Drug Fraud's attacks on education and healthcare begin in earnest

 Ford has advised a hiring freeze for school boards (link goes to Reddit, sorry! But the Star article is behind a paywall), despite claiming that nurses and teachers were exempt from the hiring freeze back in the summer. I for one am shocked—shocked, I say—that he would lie about this. Meanwhile, one hospital has already cut jobs, which as we all know is a great way to reduce hallway medicine by ensuring that hospitals are dangerous staph infection vectors and patients choose to die at home, if they're lucky enough to have one. Otherwise, I'm sure clothing donation bins will do nicely.

Meanwhile, the Ontario College of Teachers, which as far as I know does nothing for the fees they extract from every teacher in the province beyond releasing a glossy waste of trees, wrapped in plastic, that publishes educator misbehaviour and otherwise sits on top of everyone's toilets, is now officially an arm of the Ford government. So not only are we paying taxes for off-the-books RVs, teachers pay an extra fee to be screwed harder.

And the Charter challenge against the Tories was dismissed, with an interesting legal argument: There was nothing that prevented teachers from talking about consent, gender and sexuality, and so on. This, despite Ford's threat to punish teachers who did so.

So this morning is going great, thanks for asking.
