<p>The Greenbelt scandal is a fast-moving story.</p><p>Each week it seems that a new layer to the shady backroom deal to carve up sensitive protected land for a select few developers is revealed. Just how far down the rabbit hole does this story go? Thanks to grassroots organizations like Environmental Defense and Eco-Justice, as well as independent news like The Narwhal, we are learning more and more about how this scandal operates. Last week, Environmental Defense and Eco-Justice announced that they would be suing the government to learn what more details were to be learned about the Greenbelt scandal.</p><p>When Environmental Defense originally sued the provincial government to uncover what happened in the Greenbelt, it sparked an avalanche of information. At that time we invited Tim Gray, their Executive Director to discuss the action. So this time we extended the invitation once again, and Tim graciously accepted. However, in true Greenbelt scandal fashion, the morning of our recording the government announced that they would be rolling back their zoning orders concerning the urban boundaries of 905 cities. Nevertheless, we used the opportunity to discuss what more is there to uncover and what trust is left between Ontarians and this government.</p><p>This Episode is brought to you by Graham Agnew of Dominion Lending</p><p><a href="https://grahamagnew.ca/">https://grahamagnew.ca/</a></p><p><strong>It takes money and time to do this podcast.

<p>In the last few weeks, news of the horrific attacks by Hamas against Israel shocked the world. As was expected, Israel responded aggressively against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. We aren't going to get into the midst of that conflict on this podcast. That isn't our beat. What is our beat however is local politicians. Namely how they have responded to the attacks in the Middle East. One MPP has waded into the highly politicized and contentious issue through a public statement affirming her support for the Palestinian people while at the same time ignoring the attacks against Israelis. By now, you realize we are talking about Hamilton Centre MPP, Sarah Jama.</p><p>Sarah Jama's statement has drawn much criticism, in the way it omitted any reference to the attack on innocent Israeli lives. The response to it has been calls from her leader to issue a retraction and apology for the statement. To this date, she has not retracted the statement. As well, Premier Doug Ford has taken the extraordinary step of issuing a motion in the legislature to prohibit the Speaker from recognizing her in the chamber. Essentially silencing her voice as a representative of the people of Hamilton Centre. While Ms Jama's point of view is indeed controversial it is a shocking step to bar her entirely from participating in the democratic process. At least that's the view of our guest today.</p><p>Joey Coleman returns to the podcast today to discuss his opinion piece from his website The Public Record. In which he argues that the Ontario PC government is taking extreme and possibly dangerous measures to silence their opposition. That decision should be left to the citizens of Hamilton Centre at the next election. A link to his piece is below. We talk with him about his opinion as well as the greater risk to democratic norms and how the media is covering this.</p><p>**NOTE**: We recorded this episode prior to Monday's announcement that Marit Stiles the NDP Leader was removing Sarah Jama from caucus.</p><p><a href="https://www.thepublicrecord.ca/2023/10/coleman-free-expression-sarah-jama-and-the-governments-motion-to-remove-her-from-the-legislature/">https://www.thepublicrecord.ca/2023/10/coleman-free-expression-sarah-jama-and-the-governments-motion-to-remove-her-from-the-legislature/</a></p><p>This Episode is brought to you by Graham Agnew of Dominion Lending</p><p><a href="https://grahamagnew.ca/">https://grahamagnew.ca/</a></p><p><strong>It takes money and time to do this podcast.

<p>We like to keep ahead of what we see as important to the 905 and Ontario.</p><p>As such, we think we've been keeping you informed on the intricacies of developments and housing before they became household topics. In that spirit, we wanted to focus this episode on an aspect of the housing crisis that hasn't had a lot of focus to date.</p><p>Our federal political leaders like to speak about tax cuts and red tape elimination to spur development, and here in Ontario, the provincial government is mired in the Greenbelt scandal in an attempt to free up land to developers. However, what none of our political leaders seem to be focused on is who will be building the new housing that is needed. It is not news that we are currently in a skilled labour shortage in Ontario. So how will we find the carpenters, electricians and plumbers we'll need to build millions of new homes?</p><p>We turned to Craig Brockwell to ask that question. Craig is a former tech teacher in Ontario high schools and worked in government relations for the Ontario Secondary Schools Teachers Federation as well as Support Ontario Youth, a not-for-profit that helped put students into the skilled trades. He joins us today to talk about this important yet often secondary concern of the housing crisis.</p><br><p>This Episode is brought to you by Graham Agnew of Dominion Lending</p><p><a href="https://grahamagnew.ca/">https://grahamagnew.ca/</a></p><p><strong>It takes money and time to do this podcast.

