How do weasels like this get to power? Overwhelming corruption, sure.

But, all the people who let slide, every small deceitful thing he did, one after the next, letting him get into this dangerous position.

Everyone needs to speak up and shut down people like this. Catch it early.

“The province’s recent sidelining of trustees at four boards is not about improved governance. It is about erasure. Erasing local democratic governance severs the link between schools & communities & undermines accountability to the public.” www.thetrillium.ca/opinion/opin... #onted #onpoli #topoli

OPINION: Renewal of school boards needed, not removal of trustees

Four former directors of education argue that instead of eliminating school trustees, a review of the mandate and operations of school boards ‘could be beneficial’

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Mixed feelings last night for the #CanMNT - they suffered a frustrating 1-0 loss to 🇦🇺 off a sloppy mistake, but also controlled large swaths of the game

Of course, as we know, control =/= dominance, and Canada were let down by their play in the final third as they continue to struggle vs low blocks
