Christy Clark’s approach to labour relations vis-à-vis the B.C. teachers has been a lesson in puerility, i.e., an example of how to govern this province foolishly because of a deficiency in managerial skills.
After frittering away the summer, the Liberals were finally forced by the weight of public opinion to get off their collective butts and negotiate in good faith. Clark’s ham-fisted government must now pay for the administration of the boondoggle known as the Temporary Education Support for Parents.
Shelling out $40 to the parents of qualifying children for each school day lost is another example of Liberal incompetence.
This program was nothing more than a political ploy to appease the affected parents, i.e., partisan bureaucratic inefficiency at its worst.
If you are wondering why parents and children have had to endure all this inconvenience, uncertainty and stress, the answer is contained in the word puerility.
If you have the need for a derisive chuckle or two, watch Christy Clark try to spin her perverted version of events.
