OSAP. School boards. Airports and jets. As Queen's Park breaks for the summer, the Ford government is facing growing scrutiny over a series of high-profile decisions and the public response to them. TVO Today's John Michael McGrath breaks down the latest moves and the political stakes behind them. Then, how are voters feeling about the government, and is there an opening for the opposition? We hear from a panel of political watchers: Kim Wright of Wright Strategies, Ontario Liberal strategist Andrew Perez, columnist Michael Taube, and John Michael McGrath.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Doug Ford is facing public scrutiny for his changes to Freedom of Information and his “gravy plane” fiasco. But throughout his career, Ford has leveraged his folksy persona to deflect and distract from his scandals. Behind the shtick is a calculated and effective political communications strategy, but has the “Uncle Doug” routine finally run out of steam?

Happy Passover and Easter to those celebrating. I hope everyone is able to enjoy some of this beautiful long weekend, and I hope some of you will also enjoy this Uncommons episode with the always thoughtful Karina Gould. We met in Karina's stomping grounds of Burlington at Peach Coffee Co., and we cover a lot of ground, from AI and online safety, to Ford's OSAP cuts, to school food. But the broader conversation is really about the future of progressive politics. Karina is a friend, she was an excellent minister (competence is underrated in politics!), and I still think she'd make a great premier, even though she's opted out of the leadership race.A reminder that it's advance polls for the three by-elections from today through Monday.And another reminder that we're marching in this Sunday's Beaches Lions Easter Parade, and you can join us at 1:30 pm at the RC Harris water treatment plant (the most important Easter tasks are rhyming clues for the kids' Easter hunt and ironing my yellow/purple suits for the parade).I've been asked to be the grand marshal this year, which is pretty fun considering it's my last year marching as an MP, I volunteered in the parade with the Lions before I was elected, and I watched this same parade as a kid.My belief is that government is there to be a force for good in people's lives. And when I think about what the job of the government is, it's to protect people, to keep them safe. That could be our borders, but that might also be economically, make sure we don't have people that are going hungry. All of these things that we actually have the power to do and that we could do, but we have to be intentional about doing it. - Karina GouldFollow Karina on Facebook, Instagram, X.Watch more episodes of Uncommons on YouTube: click hereThanks for reading Uncommons with Nate Erskine-Smith!

For this episode I give a platform to our co-op student Anarva Vipin, and my son and CFRU volunteer Otis Magoffin to talk about the high school student walkout that happened on March 11th 2026, in response to Doug Ford's cuts to OSAP. Anarva and Otis both attended the event, equipped with handheld recorders, recording speeches, and interviews with students (and MPP Mike Schreiner) who were in attendance. I interview them about the event, and about their respective thoughts on this topic - how these cuts affect them personally, and the ripple effect they anticipate for all Ontario youth if the cuts aren't overturned. Throughout the episode you will hear short interviews recorded by Otis at the event, and at about the 20 minute mark you will hear Anarva's short documentary about the event.Previously, depending on on a post-secondary student's financial situation, up to 85% of OSAP could be “gifts”, meaning only 15% remained as a loan that had to be paid back. The current changes reduce that to a maximum of 25% in gifts, meaning at least 75% in the form of loans. Ford has also removed the tuition freeze, and accelerated the repayment schedule. We should be worried for the future of folks aspiring to attend post secondary education, and I'm proud of these two young students speaking out and drawing attention to this issue.If this OSAP cut, and/or any other of the many many horrific changes Doug Ford has announced recently has you angry, please consider joining the “Rally to be Heard”. This recording has been edited to feature the new details for the second general protest: Cities all across Ontario will be hosting rallies Saturday April 25th. The Guelph one is happening from 12-1:00pm, at the corner of Wellington St and Gordon. This is a general rally against all of Ford's horrible announcements, including the OSAP cuts, and invites anyone of any age to join in solidarity.This interview was originally recorded on March 25, 2026, the student walkout content was originally recorded on March 11th, 2026 by Otis and Anarva This is a public episode.

