News

In this episode, my special political pundit panel have a look back at what they consider were some of the top stories of 2023 when it comes to municipal and school district issues.In Part 1 of this podcast we begin to countdown the top 10 stories that we feel are noteworthy for this year for a variety of different reasons. According to my guests, there were no shortage of stories to choose from!The panels consists of New Westminster Councillor Paul Minhas, Trustee Danielle Connelly and School Trustee candidate Kathleen Carlsen. Be sure to tune in and reflect back with our panel on 2023...the year where New West generated lots of province-wide media stories!

It all started with a fake Twitter account set up by a local civic politician in New Westminster. After a bit of sleuthing by a couple of local parents, it led to a resignation. Now we're about to invest a significant amount of School District dollars to undertake a by-election.In this episode, we sit down with trustee candidate Kathleen Carlsen to find out why she thinks Community First 'needs a time out' in the upcoming by-election. We also learn some interesting details about Carlsen's past which ends the show on a positive 'note'!

The Prince George district school board will have two new faces after this weekend

This week an overview of the growing Moving on Marion bike lane controversy, after we went back to the streets of St. Boniface to continue our investigation. Marty Gold explains: What is Moving on Marion and why should I care? The Basics: Bike paths and concrete bumpouts all along Marion and Goulet will cut Route 115 down to 2 lanes each. This will result in a loss of 99 parking spaces from Traverse (for a bike lane that isn't in the 'official' Active Transportation plan), and from Marion between the Marion Hotel & Tache. The Open House on March 16 did not mention 99 parking spaces would be sacrificed, or the effects on area enterprises. Goulet will lose the priority AM bus lane, slowing bus service with no Park and Ride planned to reduce traffic to and from downtown. There have been 3 public consultations in the last two years. Each meeting was sparsely attended and barely advertised. Only 5 of the 60 residents and business owners we have spoken to, had even heard of 'Moving on Marion', let alone the bike lane idea. At each public meeting the consultants hired by the City of Winnipeg were unable to answer questions about specifics and supplied only simple- minded generalizations of "liveability". (Reducing property taxes when the bike lane cuts across your yard? They didn't think of that.) ** YOU CAN SUPPORT TGCTS via Paypal ⁠⁠⁠https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/MartyGoldMedia⁠⁠ ** In Episode 20, Marty explains what we know about the role of St. B Councilor Matt Allard, and reviews comments from his former assistant, now School Trustee, Ryan Palmquist who claimed the previous Biz Executive Director was “one of the key champions of this vision.” He tried to dissuade the public from believing our reports or from financially supporting our independent investigation. Here's why you should- The Norwood Grove Biz was unaware they were being leveraged by the consultants against the community. The Biz is scheduling a meeting to notify their members what is going on and find out what they think- a step the City conveniently skipped. The Biz previously stated that if Marion remained a truck route, a bike lane idea was a non-starter. It seems there was a problem at the Biz and the new ED is moving fast to fix it. Kudos. Most importantly, there's no evidence the St. Boniface Hospital and/or the WRHA were consulted or notified of any plans that would hinder emergency vehicles and general access to Winnipeg's second largest hospital. Staff of the hospital, patients, and families park in this area. There are serious healthcare implications along Goulet for seniors in adjacent highrises, for health care workers attending the Access Centre, and for HandiTransit. Everyone should care that the Open House didn't mention those concerns. You'll hear what Marty was told by the affected homeowners and renters, businesses and services in the Dollard neighborhood who Matt Allard has failed to represent. They complain of being left in the dark, stonewalled, told to move, and of their councilor's silence. Our reporting makes clear, up to 90% surveyed did not know what was being planned and are opposed. What did Coun. Schreyer and Coun. Browaty say about a decade ago about unacceptable tactics by consultants? Yet it is happening AGAIN. Will your neighborhood be targetted next? The disarray in the Biz, combined with the lack of a Dollard Blvd. area resident group, opened the door for the "public consultation" process being highjacked by the radical anti-car bike lobby. City Hall cheats taxpayers to help them do it - while the media looks the other way. Part 2 - 22:38 Marty speaks of the passing of his longtime friends Kaz Bednarczyk of Kaz Graphics, and former wrestling champion Mike Phillips who competed locally as Sgt. Tom Steele and was seen on CTV nationally as JR Bundy. Part 3 - 27:51 Crime Courts and Public Safety: Bodies found in fires, teen shot outside KP Mall.

My guest this week is Michael Burns, a school trustee candidate for School District 54 in the beautiful Bulkley Valley of Northern BC. He is married to Anna and together they have three young children. He is President of Pioneer Exploration Consultants, Ltd.

Michael is one of many school trustee candidates across the country seeking to bring academic excellence back to the classroom and to restore to parents the oversight of social and moral content.You can contact Michael or ask questions by writing to him at:Michaelggburns@gmail.com

My two guests this week are Barry Neufeld, School Trustee for 26 years in Chilliwack, BC and his lawyer, Paul Jaffe, who will be taking their case to the Supreme Court of Canada in October. Barry is defending his reputation and his freedom of speech against the defamatory character attacks of Glen Hansman, former President of the BC Teachers' Federation. This case is critical. If an elected school trustee can be silenced by the LGBTQ lobby groups, then no parent, teacher or elected official can expect his or her rights to be protected by Canada's Charter and highest court.A court document with a brief overview of the defamation case may be found here:https://www.scc-csc.ca/WebDocuments-DocumentsWeb/39796/MM020_Respondent_Barry-Neufeld.pdfDonations to Barry's legal costs may be made by e-transfer to: TRUSTYNeufeld@gmail.comor by donating to his GiveSendGo pagehttps://givesendgo.com/G352V

This episode is an interview with Zakaria Abdulle, a childhood friend of mine who ran for School Trustee in northwest Toronto in 2018. In this episode we discuss coming from humble beginnings, running for office in grade 8; how Jungle (a nickname for our neighbourhood) helped both of us explore our leadership abilities; how help shows up in the most unexpected ways; and how alive and well white, Christian privilege is in the city of Toronto.

Last year an elected school board official in Ontario, Canada, called Charline Grant the N-word. Then that official refused to resign and blamed 'old age' and 'dementia' for her use of the N-word.  Charline battled the school board until a resignation happened and then she took it upon herself to run for School Trustee.  She's a trail blazer, who is giving voice to the struggles that Black students and parents face on a daily basis in the education system.  This is her story, it's my story and it's the story of the Black experience in education and how we have to educate the system to work for us. We reference a few reports in this podcast that you should read. The first is a report by Dr. Carl James called Towards Race in Education.  If you are a teacher, if you are a Black parent, if you are someone interested in education or human rights...read this report.  You can't read it and not be appalled by what it says and the outcomes for Black students in Toronto, Canada. Another report to read is the Under Suspicion report, put out by the Ontario Human Rights Commission. It talks about racial profiling in general- but also spends time focusing on racial profiling in Education.   You can follow Charline Grant on twitter at:  @charlineGrant
