I realize that our collective memory is shorter than a fruit fly's, but have we forgotten that in 1988 the u.s. shot down an Iranian civilian plane and killed hundreds of people?

Doug Ford eyeing filling in part of Lake Ontario for new convention centre Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he’s exploring the idea of filling in part of Lake Ontario to add land for a new convention centre site at the Toronto waterfront.

I dunno, I imagine that there are logistical and/or environmental concerns?
And also, why does everything need to be on the Lake??

Itβ€˜s the provincial govt job to dictate curriculum, so it’s not the issue β€” it’s about funding supports to deliver that curriculum, in addition to all the other services that students need, to be provided by schools.

Education is an essential social service, not a β€œbusiness.

The government of Ontario measures efficiency by β€œvalue” for their dollar πŸ’° β€” I guess I think that parents, teachers, students, and the gov. are not on the same page.

I disagree.
I am careful to limit my digital footprint β€” I don’t post personal info nor photos.
I DEFINITELY do not want my, or my child’s, face all over social media.
Internet images are accessible to everyone, to do whatever they want with them. They're permanent.

For Martha Hradowy, president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federa- tion, "it is deeply concerning that the gov- ernment continues to place school boards under supervision and appoint government insiders and private sector advisers instead of people who understand how public education
actually works."

Certainly many of the school boards have not been as efficient/ effective as they should be, but these people have no backgrounds in education β€” I don’t see how these takeovers will improve the situation in schools.

More and more it’s looking like a β€œpower grab”. 🀨

The federal government has signaled that it will soon release a new β€˜National Electricity Strategy’. Building more renewables, supporting communities and upgrading our grids is exactly what we need right now. Here’s what this strategy could mean for you, 1 of 5 🧡

Saving humanity requires systemic change The world can provide enough for everyone, but too many greedy people are hoarding wealth and resources and destroying natural life-support systems to accumulate more money and power.

β€œA big part of the problem is that we measure β€œprogress” by how quickly everything increases, from population to profit.”
