#Canada’s #federal #budget promises #antihate #action, but can the #government actually do anything?

“This new Action Plan will include measures to combat hateful rhetoric and acts, building on measures being taken in Budget 2023 to build safer, more inclusive communities.”

If she wins, #Toronto mayoral candidate, Ana Bailão, plans to ask the #Ontario govt to take back responsibility for the #Gardiner & DVP expressways. Last year, the province told then-mayor John Tory - 'NO' - to a Gardiner/DVP upload, which is why it wasn't in his re-election campaign last October.
Ana Bailão co-chaired Tory's election campaign, so unless Doug Ford has had a change of heart that we're unaware of - her plan seems suspect​.

Yesterday, Rishi Sunak stated “we will work with the sector to move towards all children studying some form of maths to 18” then later said “Improving education is the closest thing to a silver bullet there is.”
