My school has ~400 students, 85% of whom speak a language other than English at home. Six years ago, my school was allocated 3 ELL teachers. Students in Gr. 2-8 received 40-150 minutes of language support a day, depending on their needs. This year, my school was allocated half a teacher. #OntEd

The federal government should "step in" how, exactly? Evrery year, they already tally up what provinces charged for private care, and deduct it from their next transfer payment. This is publicly reported. That's as much as the Canada Health Act allows them to do.

Health Canada produces an Annual Report on the Canada Health Act each fiscal year with information on Canada's federal health care insurance legislation and how it defines the national principles that govern the Canadian health care insurance system.

The oil industry is unwilling to pay for this pipeline because even they know the world is moving away from fossil fuels. This project leaves Canadians bearing all the risks of a bad investment without any of the rewards.
