I asked the provinces if they think housing is a human right, and plan to make rules protecting that right. Quebec sent this:

Heading to work this morning enjoying listening to @petercbc Peter Cowan hosting World Report on CBC Radio from St. John's. Tonight, we have The National from Vancouver. Truly a national network.

And p.s. — The Globe was able to tell this story because the company did business in Newfoundland which "has the most open freedom of information system in the country." This type of information is hidden/nearly impossible to get elsewhere. Get angry about that #SecretCanada
In another example, the company invoiced government $1.6-million in meal allowances for nurses, even though the company’s contracts with nurses required them to pay for their own food. The Globe found no evidence of this money being distributed to nurses. theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

In modern society, possessing math skills is essential. The latest assessment of the math skills of 15-year-olds by the OECD for Canada and its provinces may be a cause of concern or pride. Quebeckers should be pleased; NLers should be concerned. We are dead last! #nlpoli @GovNL
