Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

One of the key statements is that “She was NOT elected”. If a premier resigns, and a new one is appointed, this should trigger an IMMEDIATE election……
Funny. Can’t help but notice that it comes from Toronto.
peterj – Actually, no it comes from a small town on the eastern edge of the GTA
“How much of the curriculum should be mandatory and how much should be voluntary?”
In a government school, there are only so many resources for certain subjects. Thus it isn’t possible to mandate all kids take wood shop, auto shop, whatever. So allowing students to take these subjects as electives vs mandatory subjects makes sense, according to their interest. Other subjects (English, Math, Science) are more core subjects, and needed by all students at some level or another: knowing how to change your oil is good, but not as functionally important as learning math fundamentals or understanding how to communicate. Mandating trades-oriented subjects on girls or the opposite on boys smacks of more useless liberal social re-engineering.
Forcing “gender studies” on students, if that is the aim, is much more insidious and useless than mandating tech subjects for girls or Home Ec for boys. Given the choice, someone’s daughter is much better served if forced to understand a bit of auto shop, vs someone’s son learning the importance of lesbianism in society.
Don’t get me wrong: I think lesbians are great! But come ON.

‘stop OISE now’ @ 7:25 p.m.: “The multi gender sex ed program commencing in Grade One, years prior to puberty, is,without question, emotional and psychological child abuse. Parents and citizens need the curriculum mailed to them immediately for review and evaluation.”
It is child abuse. The whole curriculum sounds like the work of a cult, like Scientology. We should all use that word “cult” frequently when discussing this.
In Russia / “Soviet Union”, despite decades of propaganda, many people continued to use their own judgment with regards to what was true and what was not. The good news is that this will happen here too.
What we really need is the separation of school and state, in the same way and for the same reasons as the separation of church and state. The principle is identical. To begin with: education vouchers.
