  • The previously unreported details were revealed in over 25,000 pages of records the district has disclosed over the course of a week since Aug. 26 after a yearslong legal fight with news outlets, including ProPublica and The Texas Tribune, which filed over 70 public information requests for the records in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.

    The documents should have been published in early August when school leaders and Uvalde County originally released requested records following a settlement with the news organizations. Rob Decker, an attorney representing the school district, admitted at a board meeting Aug. 25 that his office made “an error on our side” by only releasing a fraction of the files. Board members, including Jesse Rizo, who lost his 9-year-old niece Jackie Cazares in the shooting, grilled Decker about the firm’s oversight.

    However, the district’s law firm may have again failed to disclose all of the requested information, according to Laura Prather, one of the attorneys representing the newsrooms in the records litigation. Prather sent a letter Friday demanding the district publish the remaining files, which could include details about the school maintenance issues with doors that failed to lock, Arredondo’s severance and additional communications among officials. Decker, the district’s lawyer, did not respond to requests for comment.

    The school district’s repeated disclosure problems mirror the mistakes made by the city of Uvalde last year, when officials there did not include at least 50 body- and dashcam videos in their first records release. They scrambled to disclose all of them months later.

  • When I was a kid growing up in Regina (60's-70's) there was a Co-op dept store we always shopped at. It sold groceries, housewares, clothing ... like everything that a WalMart superstore does, but the profits were shared.

  • Ps: it was intentional (ie: not accidental) by the auditor.

    He says he cross-examined the Vancouver-based auditor who would have had him travel the Don Valley Parkway at the height of rush hour, and she noted the CRA's rules for calculating distance don't make any allowance for time of day.

    The whole article is a tour de force and worth the read.

  • Years went by. I had two sons, and my beliefs became more entrenched. I stopped engaging in conversation with people on the other side of the debate—they treated me like I was a danger to society. No one listened. No one sat down with me and said, “I hear you, I understand your fears, but here’s what we know.” And you can’t have a productive conversation if one side is talking down and the other is emotionally cornered. There was never space for me to explain the root of my fear.

    So, I pulled closer to the people who treated me like I mattered. That’s how it starts. Not with a rejection of science, but with a crack in the trust. And, inevitably, someone else is there to fill the gap.

    That's about as honest an answer I've ever read.

  • In a social media post on Sunday, Atwood said since the literary classic is no longer suitable in Alberta’s schools, she has written a short story for 17-year olds about two “very, very good children” named John and Mary.

    “They never picked their noses or had bowel movements or zits,” she said in the beginning of her story.

    “They grew up and married each other, and produced five perfect children without ever having sex.”

    My gawd I love this woman! What a story!! 🤣🤣
