Have the Alberta Government not understand that the future trend of Learning is remote, globally. What kind of back-asswards government is in power currently on this day of October 23rd, 2022?
Do they have no intellect about the future trends and are they not with the current times? Is seems that the youths are not sharing information with the decision makers or the decision makers are not keeping up to speed with technology and modern times. Sounds like the Alberta government needs an upliftment from back in times to more modern times. Have Covid not teach them any lesson?
Athabasca University have put Alberta on the world map, with students worldwide participating in programs at all levels. and all over the world. Had it not been for this Athabasca University, II would not have even thought about Alberta as a province of Canada. Are they looking for help to bring people to live there by enforcing in-class studies and removing or lessoning remote studies, well good luck with that. There are so much world class universities that are hungry for us as students.
When leaders fail to accomplish their goals the tend to force situations that would help them remain in power and this move to bolster and boldly enforce an action shows lack of leadership. Some people have brains to get into power and when they do get into power, they lose all their brains and become puppets to others. Whatever it takes to remain in power they will do it, even if it means going against their own manifesto and promises to the people who voted them into power, they will do it. They will forsake anything, everything and everyone in their quest for power and remain employed.
It's a joke that politicians are game players, who don't care about the benefits but only focuses on the power struggle. The Alberta government seems to be thinking inside a black box, similar to the fish in an aquarium, where they cannot think outside the box. It is time to bring in more youths into government or other folks who can identify weaknesses and be more flexible to change. In this ever changing world of technology, losers and people who cannot or who deos not have the ability to change should be removed and replaced with stronger minded and people with a more futuristic mindset than those of older ones. Times have changed and will continue to change but it is our responsibility to put people who are qualified to lead us into the future, than to remain with the ones having the mindset of still riding donkeys for commuting.
