Thousands protest Ontario government’s controversial education changes | CBC News

Thousands of educators from across Ontario descended on Queen’s
Park on Saturday to protest impending changes to the province’s
education system.

The rally was organized by members from five
different teachers’ unions. Demonstrators, some from as far away as
Sudbury, Ont., arrived to Toronto in more than 150 buses. They were
joined by large groups of parents, students and school board trustees.

Are we really okay with Jason Kenney? – Macleans.ca

Since
the writ has dropped, I have been slow to write about what has become a
clear and malignant “bozo eruption” problem within the United
Conservative Party. Other media outlets and columnists are already
offering reporting and insight into the numerous examples of UCP
candidates who have publicly offered dodgy, racist, or homophobic
comments in various fora. UCP leader Jason Kenney appears to have
promptly dropped every problematic candidate and nominee to date.

But Jason Kenney’s disastrous
interview with radio talk show host Charles Adler on Wednesday night was
uncomfortable, and even disturbing to listen to. It warrants
dissection.

Trudeau drowned out by hecklers at Toronto funding announcement

Trudeau was in Scarborough, in the city’s east end, to announce a $1.3-billion partnership with Toronto to renovate more than 58,000 Toronto Community Housing units.

Through the agreement, the federal government will contribute $530 million directly and another $810 million in loans over a decade.

As Trudeau took the podium, he could barely be heard over the hecklers.

National magazine covers reinforce Justin Trudeau’s political problems

For the second straight month, Maclean’s magazine has come out with a cover reinforcing the story that Justin Trudeau wants to get off the front pages.

This time, the two former cabinet ministers expelled from the Liberal caucus—Jane Philpott and Jody Wilson-Raybould—appear side-by-side with the headline “Truth and Justice”.

Inside, readers can learn more about why the two politicians disagree with the prime minister’s office repeatedly raising the prospect of a deferred prosecution agreement for SNC-Lavalin.

The current cover stands in sharp contrast to last month’s Maclean’s cover, which showed a smiling prime minister being branded as “The Imposter”.
