@CreeClayton thank you for your sharing today. Was particularly moved by your story about your father. Is it available in audio/print and where might I find it? Thank-you!
@FlairAirlines 2h 15m on hold and the call-back system not working. Customer Service person was great and helpful, but you are seriously understaffed!
Whatever else #Bill64 does, it replaces an entire system of publicly elected local representation with a centrally appointed board. @BrianPallister and the @PCcaucus and are no friends of democracy.

Les Canadiens sont profondément perturbés et attristés par l’attaque contre la démocratie survenue aux États‑Unis, notre plus proche allié et voisin. La violence ne l’emportera jamais sur la volonté du peuple. La démocratie aux États-Unis doit être respectée, et elle le sera.
Canadians are deeply disturbed and saddened by the attack on democracy in the United States, our closest ally and neighbour. Violence will never succeed in overruling the will of the people. Democracy in the US must be upheld - and it will be.
@PreetBharara @AnneMilgram In a completely hypothetical situation: if a former president is legitimately convicted & imprisoned, would that individual still be entitled to staff & office expenses, secret service protections, & daily intelligence briefings? Thank #AskPreet

If Trump spoke to the meaning and substance of the graphs rather than the length of the bar, I’d give him some credit. Here... look... this one the US has a small bar, so that’s a good one. Oi t.co/BqsA2EdqGp
@RbACorp hey... how many times do I have to Unsubscribe to your daily spammy emails?! Been a few years and I’m less interested in your services with each one.
@PreetBharara @AnneMilgram When you say, “separate and apart from...” what is the difference between “separate” and “apart”? Can something be separate but not apart from? Or apart but not separate from? Really value your perspective and insight #askpreet #StayTuned #CafeInsider
@milesmac Today the first of a summer virtual program series is up called Mathematical Colors and Codes! Episode One features Prime Factorization. There's a coloring sheet to download along with it. Enjoy! librarycalendar.fair… Play with Math this summer!
What does a VP do in an empty school at the end of the day when she’s missing the staff and students? If you’re Ms. MacFarlane, you sing. And try to smile. We miss you ❤️ #KGCommunity #KGCrusaders #BSDSchools #bdnmb pic.twitter.com/w2Sd…

Success because of, or in spite of...? Nobel Prize Winner's Grade School Report
Are report cards meaningless? 1949: John Gurdon got an F in science, 2012: Won Nobel prize for work in medicine.ow.ly/eoRYQ
— NBPTS (@NBPTS) October 11, 2012
I have occasionally experienced this headmaster's frustration with students and in my early years may even have penned one or two comments with a similar sentiment. It's unclear whether the intent was to motivate or ridicule - probably a bit of both.
This is young John Gurdon's report card. Gurdon recently won the 2012 Nobel Prize for Medicine.
Makes me wonder what was going on in the class and in Gurdon's life at the time. There must be a back-story.
Also makes me wonder how many of today's young students will pull out their old reports on such an occasion and scoff fifty years from now in light of their amazing achievements.
Will innovations like inquiry and project based learning make these stories a thing of the past? Maybe we've fixed everything? What do you think?