<p>We've been wanting to do this episode for a few weeks now—however, other more immediate stories needed to be addressed fully.</p><p>However, we are getting back on schedule and talking to set the matter straight on the issue of housing in the 905 and Ontario at large.</p><p>This summer, it seemed that the Conservative Party of Canada would be taking the lead on the housing issue. Pierre Poilievre surged to take a massive lead in the polls over Justin Trudeau with his addressing the housing crisis and placing that at the centre of his political identity. And then, Trudeau changed the script. At the end of the summer, the federal Liberals announced a policy that affordable housing advocates that we've had on this podcast have been advocating for. The elimination of HST on new rental accommodation builds. While this was happening, however, in Ontario the provincial government became embroiled in the largest land speculation scandal in the province's history. As it sounds now, the Greenbelt scandal is continuing to unfold and shows no end in sight.</p><p>Amongst all of this whirlwind in the news, we got wind of some mistruths and rumours that started to circulate. Myths that landlords would be the beneficiaries of the tax cut. We took it upon ourselves to sit down and review everything we've learned about the housing crisis so far from our episodes surrounding it and put together this episode to clear the air and set the facts straight. So plug in and have a listen as we set the record straight on the myths and realities of the housing crisis in Ontario.</p><p>This Episode is brought to you by Graham Agnew of Dominion Lending</p><p><a href="https://grahamagnew.ca/">https://grahamagnew.ca/</a></p><p><strong>It takes money and time to do this podcast.

Get acquainted with new schedules and expectations for a productive school year.</p><p>Instead at four Hamilton high schools, a total of 16 bomb threats have forced four high schools to close for student safety over four separate days. Hamilton police have open investigations into all of them, and preliminary reports have the threats linked to anti-LGBTQ+ and Trans rights motives. In September, the 1 Million March for Children came through Ontario advocating for policies that would put Trans students' safety at risk and eliminating pro-LGBTQ and Transgender policies from schools in the province. We don't believe in coincidences, at least not ones this big or obvious. So the question we had on our minds was, why is no one speaking up about this risk to student safety?</p><p>To date, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Minister of Education Stephen Lecce have issued no statement condemning the threats to student safety. We invited on to the podcast, long-time friend and colleague Laura Babcock to dive into what is going on with this issue. As well we take the opportunity to broaden our inquiry into Ford's attitude towards Hamilton, as a prominent business Collective Arts Brewing is threatened with a massive tax bill from archaic and harmful tax laws.

Our sit down with one of the anti protesters of the 1MillionMarch, trans teen Jayden Hill

<p>Please support our work at our website https://905er.ca</p><p>On Wednesday last week, crowds appeared in cities across the country protesting pro-LGBTQ+ student policies in school boards. Remnants of the Freedom Convoy, have transformed from being anti-vaccine mandates into anti-LGBTQ+ policies in school boards. Under the guise of protecting students, these groups argue that pronouns should be disclosed to parents, as well as the elimination of gender identity and sexual orientation education from the Ontario curriculum. At the same time, pro-LGBTQ+ organizations and individuals want to ensure that students who identify as such are protected and kept safe while attending school and at home.</p><p>Both sides met face-to-face at many school boards across the country last week. At the Halton District School Board in Burlington, protesters and anti-protesters met. Our host, Joel MacLeod, went down to see the protests in person and talked to people from both sides to see if there could be any common ground on this divisive topic. As well as to get a sense of what is driving this latest aspect of the culture war in Canada.</p><p>This Episode is brought to you by Graham Agnew of Dominion Lending</p><p><a href="https://grahamagnew.ca/">https://grahamagnew.ca/</a></p><p><strong>It takes money and time to do this podcast.

