https://www.cbc.ca/lite/story/9.7143584 "The budget also allocates $41 million over three years for a provincewide school resource officer program, after Bill 33 was passed in November. Ottawa’s largest school board cut the program in 2021 after racialized and 2SLGBTQ+ students raised concerns about the presence of police officers in schools." "(In January 2025, Ottawa police launched a new program assigning one officer to each of Ottawa’s four districts, but not to specific schools.)" Hey look, it's provincial money for Ottawa transit that could be immediately re-allocated in the proposed budget without harming anyone (and in fact, while keeping schools safer for marginalized kids)! #ottawa #onpoli
