C'est une très belle journée pour tous les francophones en Ontario. Après plusieurs demandes à travers les années, votre nom sera enfin bien épelé sur votre permis de conduire émis par le gouvernement. #onpoli

@ColinDMello Breaking up the enforcement of trucking driving training schools between both MCURES and MTO is one of the causes of this lack of oversight or rather this blind spot that is created. Put the governance and enforcement of the schools under one ministry. As a starting point.

@AviBenlolo Have you raised this with the president of the school? Happy to help out.

Perhaps the best budget tradition at Queen’s Park, the pages delivering the document at record speed to MPP’s.

Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy said, despite all the red ink, he would have preferred to run a smaller deficit and balance the budget sooner.

Raising the question, who's driving the bus?

@NoLore Actually they have every right to decide how their donations are spent. If someone doesn’t like what an institution is doing then they can stop giving to that institution. Actions have consequences.

Our government is extending its contract with Alstom to operate and maintain GO Transit and UP Express fleets.

We’re protecting Ontario workers and supporting the safe, reliable transit service riders depend on as we expand transit across the region.

@ColinDMello Hold boards accountable and hold those in the profession accountable.

[Ari Laskin @arilaskin]

@ColinDMello If we want to see real changes here then stop white washing issues. We have teachers that refuse to learn how to teach math skills that our students need, yet are shielded by boards of education that refuse to enforce these changes. EQAO is a measure not a teaching method…

@NewsInContext1 @ShamjiAdil @OntScienceCtr In the case of universities you cannot spend like drunken sailors and when the tap is turned down complain. Professors have an obligation to teach relevant courses, if there is no market for a course it should be terminated. Pretty simple equation here.

[Ari Laskin @arilaskin]

@NewsInContext1 @ShamjiAdil @OntScienceCtr Hospitals and universities are not out of funds they are rightsizing an out of control system that has played off this narrative. Nurses are being trained at record numbers, universities are realizing that post secondary education is a privilege and not a right.

@RabbiMivasair No “Rabbi” David looking at their “constitution” and stated goal they have actively called for the elimination of Yihoodi wherever they are that’s called genocide. Don’t be so stupid. And stop calling yourself a rabbi when you are nothing more than a Kapo

If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.

@barbarismcrit We are only seeing your blatant antisemitism in full forum with your comment.

[Ari Laskin @arilaskin]

@VerminusM @DaithiDoolan Pretty much says what you need to know about Ireland.

@TorontoCen4Pal @globeandmail If the shoe fits.

[Ari Laskin @arilaskin]

@SirJohnSamsa @MichaelWestBiz Please do tell me what amounts to genocide here? A nation protecting its own people from terrorism is the opposite of genocide it is survival. Real genocide is taking place in Sudan, yet nothing to talk about there. No Jews no News. That should be the motto of @MichaelWestBiz.

@mohamadfakih8 @LenaMetlegeDiab We don’t need more international students flooding our colleges and universities. We need more Canadians to attend these institutions and not be pushed away for higher tuitions from intenational students. And no I don’t think taxpayers should be on the hook to fund their tuition.

[Ari Laskin @arilaskin]

@Jessa_McLean So basically you’re calling for violent action?

[Ari Laskin @arilaskin]

@KavitaAlguMD @HMcPhersonNDP @CanBorder @rcmpgrcpolice @TPSOperations Check your facts. The event took place at a private place well off campus. Secondly, tell me again how he is a war criminal? Where are the charges? Third, your ignorance is quite alarming