Decades ago, Ontario's colleges operated with a goal of improving local economies and regional communities. Now, Premier Doug Ford claims if you're not in a highly-skilled field, the baskets you're looking to weave are no where to be found. With cuts to OSAP on the provincial level, and caps to student visas on the federal level, the mission of our colleges have seemed to have shifted towards keeping the lights on with as little investment as possible. Host Maria Kestane speaks to Dr. Emilda Thavaratnam, an educator at Centennial College. She authored an article called 'Ontario's colleges were founded to serve local and regional needs — have we forgotten that?'. The two discuss how the college system's ethos has shifted from locally-driven to profit-yielding, and how the province's most vulnerable are falling between the cracks. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstory.bsky.social on Bluesky

Get ready for an eye-opening, curse-laden vent session and discussion on the Scandal Panel! Protests are erupting across Ontario, fueled by outrage at Ford's alarming corruption and his disastrous handling of critical issues such as budget management, housing, healthcare, education, OSAP, ODSP, and environmental protection. Ford's attempts to hide his failures, particularly regarding the Greenbelt Scandal and the Skills Development Fund Scandal, by passing a law to retroactively limit Freedom of Information requests, are a blatant attack on transparency and accountability.Join Keith Leslie, Mark Cripps, and host Laura Babcock as they dissect these pressing issues and share their passionate rants about Ontario's ongoing crisis. They will also highlight the contrast in Prime Minister Mark Carney's positive actions, advocating a focus on pressing domestic issues rather than getting entangled in the illegal conflicts involving Trump and Netanyahu in the Middle East.This is more than just a discussion—it's a call to action! Comment, share, and subscribe to join the movement. Together, we can defend the integrity of Ontario, Canada, and democracies around the world. We cannot afford to stay silent in these crucial times—let's unite and demand the accountability and leadership we deserve!#ontario #ontariofinance #dougford #onpoli #nokings #fightfordemocracy #Toronto #healthcare #education #homelessness #housing #affordablehousing #college #OSAP #GreenbeltScandal #canadanews #trump #carney #tradewar #markcarney #canadianpodcast An independent podcast, the best way to support our work is by subscribing.

London West NDP MPP Peggy Sattler on FOI and OSAP discussions at Queen's Park.

What does the turnout look like? The dream of home ownership in Canada isn’t dead, but maybe it should be. GUEST: Siobhan Morris - CTV Toronto Queen’s Park Reporter

Aujourd'hui dans OSAP, on parle de Zohran Mamdani. Son élection comme maire de New York a surpris beaucoup de monde. Mais pas seulement parce qu'il a gagné… mais surtout par la manière dont il a gagné.▶ Soutenez Le Média :

