There is genuine mismanagement, and then there is Ford underfunding school boards and then blaming the trustees for not balancing their books (on the backs of special needs children primarily), and he doesn't differentiate between the two while he centralises authority over education.

Classic Ford. Blame up, blame down, and when that doesn't work, talk about Donald Trump.

Didn’t the federal government allocate $2 billion to Ontario ( ford government) for education spending that Ford just sat on?

The federal government doesn't pay for education. That's solely a provincial issue.

The federal government made a specific disbursement to the province of Ontario for the provincial government to spend. The Ford government didn’t spend it it

They did during COVID for healthcare. Which is not education.

When education is a threat to your political movement you probably have a shitty political movement.

It's amusing when I've heard people complain that a local high school no longer has shop class. These people don't realize these tech programs are expensive, and thus they voted for this.

This is what happens when we elect as premier an un-curious, undereducated high school dropout who is parent to four similarly underachieving undereducated daughters.

Defund, blame the system, insist privatization is the only answer - because obviously the public option doesn’t work. That’s been the plan.

Correct. The maneuvering is so obvious. The province is fiscally responsible for (a) health, and (b) education. He has systemically starved the first of funding, and now moves to take over management of the second. Shameful.
