Don Martin: Poilievre doesn't feel your pain, but he's sure good at communicating it

Jump

  • Maybe I've missed it but has Poilievre proposed anything for a housing or inflation fix? Most of what I've seen has just been platitudes about how Canadians are hurting and Trudeau is to blame. Obviously not untrue, people are suffering and Trudeau hasn't done enough but saying that is not a solution.

    Or I missed his proposals; I try not to get too focused on candidates this far before an election.

  • Completely agree higher salaries and less bureaucratic breathing over the shoulder attracts better teachers out of the public system and into private schools where only the privileged have access. But frankly who can blame them; here in Ontario the teachers spend more time without a contract than with one and our government tried making it illegal for education workers to strike last year. Wouldn't surprise me if they tried the same thing when there's a strike next month.

  • Thanks for the tip! I had heard of Montessori schools before but only in the context of fancy private schools. In the ~5 minutes of top level reading there are some really interesting ideas there, it's definitely something I'll be looking further into. A couple of friends have been lamenting the state of public schools here (Ontario, Canada) so alternate learning styles have been top of mind for me.

  • An interesting read, I think most of us agree that modern schooling isn't really working for a lot of kids. If interest and real world focused education is going to work though it would need to be a community project rather than individual works. So much of early education is the social skill building and basics about the world that at least at first I think it would need to be fairly structured/standardized (sharing, courtesy, basic reading/math, etc.) Does anyone know if this sort of is being or has been tried on any large scale?
