What do you mean “putting parents back in the DRIVER’S seat”? Do I get to decide what type of educational environment my children will thrive in? In that case, I want smaller classes, more teachers, more EAs and more educational support staff.

ICYMI: This week, the Doug Ford gov't ordered 4 municipalities— Waterloo, Wellington, Belleville, Peterborough —to sprawl into rural/farm land.
Sprawl is bad for climate as it ⬆️ car use & ⬇️ green spaces that mitigate floods

Gidimt’en Hereditary Chief Gisdaywa told me the RCMP raid on Gidimt’en Checkpoint last Weds was something RCMP ‘dreamt up to harass’ the land defenders. He’s sick of the invasion on Wet’su’wet’en territories; bluntly calls out Canada/CGL/RCMP & lays out the law of the land…@ricochet_en
You did such a great job defending this novel and reminding me why I loved it when I read it last summer@MichaelGreyeyes

The Ring of Fire is more than just a mining project – it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to unlock the full potential of our economy.
As we build EVs and batteries, we’re connecting critical minerals in the north with manufacturing in the south.

How much daily funding does @Sflecce’s claim work out to per student?
25 CENTS!
And that’s with rounding up.
How much mental health support did your child get for 25 cents today?

New Regulation dropped quietly by the Ontario government that fixes the dates of education collective agreement as a four year deal commencing Sept 1, 2022.

Last I checked mining is pretty bad for the environment and according to my reasearch manufacturing batteries is also emits a ton of Greenhouse gases. Then we have to consider the source of the electricity (coal, Nuclear) and the added burdan to that grid. Not green solution.
From #ElectricVehicles to smartphones, critical minerals like #nickel, #cobalt, and #lithium are essential to the technologies of the future.
That’s why we're investing in #mining exploration to help unlock our vast mineral resources and support job creation in Northern Ontario.

This talk was originally scheduled for late last month, but then our 3rd kid made an early appearance! It’s free and open to the public, so if you’re in Ottawa, come hang out. I’ll talk about how my family and community history guides the speculative fiction I try to write.
