Is Ontario's renewable energy turnaround too little, too late?
About this episode
The episode discusses Ontario's renewable energy procurement, education system changes, and the merger of two colleges amidst declining enrollment.
Is the Ford government's latest renewable energy procurement enough? Green Party leader Mike Schreiner weighs in on that, the province's takeover of Billy Bishop airport, and where he thinks the budget missed the mark (see: housing). Then, hosts Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath unpack new changes to Ontario's school system, which includes a new job description for school trustees. Is this a move to consolidate power by the Ford government? Finally, two of Ontario's colleges decided to merge, perhaps a sign of the times during a period of declining enrollment and financial support. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
