The government loves to pit us against each other. It certainly solves a lot of their problems like answering why they keep cutting funding for education and take a hard-fisted approach to negotiating with the individuals who literally raise our children (let's face it, teachers spend more time in a day with kids than most parents do) and make every attempt to turn kids into productive and respectable members of society.
Unfortunately most parents today would rather berate a teacher under the guise that they are free-loading and lazy, than to take the time to learn for themselves just what the reality is within the classrooms they send their children to every day.
Nevertheless, since this is a thread about RCMP funding, all I have to say is we're on a great path as a society with increased security/policing spending and continuously reduced support for public education.
Wow, you have bought right into the union garbage.
Provincial funding for education, either on a per-student or overall rate has NEVER decreased in the last 20 years.
I think we are mistaken to think that throwing more money at education is the solution. It's more complex than that, and requires a complete overhaul of how we teach now, because it should not be the same as it was 75 years ago.
