Saskatchewan climate action lawsuit ruling shows need for more accountability - Prince Albert Daily Herald When our Sask Party government first passed the Saskatchewan First Act, it seemed to be nothing more than an act of petulance, or just another day in the power struggle between two governments when the lower branch of power can’t properly manage its finances. In enacting the SFA, all the provincial government has done is

“Hey, baby, have you heard the news?” Probably not… - Prince Albert Daily Herald Lately it’s becoming increasingly harder for me to choose a topic for my columns. This frustration is a result of there being far too many issues of concern “happening” at the moment that depressingly shut off any mechanism that might be prompting us to feel positive or upbeat. One of my “New Year’s resolutions” was

Lessons unlearned: How Covid-19 has destroyed our concept of democratic freedoms - Prince Albert Daily Herald More than two years after the Covid-19 pandemic destroyed the lives of more than seven million people world-wide, I find it sickening that some are now attempting to misdirect blame for this carnage onto the preventative measures undertaken to arrest its onslaught. Even more depressing is that the three-headed hydra of disinformation, fake religion, power

The Canada-Alberta M.O.U. solves nothing; bigger problems lie ahead - Prince Albert Daily Herald If one were to take the pundits on CBC or CTV to heart, one would have to seriously believe that the Memorandum of Understanding signed by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney is either a capitulation by the federal government to the demands of a premier brandishing the separatist sword, or is

SP Convention motion demonstrates contempt for democratic principles - Prince Albert Daily Herald Tomorrow’s my birthday, and although I’ve been having a rough week trying to get business issues resolved, the only thing I can think about at the moment is how mind bendingly bizarre it was last Saturday to start listening to a post in Facebook coming online and an opinion being expressed on voting rights by

Smith’s agenda: Confuse the press and public – then repeat - Prince Albert Daily Herald Why it is that Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is still desperately trying to sell Alberta separation as an option? It now seems there’s growing frustration with that option. That’s coming from a population only too willing to sign a petition telling Smith to forget about it. Still, at first glance most news watchers would have

Dealing with irritating behaviour is truly irritating - Prince Albert Daily Herald When dealing with matters currently being discussed in political debate, I’m usually the one sticking his hand in the air and expressing an opinion within mere seconds of the topic having even arisen for discussion. Needless to say, it irritates the living Hell of most of my friends, usually because they’re afraid they may be

Where Piaget’s theories can create potential learning issues - Prince Albert Daily Herald It should be understood that I have emphasized the importance of Piaget’s cognitive developmental stages in a child’s intellectual progression for one simple reason: its four-stage progress and its ability to be measured by a child’s years. As to the effort of someone attempting to measure to what level of academic achievement that student has

Can Piaget’s theories help cleanse our dystopian universe? - Prince Albert Daily Herald When I first decided to become a teacher, I never considered it to be a position wherein one could become a “political instrument”, especially when the subject in which I was planning to specialize was High School Mathematics; man, I’ve never been so “wrong” in my life. Please don’t misinterpret that statement to be me

How we are supposed to “learn”, and why we no longer are - Prince Albert Daily Herald Over the past five weeks, I have been attempting to paint an updated picture of an educational process that is ever increasingly stifling our capacity to learn.

Don’t you realize that virtually every teacher, at least at the high school level thinks you’ve

A message for the Premier: either you’re ‘in’, or call an election Maybe I’m just an old, semi-retired teacher writing Op-Ed columns in a community newspaper that encourages freedom of speech by publishing my “leftist” analyses of political events; what really bugs me, however, is that other than those writing questionable hypotheses for well-funded right wing organizations such as the Fraser Institute or the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, there doesn’t appear to be anyone in the Prince Albert region willing to challenge my perceptions, at least not with
