
They take another photo of me with some nuts stuffed in my mouth.<br />
<br />
They smile at me.<br />
<br />
I smile back. Or at least I try with my mouth full of nuts.<br />
<br />
1:30: They wave good-bye and walk away.<br />
<br />
I run back to my tree with my nuts knowing that I will never be afraid of gay
men again.<br />

There are a diversity of opinions expressed by bloggers who post under the <em>progressive</em> label. Bloggers include Liberals, NDPers, non-aligned social democrats, perhaps a socio-path or two, former Progressive Conservatives, current Greens, and the occasional Marxist-Leninist. I do not expect everyone to agree on everything. If we did, then the <em>Progressive Bloggers</em> site would be truly boring.<br />
<br />
The people who post on <em>PB</em> hold a range of opinions on issues such as abortion rights, the Alberta Tar/Oil Sands, the environment, unite-the-progressives, proportional representation, and Israel. I have even expressed a view or two about Quebec that makes Preston Manning seem like <em>St. Poutine</em> compared to me.<br />
<br />
If people disagree with a blogger, then comment on his/her post. If that blogger does not allow comments or if their moderation settings are too high, then reply with your own blog post. If people are really insulted by what others state in their blogs, then ignore them. I stopped going to the <em>Blogging Tories</em> website because I thought its bloggers' posts were way too asinine. Why should I give the <em>Blogging Tories' </em>bloggers attention?<br />

There is an impressive list of candidates to replace Jack Layton. However, one candidate impresses me the most--Thomas Mulcair. The other candidate have their core strengths. Brian Topp is a strong labour organizer. Peggy Nash can connect with the NDP's tradional base. Paul Dewar has a strong commitment to human rights and the environment. Nathan Cullen seeks some big-tent vision for progressive Canadian voters. Those same candidates have their weaknesses. Brian Topp has never run for MP. I don't know if Peggy Nash would be able to reach Canadians beyond the traditional NDP base. Paul Dewar's French is weak. Also, his responses during the debates in English tended to be shallow in my opinion. While Nathan Cullen proposes some co-operation agreement between the NDP and Liberals where the two parties would run in half of the ridings across Canada, I don't know how this would work in practice. Which party gets to run a candidate in which riding?<br />
<br />
If the NDP membership chooses Thomas Mulcair for the next leader of the NDP, Mr. Mulcair will be ready to lead the party from day one. He will not need to find a seat or improve his French. He will work to get the vote from Canadians who traditionally vote Conservative and Liberal. That means highlighting NDP policies that with attract those voters using political language to do so. The phrase "ordinary Canadians" will be banished from Thomas Mulcair's vocabulary. He will make Stephen Harper's perceived strengths on economic issues into weaknesses. He will likely get his NDP MPs to be more focused during Question Period by asking questions that deal with one subject that is relevant to many Canadians. He will show Canadians that the NDP is ready to govern.<br />
<br />
Thomas Mulcair has knowledge and skills to lead the NDP and become Canada's next prime minister.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136317901768500285.post-13913214815749570542012-02-08T18:01:00.000-05:002012-02-08T18:01:49.730-05:00Thomas Mulcair: Down to third choiceOver the past few months, I have sent polite emails under my real name to Thomas Mulcair's campaign. I have not received one reply yet. If a political candidate's organization is unable to respond to questions and comments from Canadians, then is that candidate fit to become the leader of the NDP and eventually prime minister?<br />
<br />
If I do not receive any responses from Thomas Mulcair's campaign, I will place Mr. Mulcair in a lower rank on my preferential ballot.<br />
<br />
Please respond to my emails.<br />

Even though she didn't mention my blog or blog name, she did briefly mention my rank-ballot poll for the next NDP leadership. I will state that I am not working for any candidate in real life. I will not be supporting any candidate on my blog. Ms. Funke did mention that people can track the transfer of votes from candidates dropping out to those remaining.<br />
<br />
I will emphasize that the poll is not scientific. I am encouraged that more people are participating--perhaps multiple times. I do limit voting to one per hour.<br />

You might not be eligible to vote for the next leader.I just noticed on the NDP's website the early and late cut-off dates that one must obtain an NDP membership in order to vote for the next leader of the federal NDP. While all those who want to vote for the next leader must obtain a membership by February 18, 2012, NDP membership holders will have had to obtain their memberships after different dates depending on the province or territory where they live.<br />
<br />
From the NDP website: <a href="http://leadership2012.ndp.ca/convention/how-vote">http://leadership2012.ndp.ca/convention/how-vote</a><br />
<ul><li>Individuals who take out memberships on or before February 18th 2012 are eligible to vote in Leadership 2012.</li>
<li></li>
<li>See the chart below for the membership cut-off date in your province/ territory. You must have joined or renewed your membership AFTER the following dates:</li>
<li> </li>
<li><strong>Newfoundland and Labrador</strong> September 15th, 2011</li>
<li><strong>Prince Edward Island</strong> January 1st, 2011</li>
<li><strong>Nova Scotia</strong> October 1st, 2011</li>
<li><strong>New Brunswick</strong> February 18th, 2011</li>
<li><strong>Quebec</strong> February 18th, 2011</li>
<li><strong>Ontario</strong> September 15th, 2011</li>
<li><strong>Manitoba</strong> September 1st, 2010</li>
<li><strong>Saskatchewan</strong> September 15th, 2011</li>
<li><strong>Alberta</strong> September 1st, 2011</li>
<li><strong>British Columbia</strong> February 18th, 2011</li>
<li><strong>Yukon</strong> November 20th, 2010</li>
<li><strong>Northwest Territories</strong> February 18th, 2011</li>
<li><strong>Nunavut</strong> February 18th, 2011</li>
</ul><br />
I live in Ontario. I also signed up for a membership on August 24, 2011 just after the death of Jack Layton. According to the membership sign-up requirements, I will not be eligible to vote unless I choose to renew my membership. Since I signed up for a membership 23 days too early, I will not be eligible to vote. I hope that the party will rectify this situation as I may choose not to renew my membership out of principle. There may be a few members who may suddenly realize that they will not be eligible to vote if they joined the party a few days too early.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136317901768500285.post-86826293375106029602011-12-06T20:25:00.002-05:002011-12-06T20:29:47.976-05:00And here's to you, Attawapiskat<em><strong><span style="font-size: large;">And Here's to You, Attawapiskat</span></strong></em><br />

