Sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss details before the announcement, confirmed some details to The Canadian Press.Education is a provincial jurisdiction and the sources said Trudeau will fully respect that. Provinces and territories will be able to spend the money as they see fit to bolster their efforts to ensure schools can reopen this fall as safely as possible.
Schools have been shut down across the country since COVID-19 started sweeping across the country in mid-March.
Election fodder just in case
No, spending other people's money does not solve any of the problems we have right now... is this a dream? When will I wake up?
Stop. Spending. Our. Money. and intruding in provincial jurisdiction in education.
Please stop spending my money like there is no tomorrow!!!
is WE involved again?
Great, more money for the boards and teacher unions, friends of Liberals and NDP. Nothing directly to the parents.
In ontario that would result in around 8k teachers, and the rest consumed in overhead.
could have used Cap 'n' Trade, but BuckABeerDougie cancelled it. Oopsie BuckABeerDougie!! Scrapping cap-and-trade will cost Ontario $3-billion in lost revenue: financial watchdog /via
This is how it works! fordnation puts a plan that won't work, everyone makes noise, premier asks more money from Ottawa as he wants to save province money. Putting lives at risk for politics.
Give? You mean taxpayer money right? And why is this fool meddling in provincial jurisdictions? He thinks he's a King that's why.
I admire what Ottawa is doing and it’s needed now, I’m just afraid there won’t be any money for my retirement no matter what i save and i can’t save that much 😢
