Alberta And Ontario Pushing For A Back-To-Basics Approach In Classrooms
Education shakeups, trade tensions, and government spending questions headline today's After 9.
Scott opens with a look at education policy as Danielle Smith pushes a back-to-basics approach in Alberta, aiming to remove political ideology from classrooms. Meanwhile in Ontario, a new rule will require students to pass a financial literacy course to graduate.
On the international front, Mark Carney downplays rising Canada–U.S. trade tensions, but comments from Jamieson Greer and Howard Lutnick suggest there's more beneath the surface.
Plus, Scott digs into two eyebrow-raising stories: millions spent on the PrescribeIT program with little to show, and Canada's so-called "spaceport" that may be nothing more than an expensive concrete pad.
