Who is Mike Harris now working for? The Frasier Institute as a Senior Fellow! By chance I happen to have a copy of the institute's five year plan for 1998 - 2002. When I can find some time I'll share the 'hi'-lites with you and the list.
AC, As Adlai Stevenson said, "it hurts too much to laugh and I am too old to cry" Still, the people seem to be going along with this stuff. In Canada we have a left alternative in the NDP and they seem to have a dwindling constituency. The fashion or flavour of the day still seems to be that the government can do nothing right and the market can never be wrong. Fasten your seatbelts as we approach that well known wall called reality. -----Original Message----- From: mcandreb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 5:44 AM To: Ed Weick; Brian McAndrews Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Crumble and despair in our education policy Ed wrote: And yes, Snobolen also demonstrated that you can't put the small business mind in charge of major social programs and expect good results. Hi Ed, I began teaching in 1972. In 1989 I was seconded from my school board to teach full time at Queen's University, Faculty of Education. Due to budget cuts in 1991, the faculty could only afford me half time so I taught in a local high school each morning and at the faculty each afternoon from 1991 to 1999. I was in an Ontario school for the first four years of the neo-con regime.(1995-1999).I experienced first hand( just like your first hand experience in northern native communities- ['first hand' is a helluva lot more informative than reading about it in the Financial Times, agree?] It affects(sic) you more, like it did Father Jim who I wrote about recently re the Innu- )THE CRISIS BEING CREATED AND IMPLEMENTED Now back to your quote at the top of this post. Snobelen and his successors as Ministers of Education are only the pawns. And the agenda of the brains behind these pawns is not about small business . Margaret Thatcher's agenda represented the "Cancer Stage of Capitalism". Bush et al continue her work. Who is Mike Harris now working for? The Frasier Institute as a Senior Fellow! By chance I happen to have a copy of the institute's five year plan for 1998 - 2002. When I can find some time I'll share the 'hi'-lites with you and the list. Take care, Brian
