Episode 47: Craig Smith and Closed Schools

With two London schools - and likely more to come - closing due to a lack of staffing because of COVID-19, how are teachers feeling about their work environment? Craig Smith, Thames Valley President of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario, joins the podcast to provide his thoughts on what the government and the board could be doing and more. Then (24:52) Craig Needles shares some thoughts on how COVID-19 is impacting the political discourse in Ontario, including the missing Dr. Kieran Moore and why the Liberal mask policy drips with political opportunism.
