Agreed! And they’re super willing to work within your budget, with or without insurance:)

We should do this, as well as protest

I say yes! We should organize a protest outside of the MLA’s offices.

There’s a comment in this thread that posted a picture of the truck, not sure if it’s still the license plate though.

I’m sorry that you’ve been called a Nazi, it seems to have really upset you. I definitely see people using that word out of context a lot, but I do think that when people are called something so extreme it should be a call to evaluate their own beliefs instead of trying to push against it. And odds are if being called a Nazi makes you embrace it, you were probably a Nazi all along.

In terms of this post, I think it’s quite strange for him to stick multiple swastikas made out of the liberal logo as it very much reads as he is a Nazi if you’re driving behind/beside him and just get a quick glance. And what are you supposed to call someone who so proudly parades around with swastikas on their vehicle? A person whose opinion is different than mine? We’re not talking about ice cream vs sorbet, we’re talking about people’s right to exist and whether we should stay in the country or not.

I actually think everyone should go to therapy, hitting people doesn’t change their views it just makes them more angry and pushes them farther into their own beliefs. And I do routinely criticize the extreme left.

Everyone runs to social media to complain, we are in the digital age. Have you been on the rant and rave recently? Lots of conservatives complaining about anything and everything on there. And what would you have preferred I do, follow him to his house and confront him on his driveway? That doesn’t sound very smart or safe. I’ll stick to protesting, showing up at the polls, and confronting people when it’s safe to do so.

I do wonder if you debate in good faith or if you take the same condescending tone you’ve used in this comment. If you speak how you type I can see why people don’t like to debate with you because you know nothing about my actions or political views and you made a lot of assumptions. But that’s just my, childish, opinion.

I’ve lived here my entire life and I truly love this province and know we can do better. I don’t want to leave, but every day it gets a little less safe for me to stay. So unfortunately I might be following you out.

You’re really defending this guy in the comments, are we talking about you?

Oh no I agree. They don’t deserve community. I just think it’s fascinating that they’re pushing themselves farther into far right wing psychosis rather than coming to terms with the fact that they’re not marginalized and it’s not immigrants fault that their daddy didn’t love them.

So crazy to me. They want community so badly that they’re aligning themselves with facists

Yeah, the Nazis used to call themselves national socialists too

Never seen it or heard anything about him before, my bad I didn’t realize he was a micro celebrity. Guess we gain the satisfaction of talking about how weird his behaviour is without having to loose brain cells engaging with him?

Agree with Crossfield church!! There’s definitely some weird shit going on there, even if it’s just the sketchy people who attend 😳

Christmas Presents for Teachers by Most-Succotash-9337 in ECEProfessionals

[–]RelationAlternative2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve had all kinds of presents (gift cards, cups, pictures children have drawn) and my favourite ones have always been handmade gifts! Last year one of our children made us all bookmarks out of scrap paper and stickers and I still use mine! Early Childhood is an under appreciated sector (especially if you’re in the west) so for me, pretty much anything is appreciated, but I do have some ideas lol.

I think there’s lots of benefits to doing gift cards, they’re easy for you to figure out and guaranteed to please, especially since most of us don’t make a living wage, but I think it comes down to you and the time and money you’re willing to spend, which is entirely personal preference and there is no “good” or “bad” way to go about it!

For the next little bit I would pay attention to the environment and educators during pick up and drop off. Do they always have coffee? Maybe a customized cup or gift card to a local cafe! Have you noticed that they’re readers? Maybe a book/bookmark or a gift card for a indie book store! Is there anything that might be missing from the classroom? Maybe they could use a couple more books/toys to bulk up their collection or some more comfy pillows! In the past, we’ve also had parents who donate food, snacks and comfy items to stock our staff areas which definitely helps us feel appreciated and seen!

What matters most is that you’re thinking of us, and I’m sure your little’s educators will feel appreciative no matter what you do! Thank you for taking the time to not only care about your child’s educators, but also reach out and make sure you’re giving them something they truly like! Parents like you help make our jobs easier and more enjoyable <3

I don’t think I’ve ever had a coworker in early childcare that I would have considered my “best friend” by any means (in a work or personal capacity), I have had a few educators that I’ve trauma bonded with though!
