I was awake for that, absolutely a huge moment.

Ontario’s Housing Minister Paul Calandra joined “Toronto Today” to announce new changes in housing regulations for cities, towns, & post-secondary institutions. We also talked about the problematic growth of tents/homeless in cities & suburbs.

My usual question….

The two youths - should they get to go right back home & await trial…or is there another option? They stabbed someone to steal the car….allegedly.

She asked about his “competence”.

He answered about his “confidence”.

The anchor at the end…”I think everybody has different feelings on O.J.”……they kinda don’t???

Really close to a massive moment - I was 8 and remember how late at night it was. BUT…the next day at school, a girl ran out of the room crying as we talked about it. Name withheld!

Top 10 “where was I” news story moments for me 1980-forward:

6. OJ verdict
7. Challenger explosion
8. Live Aid
9. Bush/Gore 2000 election
10. Oct 7 Hamas terror

Thanks to Matt Goodwin for the chat re: the #CassReport -

1. We need to lower the toxicity on topics like these, especially when data is presented.
2. Massive distinction between guidance for 11-12 year olds, & what we provide/enable for adults.

Disturbing story....& from convos I have had tonight, there's more to it.

If you're a York Region teacher (I don't expect anyone at the public school to reach out), please DM me - just a question, & I'm keeping our convo in confidence, as always.

This is a touching & important read & she says the things we need to keep saying &, sadly, be reminded of. Our leaders aren't exactly leading as they should.

Preach on…..

Dudes smoking it up…HARD…before they work out….explain this new thing, please.

🎯 🎯 🎯- said the same every damn day

Justin Trudeau is only testifying for 75 minutes? This is why we get few outcomes.

Ronald Reagan’s Iran/Contra testimony in Feb ‘90 was EIGHT hours in LA. He was 79. He said “I don’t remember” or “I don’t recall” 88 times in 8 hours. At least he couldn’t run the clock.

This is a real indictment that Trudeau heard about Dong’s irregularities in 2019…& had no issue running him again in 2021. MPs & MPPs get iced out all the time from running again for far, far less, & strategic reasons (too old, too outspoken, not outspoken enough in riding!).

Lather, rinse, repeat. You can imagine the frustration of law enforcement officers handling something so heinous knowing the alleged assailant should have been kept out of the public realm. Ron Chhinzer

Most would concur re: Dong’s beyond stunning lack of awareness, safe to say.

TY Greg Brady for the chat in response to this Toronto Star article . We serve on the Board of Trustees to provide opportunities to students and a welcoming environment to learn in. American style, right wing politics has no place at the @tcdsb

As they should be. A 10 year mandatory prison sentence? Who says no?
