If that's what record setting oil production and a massively over budget pipeline on the federal dime feels like... Smith is a pansy knocked over by a gentle pat.
That's exactly what it is, bullying, by the principal; disgusting.
If they had legitimate grounds for a suspension they wouldn't have made intimidating comments. The principal wanted to punish the student but knew they had no legitimate reason and hoped the student would quietly acquiesce.

Here in BC Christy Clarke threw gasoline on the fire in 2016'ish and I watched condo prices jump 50% in months. I was lucky to have a condo to sell, but I also couldn't afford that same condo for the price I sold it. It's bonkers how much prices have gone up.
The NDP here has done something, if not enough.

But no one votes for those politicians 🤷
