In 25+ years in elementary-high school I've seen violence numerous times but never twice from the same student because we expel them. Zero tolerance.

No discussion with parents, admin etc. A student threatened to kill me and my family. He was arrested before the end of the school day n banned from the community.

It's going to happen but how staff handle the situation is key.

Police asked me to evaluate a junior high's compliance with "Active shooter" protocol. The school failed n the officers changed their response protocol because staff refused to cooperate. https://www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article/kicked-bitten-slapped-bc-teachers-say-classroom-violence-is-out-of-hand/

"In fact, the extra money now flowing into Canadian coffers — for context, Canada supplied the U.S. with more than 60 per cent of its crude oil imports last year — will go a long way to making up tariff losses, and could end up more than compensating for them."

"...the windfall could boost the overall economy enough to offset the cost of Trump's tariffs, with some provincial governments even projecting a turnaround on their deficits."

The total cost of Trump's tariffs to Canada's GDP — about 0.5 per cent — could well be outweighed by the positive effects of oil topping $100 US per barrel. High prices that declined over the summer are back as peace recedes, and recent successes by Iran's Houthi allies suggest that high prices are here to stay.

Let's hope common sense is paramount with investigators n maximum charges are against the suspect.https://www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article/police-watchdog-investigating-after-driver-pedestrian-seriously-injured-in-surrey-bc/

"Russian dictator Vladimir Putin invaded his neighbouring democracy, Ukraine, militarily. Donald Trump is taking on the look of a Putin of the West – a smaller version, in that his assault on his neighbouring democracy is mainly economic. So far.

"He will pay for making an enemy of Canada. And following short-term pain, for Canada there will be gain. A nation’s strength doesn’t derive from dependence, but rather the opposite – and the President’s bid to Americanize Canada will lead to more de-Americanization in this country than ever before."

The U.S. President’s efforts to Americanize this country appears to be backfiring completely
