23 cents per student per day for mental health, and the government’s solution is “centralization.” How about funding support instead? Our kids deserve more than talking points.

In case anyone is paying attention, Ford has declared war on public education (all levels, including colleges), so he fits into this club.

When Hitler declared war on the universities there was an exodus of researchers.
The American "century" benefited from the influx of great thinkers.
Trump's war on American universities is the end of that century.
Canada's century has begun.

Last thing I want in Niagara Falls is more casinos, or Fords ghastly Vegas North plan.

Just get us regular, good GO *train* service to Niagara Falls/St. Catharines.

We also don’t need a bigger airport. Better transit to Hamilton airport or more direct from Burlington to Pearson.

This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Enough is enough.” The quoted tweet from @DrewPavlu stating: “AUSTRALIAN HERO TOOK GUN OFF SHOOTER “TERROR ATTACK SYDNEY AT LEAST 10 DEAD “AUSTRALIAN HERO TOOK DOWN GUNMAN”
