Where Did the Kids Go? The School Mystery, Teacher Shake‑Up & Stupid of The Day

Mark Towhey digs into Canada’s mysterious drop in public‑school enrolment—fewer kids in Grade 1 than Grade 12—and explores whether families are shifting to private schools, homeschooling, or simply having fewer children. He also tackles Ontario’s debate over shortening teachers’ college. On “Stupid of the Day” he  highlights the province’s stagnant welfare rates, previews the day’s top CTV News stories, and opens the phones for a lively “Swipe Left” round of dating dealbreakers.
