New Zealand: Let's do the time warp again!

"Health New Zealand" publishes their new pandemic plan
My experience as an educator has taught me that change begins within. It is our inner experience that enables us to gain perspective, to re-evaluate and change gear. This is the need of our time.

This point was forcibly driven home for me this week when I read the “New Zealand Pandemic Plan: A Framework For Action.” This document has just been published by Health New Zealand, which is laying out NZ policy in the event that the WHO declares another pandemic. It is a prime example of an aspiring cabal of policy wonks stuck in the past, unable to change gears and move forward. For 211 pages, the document rambles on rubber stamping all the mistakes of the COVID-19 pandemic response. It dictates that in the near future we will do it all again—lockdowns, masks, vaccines, antivirals, mandates, social distancing, isolation, school and business closures, and censorship of media content.

How is it possible that Health New Zealand managed to validate all their previous pandemic actions when phase one of the Royal Commission of Inq...

From Richmond to Ottawa: Indigenous Land Claims Threaten Private Property Rights Across Canada

The Continuing Perversity of Civil Asset Forfeiture

A Richmond, B.C. man who’s owned his home since 1975 claims he has just been told his mortgage will not be renewed — because the B.C. Supreme Court granted title of his land to the Cowichan Tribe. After nearly 50 years of paying taxes, maintaining his home, and contributing to the community, his lender has informed him that his property no longer qualifies as secure collateral. The reason? His land title is now contested under an Indigenous land claim.

“I’ve owned my land for decades,” he said. “I’m not giving it up without a fight.” The homeowner received the news by letter and said his mortgage company refused renewal due to the uncertainty surrounding ownership. “I paid taxes, I paid for my place.

Started on FB and everyone is losing their minds over the back to work order for teachers. Even Notley posted. I have been following this before they went out on strike and listened to Shilling blabber and change the story on talk shows. I may offend some but such is life but I don't care what has to happen to get kids back in the school of THEIR choice and stop this insanity. If you work for the taxpayer you should have no right to strike or threaten to in solidarity. I don't know the answer but what has happened for more years than not is not working.

Also put the special needs coded kids in their own classrooms all together and not with the ones there to learn. Sorry but if severe they will never learn like the others.