The Space Show Presents John Hunt, Tuesday, 3-17-26Quick Summary:The Tuesday Space Show focused on UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) and UFO discussions, with John Hunt as our UAP specialist. The conversation covered various topics including the mysterious disappearance of General McCaslin in Albuquerque, potential government disclosure efforts, and historical cases like Roswell. John explained his personal journey into UFO research, starting with skepticism but becoming convinced of the phenomenon's reality based on credible witness accounts and government behavior. The discussion touched on various theories about alien technology, government cover-ups, and the potential impact of disclosure on society, with participants debating whether public reaction would be panic or acceptance. The group also explored historical cases, whistleblowers, and the challenges of verifying UAP claims, concluding that while more information is available now than in the past, determining the true nature of these phenomena remains elusive.Detailed Summary:John explained how his interest in UFOs developed over time, initially influenced by a former roommate and later piqued by a book by Leslie Kean featuring insights from political figures like John Podesta. His curiosity deepened after studying credible cases and documents, including the Twining memo and works by Dolan, leading him to conclude that some unexplained phenomena cannot be dismissed as illusions or hoaxes. John also noted that government behavior regarding UFOs suggests they are taking the subject seriously but controlling information, and he mentioned the importance of crash retrieval cases as potential proof of UFOs.Our team discussed the mysterious disappearance of a former General from Wright-Patterson Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The General, who had a background in aerospace engineering and was involved in various military projects including GPS and space-based laser programs, went missing while hiking with a gun but left his phone and wallet behind. While the official investigation treats it as a missing persons case, John suggested a potential connection to UAP programs due to the General's background and the timing following the Obama-Trump UAP discussion. The search involves local authorities, FBI, and Air Force OSI, though no evidence of foul play has been found despite extensive searching for three weeks.John discussed a Missouri congressman's visit to a naval aircraft testing site at Pax River, where he allegedly searched for facilities mentioned in a whistleblower document called “Immaculate Constellation.” The document, authored by Matthew Brown, revealed details about a classified program involving triangular aircraft and was eventually entered into congressional record. David questioned the feasibility of Trump's potential executive order to disclose UFO records, expressing skepticism about the government's ability to locate and release all relevant information, particularly given the complexity of data spread across various special access programs.We talked about global sightings of unidentified objects and the U.S.'s apparent control over information about them. John suggested that Russia and China might have the most information due to their large land masses, while David questioned how such a global lid could be maintained on the subject. Marshall proposed a theory that the U.S. could be creating fake UFO sightings as a form of psychological warfare against other countries. The conversation also touched on specific incidents, including the Roswell case and a recent event in Brazil, where a crashed object was reportedly witnessed by local authorities and civilians.John discussed the case of Bob Lazar, expressing skepticism about his claims due to concerns about his background and security clearance. He suggested the story could be disinformation, though acknowledged some evidence exists. When asked about current disclosure prospects, John also expressed doubt about Trump making a major announcement, noting the need for formal executive action. The discussion also touched on Dr. James Greer, with John acknowledging his historical contributions but questioning some of his more recent claims.John discussed a case involving Admiral Wilson, who was told about a secret reverse engineering program of an object not made by humankind but was ultimately warned not to pursue it further to protect his career. Ajay shared historical and mythological stories from India about beings from other worlds, suggesting a potential connection between ancient accounts and current phenomena. John acknowledged the existence of similar stories and beliefs throughout history, including reports of strange airships in the late 1800s and early 1900s, which could indicate that such encounters may not be entirely new.Ajay raised questions about the sudden advancement of humans compared to other species, speculating about possible extraterrestrial influence or genetic manipulation. John mentioned theories of genetic intervention by others, including Richard Dolan, but clarified he was not claiming these theories as fact. John also discussed skepticism within the UFO community regarding the ability to duplicate recovered alien technology, using historical examples to illustrate the point that possession does not necessarily mean replication capability. The conversation was briefly interrupted due to technical issues with John's connection, after which he resumed discussing the TR-3B and its potential connection to a previous hypothetical vehicle, the TR-3A.John expressed skepticism about claims of secret aircraft and free energy technology, arguing that such concepts don't align with known physics or practical implementation. The group discussed the Aurora program, with John suggesting it may have been a real black program involving pulse jet technology that was discontinued in the early 1990s due to budget cuts. Ajay shared his expertise in hypersonic technology, expressing doubt about the feasibility of the Aurora program and noting that any successful technology would likely have been developed by other nations by now. Ajay also revealed that the SR72 design, which he developed, was later adapted by Lockheed without proper credit or compensation.The group discussed the concept of “white world” programs versus “black world” programs, with John explaining that white world programs are publicly acknowledged while black world programs remain unacknowledged. David questioned why there would be such extensive effort to cover up potential evidence of extraterrestrials, suggesting it might indicate something significant needs to be hidden. It was suggested that government reluctance to disclose information about aliens might be due to concerns about causing mass hysteria, though David expressed skepticism about this explanation given current political climate and public trust in government. Marshall contributed by noting that people tend to want to believe interesting stories like those about aliens, making it difficult to dismiss such claims.The group discussed government behavior regarding unexplained phenomena, with John suggesting that the government's secrecy indicates they believe there is something significant to hide. They examined various reported crashes and incidents, including the OSAP program from 2004 and Dr. Eric Davis's involvement as a witness to classified information. The discussion also covered claims about psionic abilities and alien encounters, including Michael Herrera's account of a landing incident in Indonesia in 2009. The conversation ended with a debate about whether disclosure of alien contact would cause panic among scientists and religious communities.The group discussed the potential impact of revealing information about extraterrestrial life. John shared stories about government officials being briefed on UFOs, including a former Assistant Secretary of the Navy who claimed to have been told about aliens. The participants debated whether public disclosure would cause social disruption, with Marshall arguing that while some might profit from panic, most people wouldn't be significantly affected. The conversation also touched on the credibility of UAP phenomena and the challenges of verifying evidence in today's world, particularly given concerns about government transparency and the potential for AI-generated fake evidence.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

Ontario's Premier, Doug Ford has had post-secondary students, and their unions, in his sights since he took office, but a new round of cuts to OSAP has taken them over the edge.On March 14th, 2026, students mobilized at Queen's Park to demonstrate, only to be met by violence at the hands of the Toronto Police Services. This did not deter them.Organizers with the Canadian Federation of Students talk about how we got to this point, and what work needs to be done in order for students to be the force of change they're meant to be - including what it will take for a student strike to actually be effective.Hosted by: Jessa McLean, and produced by Santiago Helou-QuinteroCall to Action: Related Episodes: Lessons from Student EncampmentsMore Resources: CBC: OSAP Cuts - What you Need to KnowBe sure to subscribe to our SUBSTACK for even MORE content.All of our content is free - made possible by the generous sponsorships of our Patrons.

