Shirley Strikes Out
The headline screams, "MINISTER VOWS TO MAKE B.C. STUDENTS HEALTHIER."
The article tells us that the highly effective, deeply committed Shirley Bond ("The name is Bond. Shirley Bond." I see Reese Witherspoon in the role.) will cut away at the junk foods and increase physical activity. Like running for the exits.
This is all very nice, isn't it?
The only problem is that B.C. schools abandoned recess, physical ed and sports programs in a huge way about 20 years ago and it will take not a few million but many millions of dollars to get all of that back up to speed. Of course, new gymnasia and the like, but more importantly, hundreds of new teachers.
And guess what? Shirley isn't about to spend that kind of money. Not with Gordon at the helm.
Her "aggressive new strategy" is hogwash, a drop in a polluted ocean, a smoke and mirrors job.
Did she make this announcement from the PNE?

Yes David, this Annoucement was made from the PNE. It was difficult making out what she was bleating, as she was lathering butter onto her Candy Floss, and still had bits of candied apple partially disabling her ability to speak. But when she turned and ordered another corndog..........we knew that she was sincere! Cheers from Hornby!
