As a Canadian I cannot even believe you have to have this conversation and Bev54 May 2022 #2

Here is what I am not confused about, you are making excuses and accepting Bev54 May 2022 #12
Is that what I'm doing? And it's not just your interpretation? ancianita May 2022 #13

Prevention is not a bandaid if prevention makes the schools areas of safety in communities. ancianita May 2022 #31