I have tried to estimate the possible margin of error through the use of an automated telephone push-button poll. I have concluded that my candidate and party will have no chance in winning my riding where I live. Therefore, I will not be voting in the Ontario provincial non-democratic election.<br />

Heck, anyone would have been able to start up a private religious school by placing a Christian cross, Star of David, or Muslim crescent on the front door. We would have ended up with more credit mill private schools. Remember that Tim Hudak supported John Tory's proposal to provide funding for private religious schools.<br />

Included in an extended program would be more practice time in the classroom.<br />
<br />
More professional learning by future teachers is very worthy. An extended program could include working with students with exceptional needs (Special Education students), English Language Learners, plus a few extra electives such as Multicultural Education, Media, Reading, Writing, Kindergarten, advanced Physical Education, Music, and French. The universities would love to offer extra courses as they would be able to charge full tuition to second year Teacher Education students. Currently some school boards and unions charge reduced rates to their members to take equivalent Additional Qualification courses.<br />
<br />
Student teachers could spend more time in the classroom through practicuums. However, some school boards such as the Lakehead Public School Board can only take so many student teachers as it is a relatively small school board. Lakehead University has a lot of candidates who require teaching placements. Many candidates go to school boards outside Thunder Bay in order to gain practical experience.<br />
<br />
If people were required to complete a two-year teaching degree, expect them to receive a Master of Education degree. That would mean every new teacher would be starting at the highest rate of pay for a first year teacher. Expect fewer teachers to take extra Additional Qualification courses since there would be little incentive to take these courses without respective pay increases. This may seem selfish. However, teaching is a profession where few people go into higher level positions. Yes, teachers will still take daily workshops. However, the costs will need to be paid by their school boards.<br />
<br />
The Ontario Liberal news release mentioned that people in other countries spend more time in teacher education programs than Ontario's one-year education programs. Ontario does have four-year teacher education programs that include courses in non-teaching subjects. The Liberals did not mention how the programs in Japan, Finland, and Singapore were designed. They also didn't mention that while Finland does well in the not mentioned PISA standardized tests, it does not conduct internal standardized tests like Ontario does with the EQAO's. The PISA tests are given at random schools. I have seen sample question which require more creativity and critical thinking than do the EQAO's among those taking the tests.<br />
<br />
If the Liberals extend the teaching program to two years, this may prevent poorer but highly educated Ontarians from going to university to get a teaching degree. I have been supply teaching for several years. I have learned more about teaching through my practical experience than by taking extra courses. Yes, these courses do help me with my teaching. However, they improve my ability to teach by a small margin. My practical experience has made me into a much better teacher. I have learned how things work or don't work in different classrooms. An extra year of a teacher education program would have marginally helped me and the students that I teach.<br />

<br />
<em>I couldn’t agree with Ms. Blatchford more. Come on! Think about those police funerals which seem to get larger every time there are media cameras around. I have to watch the 24 cop funeral news channels every time a cop gets shot or killed in some other way. I hate seeing all those flags a half mast for some dead cop. Thankfully, the cop shops don’t have their flags at half mast for Jack Layton even though he is going to receive a state funeral.</em><br />
<br />
<em>[Maybe] Blatchford doesn’t want to see Canadians cry incessantly for Jack Layton like North Koreans mourning their Great Leader, Kim Il Sung. She didn’t like the poetic crap that Jack Layton wrote in his letter to Canadians. Personally, I wasn’t too fond of Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Get real! And what was Gandhi doing prancing around half naked in India? Trying to gain independence for India from British rule? How about that terrorist-socialist-commie-thug Nelson Mandela? Upon his release from prison, he helped destroy South Africa with those bloody vuvuzelas!</em><br />
<br />
<em>The Honourable Jack Layton’s state funeral will be taking place in downtown Toronto this Saturday. There will be plenty of police officers around making sure that there is ample security for Canada’s leaders who will be present. [Those leaders] include Stephen Harper and Dalton McGuinty. With all those police officers in downtown Toronto this Saturday, I recommend that those who wish to mourn the loss of Jack Layton do so in front of their cop TV news channels. If they really need to be downtown, they can get together in the mourning zone behind Queen’s Park. I’m sure Christy Blatchford would agree.</em>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
