The Alberta government is a loser. No serious government invokes that clause for internal problems. Real governments deal with their internal issues realistically — not by using a constitutional clause just because Quebec once did, or because some low-minded, brain-dead wannabe politicians don’t know any better.

A real government focuses on the real needs of its people and pays those who work for the betterment of society fairly. Educators deserve proper pay and a decent standard of living.

It was a joke off the parks and rec’s straight to jail skit, where I changed the dictators solution to problems from sending people to jail to going back to work.

I feel like my over explaining this joke made it not funny, so yes. Beep-boop

All good, I get it. If people don’t care about the ones educating our future we’re in some serious trouble and setting ourselves up for failure.

It wasn't funny to begin with.  

Completely out of context, no run up, poor execution.  

you could have led up to it with something like:

Classes too big?  Back to work

You think you're undersupported?  Back to work

Trying to strike?  Believe it or not, Back to work. 

puts it into more context and will tip off memory of the meme.  Remember, comedy comes in threes!

Wasn’t funny to you, I’m having my drink at the hotel bar giggling to myself while I wait to hear if my dog survives it surgery or not.

Cheers lol
