OSBA Update Page 1 To: OSBA Members From: Angus McKay, President Date: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 Subject: MCGUINTY CABINET SHUFFLE Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty continued rolling out his planned overhaul of the Ontario government yesterday, filling out the cabinet team with appointments to key portfolios of aggressive players who are likely to shake things up at the Premier's behest. Underscoring the theme of change was the demotion of three long-serving veterans and the elevation to cabinet of four new ministers. Change-oriented ministers are now in place in the key portfolios of Finance, Energy and Infrastructure, Transportation, Health and Education. Other change-agents are in place in several smaller ministries, as well. For the most part, steady-state managers are now either absent from the cabinet table or in minor portfolios. With his new team in place, the Government is poised to begin implementing the restructuring already prefigured in the Fall Economic Statement and heralded in the Premier's frequently-repeated old world/new world stump speech. Yesterday's shuffle is the first step of a likely three-step roll out, which will probably include a Speech from the Throne in late February or early March and certainly a watershed Budget at the end of that month. In this new environment of intense economic transformation, the government is turning for leadership from those who have shown an ability to undertake big projects and deliver radical – not incremental – change. Of McGuinty’s ten front-bench Ministers, more than half moved. Finance Minister Dwight Duncan, Health Minister Deb Matthews, Environment Minister John Gerretsen and Economic Development Minister Sandra Pupatello keep their portfolios. All are aggressive and change-oriented. · Brad Duguid will take on George Smitherman’s former portfolio of Energy and Infrastructure. Duguid, MPP for Scarborough Centre and a former Toronto City Councilor, was promoted from Aboriginal Affairs where he built a solid relationship with Ontario’s First Nations that will serve him well in locating new energy transmission and generation projects. In McGuinty’s first term, Duguid was a high profile Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Municipal Affairs, often serving as foil to the City of Toronto. He also helped steer the OMERS autonomy legislation through Parliament, assisted with the creation of the Greenbelt and the reform of the Ontario Municipal Board, Municipal Act and Planning Act. Duguid has a proven track record of managing big change. · Leona Dombrowsky ends six years in Agriculture with a move to Education. A former Chair of the Hastings- Prince Edward Separate School Board, and the daughter of a school bus operator, Dombrowksy was a highly active Environment Minister in McGuinty’s first term. She authored Ontario’s Clean Water Act, the Waste Diversion Act and brought in tough penalties for polluters. · Kathleen Wynne moves from Education to Transportation, a signal that Transport will be a file of increasing centrality to the McGuinty government. Entrenched interests in the GTA transportation community should expect a major shakeup. · Dean of the Legislature, Jim Bradley moves to Municipal Affairs. This supremely competent veteran will be tasked with calming budget-stressed mayors and reeves, putting out fires and lowering expectations. OSBA Update Page 1 The AG portfolio is highly specialized and is not a place for on-the-job learning. Attorney General Chris Bentley adds Aboriginal Affairs to his existing front-bench responsibilities, demonstrating the Premier’s continued confidence in his mastery of this difficult role. A number of junior Ministers take on new responsibilities as well. · Michael Chan moves to the twin portfolios of Tourism and Culture. Chan was highly respected in the Premier’s Office for his adroit handling of the complex New Canadian stakeholder issues in Citizenship, and gets to continue his work with an even wider array of interests in the new roles. He will likely also be forced to manage down a tighter budget in both roles. · Monique Smith takes the lead on Intergovernmental Affairs, as well as retaining her role as Government House Leader. Squabbles between the province over climate change are expected to erupt into more serious pan- Confederation battles later this year. · Gerry Phillips returns to his preferred role as Chair of Cabinet after substituting as Energy and Infrastructure Minister for the past two months. The Liberal statesman is highly regarded for McGuinty for his common sense and wisdom, but has made his disinclination for shouldering heavy responsibilities or managing massive change widely known. Solid veteran performers Donna Cansfield, Aileen Carroll and Ted McMeekin shifted to non-Cabinet responsibilities, making room for a new generation of MPPs taking leading roles at Queen’s Park. These four new faces are: 1. Hamilton Mountain MPP Sophia Aggelonitis, who will take on Ted McMeekin’s role as political minister for Hamilton, and the Consumer Services file. A former entrepreneur who marketed her own brand of “Sauces by Sophia” to supermarket chains in Southern Ontario, she chaired the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce before her election in 2007. 2. Dr. Eric Hoskins is an MD and a founder of War Child Canada who worked with the UN in war-torn regions. The Order of Canada recipient and Rhodes Scholar won a by-election in mid-town Toronto last year, and now will join Cabinet as Minister of Citizenship and Immigration. 3. Linda Jeffery becomes the Minister of Natural Resources. Jeffery has been a champion for fire safety in the Legislature, fighting successfully to have sprinklers mandatory in all new multi-unit residences over three stories. She served four terms on Brampton City Council, including serving as budget chief. She served as one of the lead negotiators on the sale of Brampton Hydro in 1999, and represented Brampton on the provincial Hydro One board. 4. Carol Mitchell joined Cabinet as Minister of Agriculture. The former Caucus Chair has represented Huron-Bruce since 2003. Before that, she was Warden of Huron County and ran her own chain of stores selling children’s clothing. She has served as Parliamentary Assistant in Agriculture, as well as Health and Municipal Affairs. We will continue to keep you updated with new developments and changes as this information in received. Yours truly, Angus McKay, President 1 Eva Road, Suite 304, Etobicoke, ON, M9C 4Z5 T: 416-695-9965 or 1-888-675-6722 F: 416-695-9977 E: [email protected] OSBA Update Page 2 .

