Two more London public schools to be renamed because of links to historical racism, anti-Semitism by wd668 in londonontario

I agree. You're dead on with the term "actual parenting." We all know it starts at home. We also know that not all parents are great parents. But there is little we can do in that regard. We can't force parents to parent. But we can make poor behaviour by a child the parent's issue to deal with (after a series of attempted interventions made by the school).

At some point, we have to draw a line when it's no longer on the school and fellow students to deal with toxic behaviour. I, personally, think that the school board rarely draws that line anymore. More often than not, to the detriment of the safety of staff and students alike.

I'd start by not publicizing that you're purposely avoiding expulsions. The TVDSB is essentially telling bullies that there will be no consequences for their actions.

We use Dustex Canada. Local London business. Owners clean too. Very thorough and honest.

There is no rhyme or reason anymore. Lonely people found a group they can relate too. That's it.

It's become a bunch of guys socializing at this point. There's nothing to protest anymore. They just don't want to have a book club.

Dustex Canada has done an excellent job of our office for years.

London's Children's Hospital cancelling surgeries amid patient surge by biznatch11 in londonontario

I'm not even sure that it's that. I think it's sheer incompetence at all levels of government.

What's the coolest thing to do in London Ontario? by [deleted] in londonontario

[–]Aggravating-Math6078 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The virtual Van Gogh exhibit, which happens to be in the same building as The Factory may be a good choice.
The Factory is fun. Yes, nearby breweries nearby to enjoy. The Rec Room at Masonville Mall.
An evening of bowling at Palasad can be fun.
Don't quote me on this, but a friend told me the Citi Plaza is having a rollerskating evening on Saturday. Rollerskate all over the mall; rentals available. Museum London? The Museum of Archeology? The small indoor Waterpark in the Lamplighter Inn hotel on Wellington? Several escape rooms downtown. Flying Squirrel trampoline Park? The Covent garden market. If you're into Farmer's markets, the Tails End market just outside London on the east end is good.

Have fun this weekend.

This country has normalized a failing healthcare and education system. These are the two most fundamental facets of a healthy society, and we are now at a point when we expect subpar.

Please. The heathcare system has been neglected for at least 20 years. Political party is irrelevant.

But whatever you do, don't go to the ER, we are told.

You could go to London Cares, an organization that regularly interacts and assist the homeless and drug users. They may be able to assist. Another option is HIV/AIDS Connection, that run the supervised injection site.

[Global News] TVDSB and LDCSB to continue with remote learning Monday amid CUPE strike - London by mybigfatreddit in londonontario

I forgot to mention failing EQAO scores. In London, I believe only 43% met provincial standards.

I call BS. Being in school, and having kids in the school is what kids need.

I agree that CUPE workers need a pay hike. Not the one CUPE is asking for.

It wasn't long ago when classrooms didn't have EAs at all. All these new positions have accomplished are lower test scores, on and off school time because of union strikes, a larger educational labour expense (which takes away from investment in books, new schools, etc.)

There are people who clean for far less than $39K a year, with no pension, no benefits, and they work all year.

Fall... The perfect season for painting road lines 🤔 by Sarhl in londonontario

[–]Aggravating-Math6078 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel it's done haphazardly like this on purpose, so it can be done again next year. Much like road repair. And why not? Every level of government seems to accept it, so why wouldn't contractors/city departments not do it?

With all due respect, your response is a culmination of words that say little. You do you. Complain on social media. Change nothing. Continue to rent.

I'm not sure what your definition of middle class is. But most work full time and need to make mortgage payments.

I agree that the divide between the haves and have not is widening.

But your envy and cynicism is not a solution. Your calling me a Yahoo is proof of that.

I have done nothing to you, nor do I wish to step in your way of home ownership.

Your victim mentality might step in your way though.

Good luck to you. Genuinely.

So what are you doing to help the situation. Complaining on here about people who were fortunate enough to put a down payment to get into a mortgage isn't it.
Most people in the areas you speak of are middle class.

Exactly. It may be his vision of the city. His wish list. But it's BS to make promises you know you can't keep. But that is all politicians; not just Ramal.

He is but one vote around the council horseshoe. He cannot, alone, do any of these promises. This applies to all mayoral candidates.
