Today on The Social, Ontario is enacting a cellphone ban in schools starting in September.  Then, according to Vulture, the “filthy-hot” male aesthetic is hot.  And, pro-Palestine protests are growing at Universities across Canada and the United States.  Is disrupting campus life an effective tactic?

A few weeks ago, I got a late night message on our team's Slack that made me do a double-take and was - to be frank - a real shock. It was a link to a Reddit thread that was titled “Ontario Digital Service is Officially Dead.”ODS had a simple but ambitious mission: transform Ontario's government services and practices for the digital age. It was led by Hillary Hartley, a veteran of digital transformation efforts like 18F in the United States Federal Government, who took on the role of not just leading ODS but serving as the first Chief Digital and Data Officer for the Ontario Government.ODS did groundbreaking work for government: New digital service standards and legislation, building user research labs, and creating really great apps and digital tools. But ODS was about more than just digital products. It was just as much about people. Passionate public servants driven by the belief that interacting with government should be easy and, in Hillary's words, delightful.So it came as a shock when I found out that the Ontario Digital Service was being shut down. Not with a bang, but quietly and without fanfare via an internal memo informing staff that ODS was being disbanded. There has been little public discussion on what ODS' contribution to the Ontario government has been, nor what this decision might mean for other government digital teams or the digital government movement more broadly.On this episode of the podcast, we tell the story of the ODS over the past 7 years, and what it means now that it has ended, from those who were there at the beginning. We hear from Hillary Hartley about leading the ODS as Ontario's first Chief Digital Officer. We also hear from Karim Bardeesy who was Director of Policy and Deputy Principal Secretary for Premiere Kathleen Wynne when ODS was first being conceptualized. Tanya Coyle, was a long time public servant in Ontario who became one of the co-founders of this new digital startup team in the heart of the Ontario government. And Honey Dacanay was part of the founding team of ODS when it was still what we sometimes call in the tech world a “two-pizza team”.Related LinksOntario Digital Service is officially dead (Reddit)Ontario government disbands remnants of Ontario Digital Service by David Reevely, The LogicFirst blogpost by the team that set-up ODSByte-Sized Progress: Assessing Digital Transformation in the Government of Canada, The DaisOntario Digital ServiceWatch on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-nZ3G14zyUChapters00:04 Introduction03:11 Hillary Hartley joins the ODS04:33 The role of political leadership11:50 Accomplishments of the ODS21:11 What does the disbanding mean?28:14 Hillary reflects on the end of ODS34:22 Conclusion

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: Today, Canada's NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is in town to speak to media about the party's push to make big grocer CEOs “pay their fair share,” as the press release puts it. As the federal inquiry on foreign interference by China and other nations resumed last week, hearing from activists who claim persecution by those countries, a much different sort of approach to the People's Republic unfolded overseas: A delegation of five MPs and senators, most of them on friendly terms with Beijing, visited China, meeting officials of the unelected National People's Congress and other state institutions. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is highlighting a fundamental unfairness about the federal carbon tax: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is requiring taxpayers in other provinces to pay a higher carbon tax than in Quebec. Was CSIS too secretive about Foreign Interference in the 2021 election? What needs to happen next for Canada to have a successful school food program? The Ontario Government's messaging about the eclipse, particularly the highway safety signs that have had their advice to “telecommute” pulled. The federal Conservative lead over Trudeau's Liberals is narrowing, according to new polling from Ipsos. The Hamilton Spectator has a new piece covering how the Medusa cybercrime gang has recently targeted Hamilton businesses with ransomware attacks. Who are they? Guests: Jagmeet Singh, Leader of the Federal NDP Charles Burton, Senior Fellow with the Centre for Advancing Canada's Interests Abroad at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute Franco Terrazzano, Canadian Taxpayers Federation, Federal Director Phil Gurski, President of Borealis Threat and Risk Consulting, former CSIS analyst Rachel Engler-Stringer, Professor Community Health and Epidemiology, Univesrity of Saskatchewan Colin D'Mello, Queen's Park Bureau Chief, Global News Nik Nanos, CMC FRIC Chief Data Scientist and Founder, Nanos Research David Shipley, Cyber security expert and CEO of Beauceron Security Scott Radley, Host of The Scott Radley Show and Columnist with the Hamilton Spectator Host – Scott Thompson Content Producer – William Erskine Technical/Podcast Producer – Tom McKay Podcast Co-Producer – Ben Straughan News Anchor – Dave Woodard & Jen McQueen Want to keep up with what happened in Hamilton Today?

This week, Ontario Housing Minister Paul Calandra (new to the job after his predecessor resigned amid scandal in September) announced another reversal of a key government policy. This time, it was massive changes to urban boundaries outside several Ontario cities—changes most of the cities themselves fought against.Coming a week after the government introduced legislation to officially reverse its actions on Ontario's Greenbelt, and on the heels of reversals of everything from pandemic policy to license plates, is it a positive thing that this government can admit when it's wrong and change, or a worrisome sign that so many of its major initiatives need fixing?Today, a trip inside Queen's Park, where nothing is ever certain ... or dull.GUEST: Richard Southern, Queen's Park reporter, CityNews

In 2016, she founded the Cheeky Proletariat gallery, an accessible and inclusive space for the free expression of all people.

The judge in charge of investigating the use of the Emergencies Act last year found it troubling that the Ford government didn't get involved in stopping the protests until a blockade formed in Windsor, threatening economic activity crossing the Detroit River. These are harsh findings for the Ontario government. Mike Schreiner is remaining the leader of the Green Party of Ontario as he passes up the chance to run for the Ontario Liberal leadership. The legislature returned last week and so too did questions about Doug Ford's daughter's stag and doe party. Developers paid thousands to attend the event and the premier seems unaware of the poor optics on this story.

In this episode of Office Hours, with our host William “The Professor” Collis, The Professor discusses the government of Ontario launching a $784,000 scholarship to support students enrolled in esports and other gaming industry-related college programs.

The province of Ontario under Doug Ford's premiership is hardly conservative and it is definitely not “for the people.”On today's episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by MPP Roman Baber. He has gone from being one of Doug Ford's loudest supporters to one his most ardent critics. Baber was ejected from caucus in early 2021 after calling on the premier to put an end to destructive lockdowns. They discuss the draconian lockdown measures, how science contradicts our current health measures and the need for fundamental change in Canadian politics.
