The TDSB's Plan to Rename Three Schools

from Fight Back with Libby Znaimer · host Zoomer Podcast Network

TUNE INTO THE TOWN: MAYOR CHOW'S BUDGET APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL Libby Znaimer is joined by Taylor Scollon, Co-Founder of The Peak, Jon Burnside, City Councillor for Ward 16 (Don Valley East), and James Pasternak, City Councillor for Ward 6 York Centre. This week: City Council approved Mayor Olivia Chow's budget that includes the 6.9 percent property tax increase for residents. We discuss that and more municipal news of the week. THE TDSB WANTS A NAME CHANGE FOR THREE OF ITS SCHOOLS Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Patrice Dutil, Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at Toronto Metropolitan University. There is still more to talk about with the TDSB. It is pushing ahead with a plan to rename three schools that carry the names of Sir John A. Macdonald, Egerton Ryerson, and Henry Dundas. A group of prominent historians is asking Doug Ford to intervene and prevent this. What do you think? Is this yet another attempt to push a woke ideology or a justified reevaluation of historical figures? THE GTA'S MAJOR WINTER STORM: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Libby Znaimer is joined by Sgt. Kerry Schmidt of the OPP Highway Safety Division and Gerald Chang, Meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada. The GTA experienced a major winter storm overnight. We get an update on our highway driving conditions and the kind of snow we can expect to get for the remainder of the season.
