This has nothing to do with responsible. If I, as a parent, lost my job and cant feed my children, then how the heck do you expect me to pay for electricity and cable (for wifi)? Losing my job has absolutely nothing to do with being responsible. My kids can't attend virtual sessions because, hello, there is no internet. So my child suffer because of COVID-19? Absolute rubbish. Now, I agree with Jeff, the exams are "elective" - but the problem is that students who were not able to keep up with virtual classes will be disadvantaged, both in terms of grades, and in trying to garner employment or post-secondary education. Mr. Lloyd should keep the exams open, but, no child should be penalized for failing to take exams this year. This is a really easy situation to solve.
Moncurcool, come on, stop playing politics. I am no fan of Brave either, but he is asking legitimate questions. I have absolutely no idea what the PM is trying to do - and I believe that most non-FNM sycophants do not either. This is not political, this is a legitimate question.
Does not matter, stop with the "this person was bad". Bumbling Bill Allen wasn't all that great either, so stop with the political nonsense. This issues is much, much more than James Smith - as I am sure you know.
Increased VAT was inevitable - nothing we can do about that. And, it is about time that we implement a corporate tax. It is specious to think that as a country we can exist without one.
So, in all of your subterfuge and conspiracy theories, you neglected to advise us poor, uneducated folds as to what was up. Would you mind explaining what exactly this was, please?
Mark, the government cannot sustain financing small businesses. No government can. What should happen, instead, is that the government should facilitate policies whereby small business owners can create business without having to beg the government.
