  • Not impressed

    I was excited when I found out HR had a podcast. I found a lot of their guests biased and propaganda based, not giving credible or unbiased opinion. It is a dry podcast… much more interesting and engaging podcasts out there on the same topics.

Engage with the Minister of Education, cite specific examples and documents, and mobilize through parent groups and community pressure to prompt transparent disclosure and review of the Education Equity Secretariat's role and spending.
The Lucrative, Taxpayer-Funded 'Anti-Palestinian Racism' Happening In Ontario Schools: An Insightful Coversation With Melanie Bennet, Investigative Journalist With Juno News
Q: How does the training get delivered and who signs off on it?
The delivery involved a pre-recorded video watched by thousands, with questions funnelled through the Equity Office, and it's unclear exactly who approved the expenditure, though they imply ministry policy and equity objectives were driving the decision.
The Lucrative, Taxpayer-Funded 'Anti-Palestinian Racism' Happening In Ontario Schools: An Insightful Coversation With Melanie Bennet, Investigative Journalist With Juno News
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about what you found?
I uncovered a costly, externally delivered training for teachers that centers Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism, with affidavits and legal challenges surrounding FOI disclosures, suggesting political and ideological content being pushed in K-12 education.
The War With Iran Has Started. What Comes Next? An Insightful Conversation With British Broadcaster & Journalist Jonathan Sacerdoti
Q: What do you see as the most likely outcome, and is there a concrete endgame in sight?
There isn't a single clear endgame that Sacerdoti can confirm, but he argues there are multiple endgames under consideration—from decapitation and regime change to controlled, limited action or a negotiated settlement—each with significant caveats about replacement leadership and regional security arrangements.
The War With Iran Has Started. What Comes Next? An Insightful Conversation With British Broadcaster & Journalist Jonathan Sacerdoti
Q: From your perspective as an observer, what are your thoughts right now in terms of where this war is going?
The conflict is different this time with the US playing a larger role and a lack of a clear time limit, suggesting it could extend for weeks or months with various potential outcomes including regime change, containment, or a more limited action depending on regional dynamics.