In the midst of escalating global tensions, particularly with the disastrous Epstein War in Iran initiated by Trump and Netanyahu, Canadians cannot afford to ignore the troubling behaviours of our political leaders at home. Recently, Canada's Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has faced significant ridicule in Politico, raising serious concerns about his leadership. Furthermore, revelations regarding a secret meeting involving his team, including Andrew Scheer, in Washington, DC, have sparked alarm regarding our national sovereignty. When pressed for details, Scheer's inability to recall who he met with is not just dismissive; it's alarming.This situation demands transparency from our leaders. The Conservative ties to the Trump regime, especially regarding discussions on separation and funding, cannot be taken lightly. As discussed on Keith Leslie's and Mark Cripps' panel with host Laura Babcock, these are not merely political missteps but threats to our very identity as a nation. Moreover, we must hold Ontario Premier Doug Ford accountable for his Trump-style power grabs, and his failure to keep promises on key issues such as housing and healthcare, his controversial plans for Toronto Airport, and the OSAP program for students and one of his appointments in Niagara had to resign for having a signed copy of Hitler's manifesto! His actions are undermining the trust that Canadians place in their government, and calls for protests are happening.Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mark Carney is impressing Canadians and the world with his leadership and investments in protecting the North.There's so much at stake right now. We need to engage with these critical discussions and demand answers from our leaders. Let's not remain passive while our sovereignty is put at risk by hidden agendas.

Send a textAre you one of the many Ontario students who rely on OSAP to help cover tuition? Brace yourself.The Ford government has announced billions in new funding for colleges and universities, but the cash comes in tandem with a drastic overhaul to the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP).Until now, approximately 85 per cent of OSAP assistance came in the form of grants, while the other 15 per cent were loans. Under the new system, the grant portion will be capped at just 25 per cent.Bottom line: OSAP recipients will now have much bigger debt loads when they graduate.Joining us on Closer Look to break down all the numbers — and all the angry text messages students are sending Doug Ford — is Jack Hauen, one of our Queen's Park reporters at The Trillium.Hosted by Village Media's Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith, and produced by Derek Turner, Closer Look is a new daily podcast that goes way beyond the headlines with insightful, in-depth conversations featuring our reporters and editors, leading experts, key stakeholders and big newsmakers.Fresh episodes drop every Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. right in your local news feed — and on the show's dedicated website: closerlookpodcast.ca.

Deb’s all for this. Are you?Plus – Ontario’s NDP leader weighs in on OSAP challenges GUEST: Marit Stiles - Ontario NDP leader

This week on Open Sources Guelph there's tragedy and triumph. First we will head out to B.C. to separate fact from fiction when it comes to events in Tumbler Ridge, which is something we can do thanks to a liberal arts education that the Ontario government is now making more difficult to attain. As for triumph, that's a local matter. We will talk to the newest member of Guelph City Council about some good news stories. This Thursday, February 12, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Tumbler Ridge. There was tragedy in northern B.C. last week when 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar killed nine people and injured 25 others in the worst school shooting in Canadian history. A lot of the controversy has focused on Van Rootselaar's gender orientation, but there's been little focus on her deeply rooted mental health issues, or the limited resources to deal with such things in small communities like Tumbler Ridge. Are we missing the so-called forest for the trees here? Taking the 'Fun' Out of Funding. You can't say that the provincial government isn't working because still over a month before their inevitable return to Queen's Park, they announced changes to funding for post-secondary institutions in Ontario. Say "Hello" to more money and "Goodbye" to the tuition freeze and an OSAP formula were students get more in grants than loans. Doug Ford says you'll be fine if you don't major in "basket weaving", but will we? Waterfowl Play. Last week at Guelph City Council tackled two big deals, one was the re-designation of the old Kortright Waterfowl Park on Niska Road and the other was the final vote to designation the Ontario Reformatory Lands as a heritage district. One of the people trying to make sense of it all was Ward 6 City Councillor Katherine Hauser, and in her Open Sources Guelph debut she will talk about deliberating on these difficult files, and the questions about how much city councillors should be paid. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