<p>You can support the work we do by visiting our website at<a href="%20https://905er.ca"> https://905er.ca</a></p><p>Last week a civic meeting at the Bennetto Community Centre in Hamilton was shut down due to attendees' disruptive behaviour. The issue of the meeting was to inform the local community about the proposed site for the Hamilton Alliance for Tiny Shelters, or HATS.</p><p>We've spoken about the HATS project before on the podcast. However, over the last year, what seemed to be an innovative way to address the tent encampments and rising homelessness around Hamilton, has turned into a lightning rod of controversy. Seemingly the city has been unable to take the leadership to find a suitable location and encourage local support for this project. While cities around Ontario, namely Waterloo and Kingston have embraced the concept, Hamilton still seems in turmoil over whether or not it wants HATS to succeed.</p><p>As the housing crisis continues across the country, where could HATS fit into a new housing strategy that seeks to help people get back on their feet and climb the social ladder again? We reached out to Tom Cooper, one of the co-founders of the HATS project and director of the Hamilton Roundtable for Poverty Reduction to talk about where the project stands and what is at stake with it's success or failure.</p><p>This Episode is brought to you by Graham Agnew of Dominion Lending</p><p><a href="https://grahamagnew.ca/">https://grahamagnew.ca/</a></p><p><strong>It takes money and time to do this podcast.

<p>Please support our work at our website https://905er.ca</p><p>As families and students get prepared to return to school for another year, the LGBTQ+ community is coming under undo scrutiny once again.</p><p>Over the summer, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan provincial governments changed their policies regarding notifying parents of a student's wish to change their pronouns or assigned name from birth. Here in Ontario, the Minister of Education Stephen Lecce voiced support for the policy and opened the door to Ontario making a similar change to its policy. This of course kicked open the hornet's nest of public debate with those on the right arguing for the policy under the guise of 'parental rights'. LGBTQ+ advocates, unions, and education professional organizations have stated that this policy would in fact harm students who wanted to change their pronouns. All of this comes under the umbrella of an Ontario government that is desperate to change the channel on its ongoing Greenbelt scandal.</p><p>We thought it would be prudent to discuss the politics and practicalities of what a change in this policy might have on Ontario schools and students. To that end, we invited to the podcast the Hon. Kathleen Wynne to discuss the matter. Ms. Wynne is a former Toronto School Board Trustee, Ontario Minister of Education, Canada's first openly gay Premier, a mother and a grandmother. We thought her expertise on the topic would be invaluable.</p><p>She joins us today.</p><p>This Episode is brought to you by Graham Agnew of Dominion Lending</p><p><a href="https://grahamagnew.ca/">https://grahamagnew.ca/</a></p><p><strong>It takes money and time to do this podcast.

<p>Please support our work at https://905er.ca</p><p>Now and again we come across what seems to be a small idea that could have a significant impact.</p><p>The Burlington Public Library has one of those ideas. Their Digital Archive was recently launched, putting their collection of historical documents online for the world to see. Now while most would see this as just an added service that the library would offer to its citizens, we see it as something more profound.</p><p>When we started this podcast, we knew that the 905 region was changing into something different something more than what it used to be. What that is is yet to be realized, however, if the people who live, work and play in the cities of the 905 are to take charge of that change and steer it in the direction they want it to go, then they need to know where they've been. The Burlington Digital Archive can help make that story more accessible to not just Burlingtonians but all of the world.</p><p>We invited the Library's CEO Lita Barrie to share with us the importance of this project what it could mean for Burlington going forward and what lessons can be applied to other cities around the province.</p><p>This Episode is brought to you by Graham Agnew of Dominion Lending</p><p><a href="https://grahamagnew.ca/">https://grahamagnew.ca/</a></p><p><strong>It takes money and time to do this podcast.

<p>This summer and this year has seen tent encampments spring up across not just the 905 but across the entire country.</p><p>As housing prices continue to skyrocket and wages remain stagnant, a very real and very immediate economic crisis has emerged. More and more people are being forced out of their rental properties and homes due to them becoming more and more unaffordable. The result has seen a crisis of homelessness on our streets. It is virtually impossible for one to walk through their community and not see those suffering from homelessness in an alcove or a tent in a park.</p><p>We wanted to talk about this crisis on the podcast from a different approach however. To that end we devoting the next two episodes on the topic from different perspectives.</p><p>This episode is devoted to learning about the homelessness crisis at the grassroots perspective. We invited on Michelle Bilek from the Ontario Association to End Homelessness. Michelle is a grassroots organizer in Peel, devoted to ended homelessness across Canada. She is a former candidate for all levels of government and is a tireless advocate for homeless and affordable housing in Ontario.</p><p>She joins us today.</p><p>This Episode is brought to you by Graham Agnew of Dominion Lending</p><p><a href="https://grahamagnew.ca/">https://grahamagnew.ca/</a></p><p><strong>It takes money and time to this podcast.

