Indian students outpace Ontario government in funding colleges: report
Sunday, September 17th, 2023
“Indian students not only contribute twice the amount of money to the college system, on aggregate, that Canadian students do, they also contribute slightly more than does the Government of Ontario.”… as Ontario has frozen and reduced tuition for domestic students, colleges have made up for it by accepting more international students… this has led to municipalities struggling to provide housing, transit and social services for the increasing population.

Time for Ford to act on Ontario’s reliance on international students for post-secondary funding
Wednesday, August 30th, 2023
The government’s failure to properly fund post-secondary is the root cause of the burgeoning international student population and the strain it puts on housing… What it needs to do is reduce the system’s reliance on those students’ fees by reducing their numbers and making up the difference itself. That would help both the housing market and the stability of post-secondary education.

Black Canadians suffer racism in the justice system. Efforts are needed to address it.
Tuesday, June 27th, 2023
To be sure, the police aren’t alone in their disparate treatment of Black Canadians and other racial minorities. Police are, inevitably, singled out given their role on the front line of the justice system… racial bias is a systemic problem. And rectifying that will require not just apologies, but a concerted, thoroughgoing effort to eradicate the racism that threatens the very ideals animating and inspiring our system, and our society.

It’s time to abolish the Catholic school system in Ontario
Thursday, June 1st, 2023
The demographic and political imperatives that required a separate system no longer exist. The system continues to exist because of a powerful lobby, entrenched interests, and inertia… it would take only Ontario and the federal government to do so. The legal path to ending public denominational funding is much easier than you think. There would be court challenges and protests, but the separate-system backers would lose.

A bitter truth: 30 years of child welfare data collection reveals deep systemic inequities, racism and harm
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023
The data in this study told a different story from the shocking, high-profile physical and sexual abuse cases covered in media. “The majority of situations we were documenting in Ontario had to do with neglect rather than physical or sexual abuse… most cases revealed toxic combinations of struggling parents trying to raise children within a context of poverty, systemic racism, substance abuse and lack of support.

It’s time to close the breach at Roxham Road and enforce Canada’s borders
Tuesday, February 21st, 2023
It’s not mainly a question of money. The people working to receive and care for asylum seekers are limited. The number of new classes we can add to accommodate children, many of whom are distressed or traumatized, is limited, and that’s not to mention the shortage of teachers… housing… We have therefore asked the federal government to settle new asylum seekers in other provinces that are capable of supporting them with dignity.

We know better, so why aren’t we doing better in supporting the health of children and youth in care?
Wednesday, November 16th, 2022
The complex health and social issues faced by children and youth in care call for a comprehensive cross-sector collaborative approach to health care… children and youth with child welfare involvement are at risk of bearing a heavier burden of illness than their counterparts who do not have child welfare involvement, as a result of an inequitable system of health-care provision that fails to address their unique circumstances.

Moving from theory to implementation on human rights and poverty
Wednesday, November 2nd, 2022
Where and how do we advocate for changes in the way our public systems operate so that people experience their human rights in their everyday lives? What can we learn from the way our community partners serve individuals and families? … the people who live with the consequences of our systems that are built to put and keep people in poverty, must be active participants in shaping the solutions that will impact their lives the most.
