Todays the day our thirsty C$&t face Premiere is at Mar-a-Lago wearing her nice new Red/White/Blue coat, bending her knee to kiss the ring and to drink from Big Daddy Trump’s “Chalice!” Can’t wait to see what happens next, I got my popcorn and pop!

A Pay Cut Disguised as a Raise (Share This)
Why the March 28 mediator recommendations fall short on salary increases.
The 2011 start date is a bit arbitrary, but teachers have taken 0% for 11 of the last 14 years. With raises in those other years being 1.25, 2, and 2.5%. Don't know how this will go over.

And it is not just legal groups, there is more.... They are also cutting funding for some rural not for profit mental health organizations now which hasn't got much news coverage.Alberta law foundation says minister nixed $10M in funding for legal groups as new bill threatens to 'politicize' grants

Over the last couple of months there have been some pretty major cuts to disability and mental health non-profits, some of which aren't public information yet. Specifically, it seems to be the organizations with the strongest advocacy and public policy chops. It's very coincidently timed with the announcement of the new ADAP program that is supposed to push people off of AISH and into employment. A program we have been given almost no details about.

You need a doctor's note and other tests to qualify for AISH.

The ones I have heard about have been small organizations with tiny budgets, so I don't think it is really about saving money.
There has been a bit of local media coverage in some cases, but perhaps the organizations are not big enough to get attention from the big city media, so it seems so far the government is getting away with it.
I don't know if the government is being vindictive for past advocacy or they find their being outspoken too inconvenient, maybe its both.

I spoke to some admin staff in the Bio Sci department who said that a huge chunk of the $100 million will go towards utilities, and very little of the spending will be visible (but it is much needed)
