Government had plenty of time to prepare for and prevent the flooding of Ottawa and Gatineau, yet, no matter the level, it has done little to help the victims of the flood.

In mid-April the Ottawa River was rising and by early May it was still rising at an unprecedented rate. By May 4th, areas were already flooding and it was abundantly clear Ottawa was in for a hefty load of rain

Closing schools result of failed Liberal Education plan and unsustainable promise to Catholics...

The Green Party of Ontario does not believe it's necessary to close public schools in local communities when other fiscal alternatives exist, like ending duplication by merging the Catholic and Public School Boards in Ontario. $1.5 Billion annual savings is sufficient to keep local community schools open, bring back specialty teachers for gym, music and art, and invest in more classroom resources.

Liberals sacrificing local schools to keep unsustainable promise to one religious group...

Green Party of Ontario leader Mike Schreiner is restating the party’s call for a moratorium on school closures until the government fixes the funding formula. The GPO also supports investing more money in classrooms and community schools by ending duplication in the public and separate school boards.
