Part 1 is about an issue that couldn’t be more relevant or timely for millions of families: the reopening of our schools. To discuss what it will take to get teachers and students back to school safely in this pandemic, we have special guest Liz Stuart.

Liz is President of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association, representing 45,000 educators in elementary and secondary schools. She’s had a more than 20-year teaching career, brings a breadth of teacher and political activism to the job and is known for keeping her membership at the heart of everything she does.

So, we’re going to tackle the issue that’s on so many minds: How do we get children back to school in September? Should we be getting children back to school in September? Is it safe for them? Safe for teachers and support staff? Safe for parents in the petri-dish of life at home? And what needs to be done to make it so.

On Part 2 ... it’s the #PoliticalPanel with Jenni Byrne and Chris Ball. We’ll pick up on the getting our kids back to school question. Plus, we’ll also talk about ... What else ... WE! The 3-hour Trudeau grilling in front of the House Finance Committee. How did he handle it? Jenni has some venom, I mean “thoughts” ... then I get bumped from my own podcast!
