School boards and post-secondary institutions have been bankrupted by design, just like the hospital system.

York University will be putting a private med school in the Vaughan healthcare precinct, with Mob Hospital as the hub.

This is now confirmed-

York University, under guidance from the same company University of Alberta hired after our own provincial government cuts, is suspending admission to 18 programs.

The women and gender studies program at York is arguably one of the best in the world.

Is the United States still part of “the West”? Is it surrendering if Russia and the United States are on the same side?
These aren’t pedantic questions. How we categorize the US will determine how we respond to its descent into authoritarianism.
Furthermore, in approaching the negotiation for a peace deal, Trump/the West had the upper hand— 🇷🇺 under heavy sanctions, loosing troops, frozen frontlines, not making any progress, etc.

Instead of using that to the West & Ukraine’s advantage, he surrendered to Putin & handed him the upper hand
Trump could have pushed for an end to the war in Ukraine without becoming actively hostile to Ukraine. Instead, he has imbibed Putin’s lies. Have written about the emergence of a new US/Russia axis, where it comes from and the staggering implications for Europe.

This is a really good response. It also differentiates his vision from Poilievre's.

"I think there are many differences between our 2 great nations. One of them is Canada is a mosaic. The US is a melting pot. Canada puts greater weight on social services, on healthcare, on protecting each other."
Well worth watching @MarkJCarney explain to a US audience his view of the clear differences between Canada & US - and his critical point that if the US has changed its priorities with respect to Canada, Canadians are resolved to going forward on our own.

Toronto’s acting medical officer of health said the province’s plan to close half the city’s supervised consumption sites for drugs will be deadly for the city — and costly for the health care system.

“These facilities save lives, connect people to social services and are pathways to treatment."
Doug Ford’s plan to slash drug consumption sites in half is deadly, costly says Toronto’s top doctor
The report also highlights the impact that closing half the city’s sites would have on emergency services and hospitals.

Ford's insider favours at Ontario Place are even worse than we feared. Ontarians should NOT be directly subsidizing an Austrian spa corporation. Add your name if you agree at www.kristynwongtam.ca/OntarioPlace