While it is based on updated techniques and science concerning children's development, it is of course not without controversy. Usually in developing and unrolling curriculum, it is a slow process. Testing to see what works and doesn't and ensuring that all teachers have the best tools to implement it and ensure success for students across the province.</p><p>In Ontario's rush to implement this new curriculum it appears that one stakeholder has been left out of discussions. Ontario's teachers. Teachers are pointing out that they have been only given two webinars to learn how to implement an entire new process on teaching students how to read and write. One critic of the unrolling process is Nathaniel Arfin. Nathaniel is a former candidate for Trustee who is an advocate for public education. He is an entrepreneur and BIA board member. He has written an Op-Ed for the website and we invited him on to talk about it.</p><p>This Episode is brought to you by Graham Agnew of Dominion Lending</p><p><a href="https://grahamagnew.ca/">https://grahamagnew.ca/</a></p><p><strong>It takes money and time to this podcast.

In fact outside the province all they across the prairies to the great province of Alberta.</p><p>Don't worry we aren't changing our address, but in light of the aftermath of the recent Alberta provincial election of Danielle Smith we wanted to look at the effects of it on the 905. This might seem like a stretch for an episode but there is a method to our madness. For sometime, the Alberta government has been encouraging 905 and Toronto residents to move to the province with the promise of bigger houses, bigger yards and a lesser mortgage. And it appeared to be working with more and more Ontarians moving out west. As we often talk about the housing crisis on this podcast we thought it would be prudent to see how the Alberta provincial election of a right wing Premier might encourage or discourage some 905ers from backing up and making the move.</p><p>We reached out to Nate Pike, the host of the excellent podcast The Breakdown AB. A similar venture in Alberta, focusing on that provinces politics and issues, much like we do here in Ontario. What happened was a lively and surprising discussion about the similarities between Ontario and Alberta and that despite what you often read in the media, the differences between the west and central Canada aren't that different to begin with.</p><p>The Breakdown is available on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-breakdown-with-nate-pike/id1493155854">Apple Podcasts </a></p><p>This Episode is brought to you by Graham Agnew of Dominion Lending</p><p><a href="https://grahamagnew.ca/">https://grahamagnew.ca/</a></p><p><strong>It takes money and time to this podcast.

Followers of this podcast will know of our coverage of the Halton Catholic School Board's year long debate over raising the flag at it's properties and how contentious that proceeding was. The result was a questioning of how accepting are York Catholic schools for their LGBTQ+ students and staff? </p><p>Opponents to the Pride flag often cite that the symbol goes against their Catholic beliefs and has no place within a Catholic School's walls. Which brings up the further argument of, in a multicultural and accepting society such as Canada, why should public tax dollars go to a system which is opposed to acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community. The question often asked is why should Ontario continue to fund a Catholic school system at all?</p><p>One person who asked that question in an opinion piece on the TV Ontario website was David Moscrop. David has written about politics for numerous publications, hosts two podcasts and authors a Substack, and holds a PhD from the University of British Columbia in Political Science. His opinion piece titled "It's time to abolish the Catholic school system in Ontario" sparked our interest and we invited him on to discuss the matter in far more detail. </p><p><a href="https://www.tvo.org/article/its-time-to-abolish-the-catholic-school-system-in-ontario">It's time to abolish the Catholic school system in Ontario - TVO Today</a></p><p>This Episode is brought to you by Graham Agnew of Dominion Lending</p><p><a href="https://grahamagnew.ca/">https://grahamagnew.ca/</a></p><p><strong>It takes money and time to this podcast.

Isiah Lehtinen gives an outstanding performance as the awkward and sometimes infuriating Lawrence, and the movie features a number of other excellent portrayals from his co-stars, most obviously from Romina D’Ugo as Alana, Lawrence’s long-suffering boss at the video store.</p><p>If you would like to see <em>I Like Movies</em>, it is released today (June 6th 2023) to on-demand services such as You Tube movies and Amazon Prime for viewing at home. More details can be found online at <a href="https://mongrelmedia.com">Mongrelmedia.com</a>.</p><p>We are delighted to welcome Chandler Levack onto the podcast to talk more about “I Like Movies”.</p><p>This Episode is brought to you by Graham Agnew of Dominion Lending</p><p><a href="https://grahamagnew.ca/">https://grahamagnew.ca/</a></p><p><strong>It takes money and time to this podcast.
