What’s unfolding at the Peel District School Board points to real dysfunction and a widening systemic disconnect between the board and the front lines. Minister @PaulCalandra did the right thing to take over this board. The numbers tell the story and they demand accountability.
While classrooms are in chaos and front-line staff are being cut, this board spends over $13 MILLION on HR alone, approves $80K+ raises for senior leadership, and continues to expand management layers. (All the details are in this video)
Unions say layoffs moved forward without trustee input.
Trustees remained silent.
Parents and taxpayers deserve to know where public education dollars are going and who they’re really serving.

Go ahead and boo.
But while Mitch Marner is probably going to receive a nasty reception when he returns to Toronto on Friday, there might come a day when his No. 16 is raised to the rafters and fans are back to cheering his name. @TheHockeyNews

The Liberals have stopped updating public information regarding the number of people coming into Canada, as well as the number of removals. For example, illegal border crossers, temporary foreign workers, and asylum claimants.
Hmmm...why would the Libs hide these numbers? 🤔🤔
Confidential Brief to Canadians: My analysis of Mark Carney’s fiscal framework
I spent Easter weekend reading and analyzing Mark Carney’s proposed fiscal framework in detail. I hold an MBA in economics and finance, and before diving into the numbers, I also consulted with a few trusted economists. Together, we went through the plan with a fine-tooth comb.
Here’s what I found:
👇🏻
📉 Deficit-to-GDP ratio
Under this plan, the deficit-to-GDP ratio would rise by 65% by the final year. That’s a significant and concerning increase.
💸 Debt-to-GDP ratio
Based on my calculations, the debt-to-GDP ratio would hover around 42% throughout the entire horizon of the framework (42.4% in 2028–2029), instead of falling to 39.5% as the platform claims.
📈 Federal debt
Even factoring in the proposed savings, this plan would add $83 billion to the federal debt.
🧾 Claimed new revenues and savings: $52B
But here’s the issue:
👉🏻 $20B is projected to come from new tariffs, which carry serious risks of trade retaliation and economic slowdown.
👉🏻 $28B comes from so-called “government efficiency” — frankly, this is wishful thinking. That portion is almost entirely undocumented.
⚠️ Unrealistic ambition
Generating $28B in savings over 4 years, including $13B in the final year alone, is extremely ambitious. And frankly, it’s hard to believe — especially coming from a government proposing dozens of new programs with no plan to scale back its footprint in provincial jurisdictions.
❌ Politically invisible measures
What struck me most was the sheer number of measures in this budget that no voter will see or understand during the campaign.
Carney is tying his government’s hands with technical, behind-the-scenes commitments that are politically irrelevant. A puzzling choice.
🧮 New spending: $130B
The platform outlines $130 billion in new measures over four years, which would increase the federal debt by $225 to $250 billion.
🌍 Net-zero by 2029–2039
A laudable goal, but the plan excludes infrastructure spending from the operating budget.
✅ These costs won’t show up in the deficit
❌ But they will add directly to the debt
Yes, this mirrors the model used in Quebec’s Plan québécois des infrastructures (PQI). In theory, it can work — but only with strict oversight of capital investments. Otherwise, the debt will balloon far beyond projections.
⚠️ A credibility risk for Canada
An additional $250B in debt, combined with a stagnant debt-to-GDP ratio, will inevitably raise red flags with credit rating agencies.
It risks eroding confidence in the long-term fiscal viability of the plan — and of the government that implements it.
🔮 Overly optimistic assumptions
The framework is built on economic assumptions that are frankly unrealistic, in a context of:
👉🏻 potential economic slowdown triggered by tariffs
👉🏻 and unplanned increases in spending if a recession hits
🎯 Conclusion
If this plan is implemented, credit agencies — and markets — may very well lose confidence. Not just in the fiscal framework, but in the government itself.
Gordon Campbell just said what MILLIONS are feeling.
He’s voting for Pierre Poilievre — not for himself…
But for his grandchildren
For a unified🇨🇦
The🇨🇦that gave people a CHANCE
And he said it to Rosemary Barton’s face SHE tried to defend Liberals - HE WASNT HAVING ANY OF IT
Pierre Poilievre lays out his plan to CRUSH inflation:
Cut red tape
Slash bureaucracy
Lower taxes
Economists estimate it could unlock $500 BILLION in new growth.
The Liberal plan?
Explode the deficit and send inflation even HIGHER.
The difference couldn’t be more MASSIVE.
Wait… what?
Even CBC is questioning the Liberal platform —
Saying Canadians haven’t had enough time to ask important questions.
When CBC starts raising red flags…
You KNOW something’s off.
This is actually incredible.
