Delusional

Rachel Notley lost the election yesterday.  What was her reaction?  She vowed to stay on as leader of the Alberta New Democratic Party.  This is her second defeat, but she's going to stay on.  Really?  

Sounds like the Leaf's management and coach.  We keep losing, but we're going to keep doing the same thing over and over for fifty years, hoping for a different result.

Not gonna happen.

Perhaps the party might have something to say about Rachel's intentions, no?  When you keep losing, there is a mandatory leadership review and I would wager there are a bunch of members who are fed up with her.  The NDP's win in 2015 was an aberration; they had never won an election before and haven't since.  The PCs and UCPs have won 17 elections.  They did again.

The NDP in Alberta is itself an aberration.  This is a conservative, red meat, eat what you kill, money province that Rachel managed to bankrupt in just the four years she was in office.  The people who vote for her are ill-informed, new Albertans -- both legal and illegal -- who fear the word "conservative".  Alberta can't afford to take a chance on Notley again.

Here's another depressing story.  Canada's auditor general, Karen Hogan, released a scathing report on the plight of children in Nunavut.  A review of child and family services was so alarming her office immediately raised concerns with the territorial government.  

"This report is more than statistics, trends and a compilation of facts.  It is an urgent call to action," Ms. Hogan said during a news conference Tuesday in Iqaluit.  Among the findings were, "That the territory inadequately responded to reports of suspected harm, did not complete many investigations, did not sufficiently monitor the welfare of children in care, failed to meet obligations for the health and safety of employees and could not provide accurate numbers of children in its care.  

Other than that, Mrs. Kennedy, how was your trip to Dallas?

This is shocking, but predictable.  Who's running Nunavut?  P.J. Ageeagok:

Who's the minister of family services?  Margaret Nakashuk.  They and the entire cabinet are made up of Indigenous people who are criminally neglecting children under their care.

This is the result of Indigenous people insisting on running their own shows.  Isn't working.  As a result, the department doesn't know about children's well-being, whereabouts or the kind of care they are receiving.  How can this stand?

It does and it will.  Wrong.  Criminal charges need to be laid.  But they won't be.
