Now that the Ford govt is directly running the OCDSB with a "supervisor" instead of trustees, and replaced the director of education, they are pushing Google Gemini into schools. "AI resources for students" is at the top of the resource list in today's communication from the OCDSB.

Of course, I have no way of complaining as a parent, since there is no trustee, and the director of Ed and Supervisor will hide like the fucking partisan PC cowards they are

Have I mentioned how much I love the #Ottawa Mastodon community? Cause I do. Early birb site vibes, but it’s November 2025.

That’s it. That’s my review.

Hey Ontario! You've heard of the disastrous Ford bill to destroy tenant rights, but did you know that Omnibus Bill 60 would entirely wipe out the ability of cities to right-size their roads by reducing lanes _at all_, not even just for bike lanes?

If you care about fewer people dying on Ontario roads, the environment and transit, or even just getting where you want to go efficiently (more lanes doesn't mean better traffic flow! Often, exactly the opposite via induced demand), you should care about this provision.

A friend called Ford's office this morning and the staffer answering didn't have any idea what provision they were referring to - that means not nearly enough people know about this proposal and are making it known that this is unacceptable.

Give your MPs and Ford's office a call, eh about Bill 60's threat to municipal control over their streets and transportation infrastructure, eh?
