      You may be worried about Coronavirus but now that schools are going back you have to be very careful of maths teachers :yikes:

      A high school teacher was arrested this morning at Toronto’s Pearson Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule, and a calculator. CBSA officers at the Terminal 3 security post tipped local authorities of the man’s possessions and fidgety-type behaviour as he passed through the security checkpoint.

      At a press conference, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, flanked by the head of CSIS and RCMP commissioner, said that she and law enforcement agencies at all levels have reason to believe that the man is a member of the notorious extremist Al-Gebra movement. She did not identify the man, who is facing numerous charges including carrying weapons of maths instruction.

      “AL-GEBRA IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR US HERE IN ONTARIO – A SINE OF A BIG PROBLEM. THIS OBTUSE TERRORIST ORGANIZATION DERIVES SOLUTIONS BY MEANS AND EXTREMES, AND SOMETIMES GO OFF ON TANGENTS IN SEARCH OF ABSOLUTE VALUES. CSIS WAS ABLE TO INTERCEPT AND DECODE AT LEAST 2 CODE NAMES “X” AND “Y”, WHICH THEY COMMONLY REFER TO AS “UNKNOWNS.” BUT WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT THEY BELONG TO A COMMON DENOMINATOR OF THE AXIS OF MEDIEVAL WITH COORDINATES IN EVERY COUNTRY. AS THE GREEK PHILOSOPHER ISOSCELES USED TO SAY, ‘THERE ARE THREE SIDES TO EVERY TRIANGLE.’ YES, I SAID TRIANGLE!” – PREMIER KATHLEEN WYNNE AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE.

      When asked to comment on the arrest, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau proudly remarked,

      “I AM A TEACHER. IT’S HOW I DEFINE MYSELF. I’M A POT SMOKING TEACHER WHO HEADS UP A G8 NATION. BOOM!! NOW WHERE WAS I? OH, YEAH… A GOOD TEACHER, AND THIS GREAT COUNTRY THAT WE CALL CANADA, HAS NO ROOM FOR AL-GEBRA AND ITS INSIDIOUS INNER-WORKINGS. I FIGURE THAT MY TEAM AND I WILL BE ABLE TO BALANCE THE FEDERAL BUDGET IN 8 MONTHS WITHOUT AL-GEBRA AND ITS TERRORIST, MISLEADING WAYS. CANADA WAS BUILT AROUND A VERY SIMPLE PREMISE: A PROMISE THAT WE, AS PROUD CANADIANS, CAN WORK HARD, SUCCEED, AND BUILD A FUTURE FOR OURSELVES AND OUR KIDS, AND THAT A FUTURE FOR OUR KIDS WOULD BE BETTER THAN THE ONE THAT YOU HAD, ALL WITHOUT AL-GEBRA.”

      He continued, “If God had wanted us to have better weapons of maths instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes, it’s really that simple.”

      Fellow Liberal colleagues told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by any Prime Minister in Canada’s history. Ever.

          @shiney most accurate... :)

          Mr. Dressup keeps telling us that our provinces are responsible for the slow jabs but what is really happening is all of the vaccine he promises seems to be remain invisible. We have no doses in our province that haven't already been done or booked in the next day or so. Then the cupboard will be bare again.

              Yeah but now they are saying you won't be "safe" until the whole world is jabbed, a bit of an exaggeration on my part I know.
              But they don't want this to end, the third wave is heading our way from Europe.
              There seems to be some revelling in restrictions going on in certain quarters.

              By the time the rest of the world gets jabbed ours will have worn off. :biggrin:

                Well, I think it's a known fact that we'll never be safe even when the whole World is jabbed, pete, as there's always something happening, never mind COVID 19, that's not good, like getting run over by the No.53 Bus

                    Well, my Mother couldn't afford the bus fare for me to get to School, shiney, so I used to walk the 5 miles to get there what ever the weather and see the No.53 Bus go sailing past me on the walk there and back.....it kind of sticks in my childhood memories......especially now I'm in my second Childhood.:dunno::heehee:.

                      I figured it was a little dated as our current Provincial Premier is Doug Ford, a conservative. But a fun read :)

                        If you have had the jab you are still a danger to others and could pass the virus on.
                        That's what they keep telling us.

                        If that is the case why are we getting all this talk about vaccine passports, either the first information is incorrect or the second is pointless.

                        Sounds like we are being fed more misinformation just as we were when we were told that you can catch it twice within a short space of time .

                          According to my GP - I'm going to be invited to book my vaccine in the next few days. Just having a single jab, I can rest a little easier. Although 'stay local' restrictions are being lifted tomorrow - and I can go down the allotment - I'm going to have my jab first.

                          It's still out there - this from the beeb - it appears that some people don't have a conscience. They are going to have to live with this for the rest of their lives:

                          Police have arrested two care home staff in connection with an outbreak of Covid-19 at a care home in Devon.

                          Nine deaths have been reported at the Holmesley Care Home in Sidmouth since 25 February.

                          A woman, 57, from Sidmouth, and a man, 30, from Exeter, have been arrested on suspicion of wilful neglect.
