If funding had kept up with inflation, no school boards would be in deficit. Instead, Ford is underfunding the TDSB by almost $200,000,000 per year while giving $350,000 to political insiders #ontario #onpoli #toronto #tdsb #frankdomenic🍁

Ford & co will probably pass #Bill33 this week because then can. We can use our voice to make sure PC MPPs that they are making a mistake on policy and politically. #onted #onpoli
I just spent the last hour leaving messages on the answering machines of Conservative MPPs with 50 new friends who care as deeply as I do about public education. Here are the MPP numbers in case you also want to leave a message on their answering machines: #OntEd docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

1.6 billion years old water found at the bottom of the Kidde Creek mine in Timmins Ontario by Canadian geologist Barbara Sherwood Lollar.

It takes an hour to get to the bottom of the mine, 2,377 m.

The Welland Canal system holds promise. Only 8% is private, another ⅓ is public but restricted probably for "operations safety", which is likely mitigable. Opportunity exists for the feds to partner with municipalities, and make huge local trail improvements for only a little capital cost.

There's such a spread of scale and character between the five systems that an averaging doesn't say much. The Welland River is half rural and has a significant share of private land. The other systems are mostly public with some chunk that is restricted for infrastructure or other facilities.

All these people posting anti-hate messages then advocating violence are actually part of the problem

Sorry not sorry

It is *not* a white supremacist talking point to not want violence. Period.

Violence is, and should always be, a last resort for after ALL other options have been exhausted.

Ben Franklin was right.

Since 2010, whenever I’d pass by the Big Apple in Colborne, Ontario, I’d note the number of apple pies sold. Just curious.

My kids are grown now and will text me the number any time they go through there, and their friends do too. Such a silly fun little thing we do.

Started at 3,288,637 pies.
