Perhaps they find a way to tax the dead, scorched trees. How dare they set themselves on fire! /s

Depending on the great lake it came from, you’ll probably get heavy metal poisoning. Goldfish are edible and supposedly not bad- they are eaten in many countries including Japan.

Expats who stop paying their medical services plan (or whatever it’s called in other provinces) are not covered, hence the ER bill. People who intended to live abroad for a long time often cancel them.

Unfortunately they won’t be able to read it because it was published before 2008.

The title of this article is disingenuous, and the article itself fails to note that K-8 have already been using the proficiency scale report cards for years. Grades 10-12 continue to have letter grades, and that will likely continue for a while longer. That being said, the numeracy and literacy exams grade on the same proficiency scale, it just converts it to a number (1-4 scale). It’s not impossible to apply this system to high school grades, but it will take some getting used to by teachers, students and parents.

Most middle school kids don’t really care about report cards or grades as they know to that they will just be pushed along with everyone else (this is a separate issue from report card formats). The proficiency based report cards will not change this practice. Another note of importance is that official academic transcripts start in grade 10, so everything before it doesn’t really matter, from an academic record point of view.

Considering the anti-LGBTQ+ and pro-conversion ‘therapy’ stance this organization has, they will not be missed if they disappear. There are less discriminatory organizations that people can support.

In a cruel twist of irony, it marks the 20 year anniversary of the 2003 Okanagan Park fire. Most Kelowna residents would have experienced that and are probably retraumatized.

That’s all they get paid? No wonder they can’t retain them.

Most youth vape now though. It’s not likely that this new cigarette labelling is going to get through to the target demographic.

Controlled burns to manage debris are fine. The problem is that houses and development have been built in fire zones and make fire fighting more difficult.

I write in a hybrid printing-cursive style usually, but what forced me to revive my cursive was getting into fountain pens. They are designed to write cursive and perform beautifully when done properly. Unfortunately, my cursive writing is not nearly as wonderful as my lovely writing implements, but people tend to see the pens and not my butchered penmanship thankfully.

That being said, I would never impose cursive on someone. Just as someone can learn a new calligraphy style, cursive can be learned too if the interest is there.
