"As the labour movement in this province, our leaders have made a commitment to rise to that challenge, defend the teachers and their rights, defend worker rights more broadly, and to defend our democracy. We have no choice."

[Gil McGowan, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour] stopped short of confirming whether that response would include a provincewide strike, but said, “it’s one of the things that's actively under consideration."

I feel like the obvious rewrites to cover Gatwa's exit were so jarring, it's hard to feel overly positive about the twist.

But taken in isolation...IDK, there's potential there. It's all about the execution.

With RTD still on board, he's all but guaranteed to do...whatever it is he has in mind with Billie Piper.

Whether it's a one-off or an ongoing thing is pretty hard to say.

A "search for the Doctor" arc could actually be an interesting change of pace, assuming Piper isn't playing the Doc.

I'm not in Alberta, but pay doesn't seem to be the sticking point here - the union is trying to negotiate on class sizes (which AFAIK the province is refusing to even disclose) and classroom supports.

The BBC just confirmed that the show will continue and will return with a Christmas special in 2026 penned by showrunner Russell T. Davies.

Good. Let's just put it all behind us and move forward.

Abuse of the NWS has been progressively normalized over the last few decades, and I think we've reached the breaking point.

She also says on several occasions, contractors came into her suite without 24 hours written notice, which the Residential Tenancies Branch requires.

Are these conditions reasonable?

Isn't that a separate issue? If the question is whether the ankle monitors are effective at ensuring people don't breach their conditions, the answer seems to be a clear "no," regardless of what you may think of those conditions.

Those don't sound like very good reasons to ignore your legal obligations.

I'm kind of stunned to see that MTL and WPG have identical records. I guess the fact that a couple of Winnipeg's wins felt like losses has something to do with it.

The Bombers lost Chris Streveler to a potentially career-ending injury in a fairly meaningless game.

Streveler has had serious limitations as a quarterback, which have been on full display this season, but he seems like a great dude, and it sucks to see him go out like that.

And with the BC win over the Riders, Winnipeg is set for a rematch (of sorts) against Montreal as they cross over to the East...

 

I consulted an expert: Matt Mitovich, a respected veteran TV industry and entertainment reporter, known for breaking news....The answer came in the most recent edition [of his column]:

“You can rest assured that Wiseman will appear on Starfleet Academy, as a guest star in one episode.”

 

The Progressive Conservatives, now in Opposition, voted in favour of the report alongside the NDP and have said they're not helping Stefanson pay the fine.
