I kind of need to know now, what the fuck is going on in Ontario with their interpretation of Human Rights and Discrimination. What I do know is that we do not solve present day discrimination by race, by MORE discrimination by race. This bizarre Kafkaesque excerpt from the C2C

Constitutions are in the news these days. More perhaps in Alberta than the rest of the country because of Premier Danielle Smith’s separatist manifesto the Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act. The Act has met harsh criticism from a range of interests, from the business community to First Nations.

Any lesson plan that includes a section called “Critical Consciousness” is an immediate red flag. This is the groundwork being put in place to drive deeper the wedge of identity politics in our society via our children. The goal of all CRT is not education, but rather, the creation of

There are things going on. From absurd numbers of kids home sick from school, to the Grey Cup going on today in Regina. The most vocal civilian critic of the SaskParty’s support of abusive religious schools (who were teaching dinosaurs were around with Creationist people), had their home vandalized with

“The government blinked,” read the CBC headline. The Ontario Minister of Education Stephen Lecce confirmed that his government will repeal Bill 28 “in its entirety.” He was referring of course to the infamous legislation that imposed a contract on 55,000 CUPE education workers while banning strikes and invoking the Charter’s

Last week the Conservative Ontario government did what was previously unthinkable in Canada: take away charter rights from people who work. This unprecedented act was met with widespread opposition from unions coast to coast as the Conservatives made it clear that collective bargaining (like NHL and MLB players have) will

Presently in Ontario the Conservative governemnt has used “the nuclear option” to take away rights from workers. Not going to lie: it’s really bad, like Canadian Charter of Rights are no longer relveant bad. The union the government is picking on is primarily made up of women and many of

What the fuck is going on in Ontario education? Where are the professional standards and common sense? How is this even a thing? Score one for the kids on this one, they can tell that something abnormal is going on here. This is deviant behaviour has no fucking place in

The following is a journal of a cross-Canada trip by electric vehicle this summer. I was going to add more photos, maybe I will someday. July 30th, 2022 – Left Regina in a Kona 2022 Electric vehicle, on our way to Ottawa. The first time charging it was in Whitewood,

The massive decline in hospital beds in Ontario since the early 1990s is, by now, well known. Less well known is that hospital beds per capita have continued to decline since, at least, 2010. This chart excludes Neonatal ICU beds and bassinets. CIHI does not report data, in this case, for

When Doug Ford took over control of the Ontario Conservative Party, a lot of people expected the worst. He seemed to have just lucked in to a Liberal government dead on its feet and a Conservative party rebuilt by Patrick Brown. Many (including me) thought of him as something of

It’s Election Day in Ontario, so if you’re in the province go practice some democratic action. Basically every party is trying to make the province better except for the one in power, so go vote for anybody else. Last election the planet-destroying and inequality increasing Conservatives won with a minority

There’s a lot of palaver on social media about right v. left (or left v. right if you are so inclined), with webs of comments about the differences between these opposing political wings. And, at least among the comments I’ve read from Americans, there’s also a lot of misinformation and

This is an example of police state behaviour, and Ford should be punished. First Doug Ford hides from the media, now his staff have them arrested. This should never happen in a free society.#TheChoiceIsYours #onpoli https://t.co/9KXnq1tJ6x — Steven Del Duca (@StevenDelDuca) May 26, 2022

Canada’s most populous province goes to the polls in a few weeks, and climate should be at the forefront of everyone’s mind. Politicians are talking about the increased costs of living, but they aren’t connecting that to the ruling Conservative Party’s anti-climate actions. Energy costs are up because they ended
