@NC_Renic Thinking that departing senior scholars will be replaced by early-career counterparts is a myth at many schools. More likely to be replaced by a string of over-worked and under-payed adjuncts with no allocated time for research and writing, much less any support for conferences.

@David_Moscrop Some questions are being raised in this thread about whether defunding Catholic schools (more precisely consolidating the separate and public systems) would be constitutional. It would be a simple process, @drbillirwin and I wrote about that in 2018

It’s time to merge Ontario’s two school systems

The time to consolidate Ontario’s two school systems is long overdue. It’s no longer viable to dismiss the issue on Constitutional grounds. All that’s needed is political will.

Many Londoners are worried about “covering daily living expenses”. City Council needs to stay focused on meeting the basic needs of the people. This is not the time to be discussing cycle lanes. We need to focus on small business survival, safety, public transit and housing.

What's the best way to revitalize our cities' downtown cores? Is housing the answer? Transforming commercial spaces into housing could give cities the boost they need. More w/ @CANURB 's @rowemw at 7:10. #ldnont

This afternoon I visited @ArkAidMission and Cronyn-Warner Emergency Winter services. Speaking with staff, volunteers and clients was a humbling experience. I didn’t take photos but saw first hand the positive impact these facilities are having on peoples’ lives in #LdnOnt .

@ct_degroot @cmckenney @Penalosa_G Or imagine #LdnOnt had a progressive gov’t. Not beholden to developers, absentee landlords & other special interests. One where we had a solid plan to reduce emissions by building a better cycling and public transit network. Maybe our progressive vision could trickle up as well!

My council office gets a lot of emails and drop-offs, many form-letters. But this one was very special and is taped to my door. Few words, but deep meaning. Thank you so much to the author!

The University of Ottawa @uOttawa has become the first Canadian university to adopt a vaccination mandate. It will apply to students, faculty, staff and visitors who intend to access campus on or after Sept. 7, 2021 (1st dose) and Oct 15, 2021 (2nd dose)

@TheBikingLawyer @HamiltonPolice @CHCHNews I hope the cyclist vigorously defends the charge. If it’s like some roads in #LdnOnt , a person often has no safe choice but to take the sidewalk. Cities can place share the sidewalk signs, or better yet provide a safer alternative.

It’s appalling that the @globeandmail declined to publish this excellent refutation to the piece they ran attacking public libraries. They really owe their readers an explanation.

Canadian libraries push back against a recently published editorial arguing that public libraries are "a net harm" to literature:

I'm seeing a lot of very negative stereotypes being posted now about @WesternU students. It's very unfair as student leaders like @MitchellPratt10 & @channydang have taken measures to create top quality alternative programming. I live in B'dale, & really appreciate their efforts.

@HomeSpaceyyc We need these vacant-office-to-affordable-housing conversions in #LdnOnt . It should be a priority for the new council. The unhealthy glut of vacancies in the core needs to be re-purposed into productive uses, and this Calgary project provides a good model for us to look at.

@ct_degroot @WesternU It’s very disappointing to say the least. There’s just nothing interesting, much less sensational, about the university carrying forward their previous policies on masking and vaccinations. And most people being quietly ok, if not happy about it , doesn’t seem newsworthy either.