« L'État protège la vérité historique » : telle est la teneur d'un amendement à la Constitution de la Fédération de Russie, introduit il y a quelques années, en 2020. Cette constitutionnalisation du rôle du pouvoir dans la définition de ce qu'il faut penser du passé est caractéristique du contrôle de plus en plus étroit imposé aux discours sur l'histoire par le régime de Vladimir Poutine. Comme tous les régimes autoritaires, qui sont d'ailleurs aussi en général nationalistes, celui qui a progressivement été mise en place par V. Poutine depuis 1999 est très soucieux d'imposer sa lecture du passé, d'en écrire une version univoque et obligatoire, qui justifie son existence et qui délégitime les oppositions. C'est d'autant plus nécessaire lorsqu'est lancée une guerre visant à la conquête ou prétendue reconquête d'un territoire, comme c'est le cas avec l'attaque de l'Ukraine depuis un peu plus de 2 ans. La vérité est évidemment toujours la première victime de ce genre d'appropriation de l'histoire par les États... et le cas russe ne fait pas exception.  L'historien Nicolas Werth, spécialiste de la Russie contemporaine, est reçu par Julien Théry dans ce nouvel épisode d'OSAP, "On s'autorise à penser". N. Werth est notamment l'auteur d'un récent petit livre intitulé “Poutine historien” dans la collection des Tracts de Gallimard et d'un article, paru en mars 2024 dans le magazine "L'Histoire", sur "Poutine professeur d'histoire". Il nous explique comment le régime actuel réécrit le passé de la Russie en valorisant la période stalinienne et surtout brejnévienne de l'URSS. Comme Staline lorsqu'il fut mis en difficulté par l'attaque d'Hitler, Poutine met en avant la Russie éternelle et son histoire glorieuse face aux attaques et à la décadence de l'Occident.  Depuis la rentrée 2023, de nouveaux manuels scolaires ont été imposés dans les classes de première et de terminale, qui donnent la version officielle de la guerre d'Ukraine, présentée non comme telle (parler de "guerre" est puni par la loi) mais comme une "opération spéciale" pour faire pièce à a menace nazie contre les populations russophones du pays. Ces manuels recommandent aussi aux jeunes russes de se méfier des informations diffusées sur internet par un "Occident collectif" corrompu et hostile à la Russie.

À l'évidence du racisme d'État subi en France par les les populations issues de l'immigration non européenne, le déni habituel consiste à objecter qu'il n'existe pas de discriminations qui soient inscrites dans les lois. Le politiste Olivier Le Cour Grandmaison, dans un livre récemment publié par les éditions Amsterdam, « Racisme d'État, État raciste : une brève histoire », montre que le racisme systémique est effectivement entretenu par les institutions sans pour autant apparaître dans l'ordre juridique. Il n'y a pas en France de #racisme qui soit légal ; nulle discrimination en fonctions des origines, de la culture ou de l'apparence physique n'est formellement inscrite dans nos lois. Mais dans la pratique, le racisme est une réalité vécue en permanence, au quotidien, par les populations issues de l'immigration non européenne... sans que les autres en aient nécessairement conscience. Toutes les enquêtes confirment cette évidence, qu'elles portent sur les pratiques de la police bien sûr, ou sur les discriminations à l'embauche, au logement, etc. Le Défenseur des droits a reconnu le problème à plusieurs reprises. Et l'État français a été condamné à plusieurs reprises en la matière, aussi bien par la justice française que par des instances européennes.  Malgré cela, les idées de « racisme systémique » et de « racisme d'État » restent hautement polémiques. Toute la droite les rejette bien sûr, mais aussi une partie de la gauche (ou supposée gauche). La négation de l'existence même d'un racisme structurel va naturellement de pair aujourd'hui avec la respectabilisation accélérée du Rassemblement national et de ses obsessions sur l'immigration. Pour faire le point là-dessus, le politiste #OlivierLeCourGrandmaison, historien et politiste à l'Université d'Évry, qui vient de publier un livre intitulé « Racismes d'État, États racistes : une brève histoire » (éd. Amsterdam) est l'invité de JulienThéry dans ce numéro d'OSAP, « On s'autorise à penser ».
