Today @Sflecce referred to the collective voice of Ontarians expressing concern about his flawed reopening plan as "noise" he'll ignore.

This shows utter contempt for the people of this province.
Apologize, Mr. Lecce. Then resign.

To be clear: violent threats are not acceptable. Ok, that's out of the way.

But to characterize legitimate, justifiably harsh criticism as 'bullying' is wrong (oh, poor powerful MoE with full weight of the govt machine behind him) & to dismiss it as mere "noise" is offensive.
*Absurd this even has to be clarified. But, just for the record.

One of the problems (and there are many) with tying post-secondary education funding to the ‘needs of the labour market’ is that it’s question-begging to invoke labour market ‘needs’. The labour market isn’t some naturally evolving ecosystem:

1/5
Policy & legislative decisions are made that (along with a myriad of other variables), shape the labour market, which determines what training is in demand, which in turn reinforces labour conditions.

2/5
E.g., if a govt passes legislation removing paid sick days & blocking a fair min. wage, favours corporate interests, & makes it more difficult for workers to gain fair representation, this shapes the labour market, making the ‘gig economy’ & precarious work look inevitable.
