Alternate take: Fifty-nine school authorities will continue to struggle to offer consistent mental health supports. This piecemeal approach to funding makes it hard for school boards to attract, train, and retain the quality staff needed to deliver effective programming.

My thoughts on the potential stoppage on Canada's rail network. Like many Canadians, I am deeply concerned about the prospect of a work stoppage on our railroads starting this evening. A strike or lockout will have a devastating impact on workers and on the Canadian economy.
