Every year the operating budget increase for school boards is smaller than inflation. This is not news, but it is good to see the independent Financial Accountability Office of Ontario confirm what many have been saying www.thestar.com/politics/ont...

Ontario’s education funding per student is decreasing after inflation, watchdog finds
The government says Financial Accountability Office of Ontario’s figures don’t provide the full picture.

I think it's ill-advised and anti-democratic to introduce an omnibus bill, cite a crisis, and rush major changes to labour and environmental law. It's going to provoke aggressive resistance and risks, ironically, slowing down the projects the government is so keen on. It's going to be a huge mess.

New research from Proton finds 87% of top Canadian companies depend on US tech companies. For governments, it’s even worse: 100% of federal, provincial, and territorial governments rely on US companies for email. As Canada turns away from the US, major institutions need to cut that reliance.

If ANYONE thinks privatizing "infrastructure" is a good thing, just ask why the "private" 407 is THE MOST EXPENSIVE TOLL ROAD in North America. That is the future once you privatize Taxpayers paid to build it Corps get it for pennies on the $$ Taxpayers pay AGAIN to use it Corps rake in the profits

We need to do a much better job in Canada of protecting children from the commercialization of their activity online. Social media can have real negative effects on children and we need to regulate what companies can and can't do when children are involved.

The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs. Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too. Luckily, I have a guide for that.

Getting off US tech: a guide
I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

It was great to share my thoughts with The Local on how the past year has raised serious questions about funding decision-making, and the role of local voices in our schools! Follow the link to read the whole article: thelocal.to/tdsb-catholi...
The article by the local reads “De Dovitiis acknowledged he is uncertain whether the province even will let trustees back at the board, which was put under supervision in June 2025. But if it does, even in a reduced role, he said trustees will have an opportunity to call out what he sees as the province's contradictions. "They've had a year to fix things, and we get to show the public that they didn't know what they were doing, and that the real solutions are much more difficult and require funding," he said.
The provincially-appointed supervisor Rohit Gupta has reduced the TDSB's 2026-27 spending by $59.5 million to produce a $3.6-billion budget, according to a board report. But it still projects a relatively modest deficit of $15 million.
As part of its cuts, the TDSB eliminated some 218 central staff positions this spring, and it's expected to cut nearly 800 jobs this fall. De Dovitiis points out that none of these decisions were made openly. "The
worst thing labout] supervision has been the secrecy,"
