The topic was the first that host Wayne Nelson raised during Saturday's show on CHQR and CHED, and Kenney responded there was "clearly a breakdown" in how the judges assessed the essays, adding they "screwed up." Nelson had noted in the opening of the program that wh

When Megan Ansems received an email this spring from Nova Scotia's Department of Education and Early Childhood Development containing her teacher licence number, you might say she was excited.
