NEW: As a legislative committee met to study bill 101, which waters down the role of school board trustees, Education Minister Paul Calandra began grilling union leaders about his own legislation, leading to criticism that he was “rude,” “disrespectful,” and “inappropriate.” globalnews.ca/news/11819190/… #onpoli
Runway at Billy Bishop could need up to 900 metres of new landmass for jets, agency says theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
Deficits? Doubled. Carbon taxes? Hiked and re-named. New rhetoric. Ignore the illusions, Mark Carney is just another Liberal.
“But Mr. Steenstra said he expects that most of the added landmass for the longer runway area – up to 750 metres of it – would jut out into Lake Ontario from the western end. That would see the runway parallel the shoreline of Ontario Place, where Mr. Ford’s government has plans for a spa and waterpark, science centre and expanded concert venue.” Totally unserious government being lobbied by totally unserious people. We’re spending $4 Billion at Ontario Place as a major waterfront destination just to put a landing strip next to it? The reason the province is setting out to take over the entire Toronto islands is because this plot isn’t going to physically work. I like flying from Billy Bishop, as do many others. But come on now.
The Media's Silence Is the Story - Pierre Poilievre told CTV that Mark Carney owns Brookfield and refuses to pay his taxes in Canada. Neither claim is true. The silence that followed tells us something important about our politics. #cdnpoli queergranddad.substack.com/p/the-medias-s…

📢📢📢 255,000 teachers and education workers unite in province-wide action this week! On April 29, more than 255,000 #ETFO, @AEFO_ON_CA, @OECTAProv, @osbcucscso, and @osstf members will participate in a Province-wide Day of Action. This coordinated effort represents a powerful show of unity among Ontario’s teachers and education workers at a time when publicly funded education continues to face significant challenges. Teachers and education workers will come together to visually signal their support and demand for investments in publicly funded education. Across Ontario, union members will wear red and purple as part of the Red for Ed and Power of Purple movements. This collective action will demonstrate that teachers and education workers are united in calling for improved learning and working conditions in our schools and universities. Momentum is building. We invite families and other community allies to join us in calling for meaningful investment and a genuine commitment to student success and well-being.

Watch: Ontario's Education Minister Paul Calandra grills education stakeholders over his own legislation. "You can't silence somebody just because they happen to be a cabinet minister," Calandra told me. #onpoli
