David here. Taking over for a thread.

I thought I would share with you why the botched school reopenings have me so fired up.

It comes down to three ladies.
The first is my wife Holly.
Holly passed in June of this year, after an on and off battle with cancer going back 16 years.

She was a teacher at DSMcKenzie Junior High for nearly 30 years.

Over 350 families watched her funeral online. Because of Covid we couldn’t let them attend.
Every year of her 30 years of teaching she came home with a new cold or cough. One year it was pneumonia.

Ask any teacher. Schools are a Petri dish as they stand.
Returning to school without taking additional precautions... well I know what she would have said about that.

I clean it up a little and that’s most of what I post.
The second is my daughter Jameson.
She’s in Grade 11 at Jasper Place, a crowded, 2,500 student high school.

If she contracts it, she might lose her beautiful singing voice.

She was lead singer for the JP 10/20 guitar club last year.
Of course if she brings it home to me, she might be orphaned.

Having your spouse pass puts certain things in perspective, one is how precious life is.

Any Government that is cavalier about the lives of its citizens is just despicable.
The third lady I’m fighting for is my little princess and grand daughter Ciara.

You can see she’s my screen saver.
Ciara is going into Grade One this year.

Such a big girl.
These three ladies are worth fighting for.

So @jkenney and @AdrianaLaGrange open OUR treasury, fund OUR schools, come up with a plan that’s worth more than tissue paper and

KEEP OUR SCHOOLS SAFE!