    APPENDIX B CBSC Decision 11/12-1881 & -1942 CFRB-AM re comments made on The City with Mayor Rob Ford The Complaints The CBSC received a total of 64 complaints about this broadcast. Of those, 36 were provided with the opportunity to request a ruling (the remaining 28 either did not provide enough information to order copies of the broadcast or the complainants clearly had not actually heard the broadcast themselves). Of the 36 complainants who were given the opportunity to request a ruling, only 2 did so. Their complaints are reproduced here: File 11/12-1881 The CBSC received the following complaint on May 7, 2012: I am writing to complain about blatantly offensive language and comments used during Sunday, May 6th’s broadcast of The City with Mayor Rob Ford on CFRB 1010 of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, airing between 1PM and 3PM Eastern Standard Time. During this broadcast, Mayor Ford and his guests made several remarks that were quite offensive: - When referring to Daniel Dale, a Toronto Star reporter that Ford had recently had a run-in with, they said, “I’ve been told the Star purposely assigned their most effeminate reporter". - When referring to former mayoral front-runner George Smitherman, Menzies (the guest on the show), made a disgusting comment about his sexual orientation and linked this to HIV/AIDS: “Could you imagine if I was at that all-candidates meeting and I went to George Smitherman and I said, ‘You know what, George, being a practicing homosexual and the fact that you’ve been involved with all kinds of illicit drug use, how do we know you won’t engage in high-risk sex and drug use that will bring about HIV-leading-to-AIDS and you’ll die in office?’ I would be run out of town on a rail!” This type of behaviour is contrary to section VI, subsections 2, 3 and 4 of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters’ Equitable Portrayal Code, of which CFRB 1010 is bound to uphold as a member of the CBSC.

  • DRAFT Five Principles Open Letter
    c/o Mennonite Central Committee Ontario The Honourable Deb Matthews, MPP 50 Kent Ave. Minister of Health Kitchener, ON N2G 3R1 10th Floor, Hepburn Block 80 Grosvenor Street Toronto, Ontario M7A 2C4 March 25, 2010 Dear Minister Matthews, The decision the McGuinty government has taken to end the Special Diet Allowance for people on Ontario Works and the Ontario Disability Support Program has been interpreted as a disturbing signal about the degree to which government is committed to the goals of poverty reduction and the importance of protecting the human rights of people with disabilities. However, it also presents you with the opportunity to create a new program that will address the acknowledged shortcomings of the Special Diet Allowance program, while ensuring continuation of the important financial support it provides to people with documented health challenges. In light of the government's announcement that the Ministry of Health will be creating a replacement program for the Special Diet Allowance, we are writing to forward our proposal for Five Principles that should form the basis for this new program. The 25 in 5 Network and its partners, the ODSP Action Coalition and the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO), are circulating the enclosed Five Principles document to other partner organizations, individuals, and supporters. We trust that you will hear from many around the province who also believe that the new program must be based on these principles. Statements about the scope and mandate of the new program have been made by members of government that have led many to fear that people currently receiving Special Diet will no longer be adequately supported by our government.

  • Letter to Prime Minister Paul Martin, 29 September 2004
    September 29, 2004 The Right Honourable Paul Martin Prime Minister of Canada 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A2 RE: An Open Letter to Prime Minister Paul Martin Calling for the Cancellation of the Debts of the Poorest Countries. Dear Prime Minister, Perhaps more than any other G•7 leader, you are aware of the importance of debt cancellation for impoverished countries, and the failures of past strategies to address the debt issue. Despite important gains secured by current debt relief strategies, poor countries still spend more on debt service than on health and education. Countries in Africa continue to pay more for debt servicing than they receive in development assistance, and in most cases this amount is greater than their budgets for health and education combined. As you know, in the coming days the world's richest countries may be set to take a dramatic and necessary step to cancel the debt of some of the poorest countries. We call on the Government of Canada to ensure that the lessons of past efforts are incorporated in new plans, and that the political will is shown by G•7 leaders to ensure that poor countries are finally able to get off of the debt treadmill. We call on Canada to support the immediate and unconditional cancellation of 100% of the debts owed by all low•income countries to multilateral financial institutions; recognition that neither the people of Iraq, nor citizens of other countries formerly ruled by dictators, should be obliged to repay odious debts; that countries who receive debt cancellation be free to implement their own national development strategies with no strings attached to cancellation; and, credit on accessible terms for the world's poorest countries.
