  • Bill 27 in Canada Something is fishy but I don’t know what.
    Random episode notes... un edited as usual
    Bill 27, Working for Workers Act, 2021
    Disconnecting from work: Requiring employers with 25 or more employees to have a written policy about employees disconnecting from their job at the end of each workday. The term “disconnecting from work” is proposed to mean not engaging in work-related communications, including emails, telephone calls, video calls or the sending or reviewing of other messages, so as to be free from the performance of work.[5]
    No more non-compete agreements: Banning the use of non-compete agreements, with one significant exception.  In the context of a sale of business or part of a business, where the seller becomes an employee of the purchaser, they would be permitted to enter into an agreement that prohibits the seller from engaging in any business, work, occupation, profession, project or other activity that is in competition with the purchaser’s business after the sale.[6]
    Removing Canadian experience requirements: Removing barriers, such as Canadian experience requirements, for internationally trained individuals to get licenced in certain regulated professions and get access to jobs that match their qualifications and skills, through amendments to the Fair Access to Regulated Professions and Compulsory Trades Act, 2006.[7] However, regulated professions would still be required to ensure they comply with any regulations respecting English or French language proficiency testing requirements.
    Licensing recruiting and temporary help agencies: Requiring recruiters and temporary help agencies to have a licence to operate in the province. Licenses would be issued by the Director of Employment Standards, and would be for a term of one-year at a time. Bill 27 proposes a regime for license suspension, revocation, and review for any suspension or revocation, including by way of proceeding before the Ontario Labour Relations Board.
    Requiring washroom availability for delivery workers: Requiring business owners to allow delivery workers to use a company’s washroom if they are delivering or picking up items by way of amendment to the Occupational Health and Safety Act.[8] Proposed exceptions to the rule are: if providing access would not be reasonable or practical for reasons relating to the health or safety of any person at the workplace, including the worker who requests to use a washroom; if providing access would not be reasonable or practical having regard to all the circumstances, including, but not limited to, the nature of the workplace, the type of work at the workplace, the conditions of work at the workplace, the security of any person at the workplace and the location of the washroom within the workplace; or if the washroom is in or can only be accessed through a dwelling.[9]

  • streaming in schools future jobs from the past
    Should they just retool the streaming and opportunities aligned with it? Yes! that my view any. Why doesn’t Ontario bring back all of the trades in high schools like woodworking welding sewing cooking proper financial advice for young adults here styling and so on? Some of these trades will be needed more than others and there are new ones that are more technical that are becoming prevalent in society that students could be taught like 3-D printing, understanding the cloud world in computers, analytics and algorithms, construction
    Ontario students entering Grade 9 in September 2022 will no longer be offered the option of taking applied or academic courses.
    In previous years, high school students were asked to choose between more practical, hands-on applied courses and more theoretical academic courses in core subjects like math, science and English.
    However, advocates have long argued that streaming ends up dividing students rather than providing them more options and disproportionately impacts racialized and low-income students.
    "Ontario was the only province in Canada that streamed kids into two different streams of learning, applied and academic," Education Minister Stephen Lecce said Thursday afternoon.
    "I believe we should not be the outlier. We want to make sure that every single child, irrespective of their background, their ethnicity, their faith, every child has an equal shot of succeeding."
    This year, the government implemented a new merged math course for Ontario high school students that focused on coding and financial literacy.
    The new Ontario math course was the first step in the province's decision to phase out streaming for all Grade 9 subjects. At the time, no timeline was provided regarding when the rest of the courses would be merged.
    On Thursday, officials confirmed on background that streaming will officially end for Grade 9 students beginning in September of next year.
    This will affect science, geography, English and French as a second language course.
    The de-streamed science course will touch on the usual biology, chemistry, physics and earth and space sciences; however, officials say there will also be a focus on developing and refining STEM skills. Officials also said that core French will continue to be offered for students with little or no knowledge of the language.
    No additional course changes were released.
    At this time, streaming is still expected to remain in place for Grade 10 students. However, officials also confirmed on background that the ministry of education will be releasing additional materials for the 2022-23 academic and applied mathematics curriculum that will help with the transition from the de-streamed course to the streamed courses

  • Stop Changing Yourself Just To Be Accepted

    Why do people change their words, image, beliefs, and behaviour just to be accepted?

