Is Ontario’s education system too old school? The Ford government plans a revamp of how boards are run

This is the death knell for Ontario School Board Trustees. These parent support offices (which every board will now have, not just the supervised ones) have been put in place after other jurisdictions eliminated Trustees. www.thestar.com/politics/pro... #topoli #onpoli #onted
New parent ‘support offices’ ordered for Ontario school boards, raising questions about future of trustees
The new offices will open this January in the Toronto public and Catholic boards and the three other boards under provincial supervision.

Doug Ford Is Trying to Control How Universities Operate | The Local
Ontario’s Bill 33 mandates merit-based admissions and gives the province unprecedented power over university and college operations. Is it part of a broader right-wing crackdown on campuses?

Doug Ford chooses to spend billions of our tax dollars on building a highway for his friends, parking lots for private spas and getting booze into gas stations before an election, but he won’t ensure our kids have AC at school. Please don’t fall for the Captain Canada BS.

The occupation of Iraq was justified through same rhetoric we hear now about Iran: weapons of mass destruction, saving women & queers, clash of civilizations etc
the task of anti-imperialist left is not to litigate the veracity of these allegations, but to refuse racist premise for imperialist war

As someone said prior, the only reason Greta got released is because people were very loud about her specifically. There are still 8 other flotilla members detained, apparently without fresh water in bedbug infested prison. They all deserve to be fought for, too.
Guys, please talk about Thiago Avila.
He's the Brazilian activist on Freedom Flotilla kidnapped by Israel. He's still detained and has been doing a hunger and water strike since yesterday early morning. There have been reports of unsanitary conditions too.
Please talk about him.

When we talk about "community safety," the narrative is that homeless people are dangerous. Mario Ferreira, a homeless senior, wasn't a threat to anyone as he slept peacefully on a bench. And now he's dead — a victim of an unprovoked, violent attack. globalnews.ca/news/1109238...

A joint study with ICES found that trans and gender-diverse (TGD) people hospitalized for psychiatric care were less likely to receive follow-up care.
These findings suggest that transphobia is discouraging people from seeking care & offers ways to improve the hospital experience for TGD people.

“DEI” being another way of not having to talk about anti-blackness is pretty infuriating. So many opportunities to properly engage this linguistic obfuscation when the right went after “critical race theory,” “woke,” and “affirmative action,” but nope not really.
Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.
