Is Canada on its way to becoming a defacto 51st state?
We keep electing conservatives at every level of government then we will be.
How does this make Canada a 51st state?
Yeah, last I checked, the US has elected school boards that decide what books to allow in libraries. Our school boards used to have tax levying power, so electing them was important, but now? I’m not sure they do much now other than draw salaries and give parents a place to complain, and a proper ombudsman could do that.
They’re super important. They close the loop on power in the district, so that the superintendent is accountable to the community.
Trustees have power to choose/replace the superintendent, who is the “CEO” who theoretically controls everything, but really just Directors and Principals. Directors manage principals and vice-principals. They in turn manage teachers, who manage students (who complain to parents) and communicate learning achievement to parents.
Parents, in turn, can go to trustees if they have a complaint that is not addressed by the district and they usually respond well (if it’s reasonable) since parents elect the trustees. (Trustees hardly get paid much, either. It’s not a role to pursue for wealth.)
We have plenty of Conservatives who want it that way. Canada seems to be sleepwalking towards it, but slower than some other countries.
I dread it when Canada, the USA, the UK and large parts of Europe are all fascist at the same time, as well as Russia and many countries elsewhere. It’s like a cloud looming in every direction at once.
How is this fascist?
Cyberpunk without the cool implants.
