  • Ontario Acting to Combat Antisemitism in Schools
    From: Ontario News <[email protected]> Sent: July 5, 2021 11:36 AM Subject: Ontario Acting to Combat Antisemitism in Schools NEWS RELEASE Ontario Acting to Combat Antisemitism in Schools Province’s Partnership with Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies will Fight Hate and Discrimination July 05, 2021 Ministry of Education TORONTO — The Ontario government is investing in a plan to counter rising antisemitism in Canadian schools and communities. As part of this plan, the government announced new training initiatives and resources for educators and supports for students to combat antisemitism with an investment of $327,000. According to Statistics Canada, the number of police-reported incidents in Canada targeting the Jewish population in 2019 was 296, the largest number of any religious group. Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education, joined by Robin Martin, MPP for Eglinton-Lawrence, and Gila Martow, MPP for Thornhill, made the announcement with the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies. “Antisemitism is a scourge and historic evil that must be eradicated from our schools, from our communities, and from the hearts of all Canadians,” said Minister Lecce. As part of the Safe Return to Class fund, the Ontario government is providing the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies with $327,000 to support two summer learning programs: • The ‘Unpacking Intolerance: Equity and Diversity Training for Educators’ program, which will provide professional development sessions to help educators learn about dismantling systems of oppression and antisemitism in homes, schools and communities. • The ‘Tour for Humanity Virtual Summer Camp,’ which will help students learn about human rights, dealing with injustice, and encourage ideas for creating positive change.

  • Hon. Ross Romano Minister of Colleges and Universities Ministry of Colleges and Universities 5Th Floor, 438 University Ave Toronto, on M7A 2A5 October 22, 2020
    Hon. Ross Romano Minister of Colleges and Universities Ministry of Colleges and Universities 5th Floor, 438 University Ave Toronto, ON M7A 2A5 October 22, 2020 Dear Minister Romano, I am contacting you on behalf of the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA), which represents 17,000 faculty and academic librarians across the province. We are alarmed that your government is intending to discreetly pass legislation that would allow the Canada Christian College to call itself a “university” and award degrees. Broadly, we are concerned about emerging efforts to privatize postsecondary education in Ontario and to give private institutions degree-granting privileges that will undermine the quality and accessibility of postsecondary education in Ontario. This is especially evident in the case of Canada Christian College where Charles McVety, who runs the college, openly holds deeply rooted Islamophobic, transphobic, and homophobic views. McVety has been embroiled in several controversies resulting from his discriminatory beliefs. We will not repeat any of his bigotry in our letter; it is well documented. The Ontario government should not grant accreditation and degree-granting privileges to institutions that do not meet the anti-discriminatory and anti-hate speech principles outlined in the Ontario Human Rights Code. It is imperative that the government protect religious minorities, the queer community, and other marginalized groups. At the very least, the government should do no harm. Allowing the Canada Christian College to call itself a “university” and to award degrees in our province would most certainly harm these marginalized communities and allow hateful and discriminatory speech to persist. Your Ministry must change course on this urgent matter.

    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report March 11, 2019 Quotation of the day “Doug Ford has been ducking work and ducking accountability.” NDP MPP Catherine Fife criticizes the premier for being MIA in question period more than half ​ ​ of the time since December. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule MPPs are in their ridings for the March Break constituency week. The House is adjourned until Monday, March 18. Premier watch This weekend Premier Doug Ford hit up a youth-focused roundtable discussion with ​ ​ Mississauga-Malton MPP Deepak Anand and visited IBM Canada’s headquarters in Markham. ​ ​ Ford trumpeted his government’s work to make Ontario “open for business” and “life more affordable for university and college students” on his social media feeds. But NDP MPP Catherine Fife says the premier has been “ducking work and ducking ​ ​ accountability” over the Ron Taverner controversy, pointing out Ford was MIA for 11 of 18 ​ ​ question periods since December.

  • “As a Straight, White Man — Wait, Not White.”
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report February 6, 2020 Quotation of the day “As a straight, white man — wait, not white.” Liberal leadership candidate Alvin Tedjo, who is of Asian descent, makes a quip about using ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ fellow contender Steven Del Duca’s speaking notes during the party’s LGBTQ forum. ​ ​ Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The house will reconvene on Tuesday, February 18, 2020. In the park The Ontario Autism Coalition will stage a “freeze-in” to protest the Ford government’s delay in implementing a needs-based autism program. Families and advocates will march on the legislature’s south lawn and stand still for five minutes at 11:30 a.m. Coronavirus scare shines light on need for public health funding: NDP The Opposition and government traded barbs over concerns about the coronavirus at Queen’s Park on Wednesday. That’s despite the latest update from provincial health officials that there are no new cases beyond the three previously confirmed, and as the number of cases under investigation continued to drop this week. NDP Leader Andrea Horwath held a press conference to call on the PCs to reverse future ​ ​ funding cuts to public health, while Health Minister Christine Elliott’s office fired back that ​ ​ Horwath was trying to “score political points.” “Ontario’s expert public health officials have been unanimously clear: Ontario is prepared to effectively respond to the 2019 novel coronavirus, something Andrea Horwath herself acknowledged,” Elliott’s spokesperson Travis Kann said in an email statement. ​ ​ Kann added that public health officials have briefed the NDP three times on the matter in order to ensure all MPPs are informed and “to demonstrate that the health and safety of Ontarians is and always should be above politics.” Horwath did admit Ontario’s response to the outbreak has been “outstanding” but stressed that “we need to keep it that way.” She urged the PCs to cancel planned funding cuts and asked the government to review public health resources in order to keep Ontarians safe in the future.