    In this episode of You’re Probably Right, MCM talks about people pleasing, social pressure, image insecurity, workplace politics, public opinion, faith, and the fear of saying the wrong thing.

    The bigger question is simple:

    How much of yourself are you willing to give up just to be liked, hired, approved, applauded, or left alone?

    MCM looks at the pressure to fit in, the difference between real values and public image, and why people sometimes perform a version of themselves just to survive socially.

    This conversation moves through cancel culture, sports, entertainment, workplace hierarchy, status symbols, public figures, insecurity, faith, humility, sacrifice, and the uncomfortable gap between what people say they believe and how they actually live.

    If you have ever felt pressure to shrink, switch up, stay quiet, perform, or become more acceptable to others, this episode is for you.

  • Crabs in a Bucket: Why Some Communities Struggle to Move Forward

    Why is it so hard for some people, families, and communities to get ahead?


    In this episode of You’re Probably Right, MCM reflects on the “crabs in a bucket” mentality, competition, jealousy, community struggle, and the difficult question of whether people really pull together when help is needed.


    This is a raw and honest episode about progress, culture, identity, systems, personal responsibility, and the tension between blaming outside forces and looking honestly at what happens inside a community.


    MCM asks whether the problem is the system, the people, the habits, the mindset, or some uncomfortable combination of all of it.


    The conversation moves through togetherness, competition, ambition, music, sports, image, shoes, cars, status, and the ways people sometimes measure success by what others can see instead of what actually builds stability.


    This episode also reflects on why some countries, communities, or groups seem to move faster individually, but may lose something when it comes to collective support.


    The bigger question is simple:


    Are we helping each other climb, or are we pulling each other back down?


    This episode was recorded through technical difficulties, so it may feel more rough and disjointed than usual. But sometimes even the rough conversations still carry something worth thinking about.


    If you have ever wondered why progress can feel so difficult, why people compete when they should cooperate, or why some communities struggle to turn talent into lasting stability, this episode is for you.

  • Why Michael “Can’t Read” and What School Got Wrong

    This title is a play on the old phrase “Why Johnny Can’t Read.” Michael can read. The real question is what happens when a school system misreads a student.

    In this episode of You’re Probably Right, MCM reflects on reading struggles, school streaming, destreaming, education, talent, fairness, and what happens to students who do not fit neatly into the system.

    This conversation is personal.

    MCM looks back on his own experience as a student in the GTA, from feeling lost in class to being misunderstood, underestimated, or written off by people who may not have understood what was really going on.

    But this is bigger than one story.

    The episode wrestles with hard questions about education and society:

    Do we want fairness, or do we sometimes pretend differences in ability, support, and preparation do not exist?

    Can schools remove barriers without pretending every student needs the same path?

    What happens when kids fall behind long before anyone builds a real plan to help them catch up?

    MCM talks about reading, confidence, school streaming, destreaming, equity, talent, summer support, educational assistants, family circumstances, and the difference between giving students opportunity and pretending every student starts from the same place.

    If you have ever struggled in school, raised a child who learns differently, worked with students, or wondered whether the education system really knows how to help kids before they fall too far behind, this episode is for you.

    Canada’s largest public school board has voted unanimously to make COVID-19 vaccines mandatory for staff, trustees and visitors.
    The Toronto District School Board made the announcement on Thursday morning, saying its trustees voted in favour of a mandatory policy at last night’s school board meeting.
    The school board says it’s now in the hands of TDSB staff to come up with a plan on how it will work. Staff will develop a procedure for all workers, trustees, and visitors. They all must be fully vaccinated, and will be required to disclose and provide proof of their vaccination status.
