Plastic Bags
Premier Dalton McGuinty says Ontario should seriously consider following the example set by Nova Scotia and ban the province’s liquor stores from handing out plastic bags that environmental activists are calling some of the worst in circulation. The Manitoba government announced in March that it had stopped replacing its liquor stores’ supplies of plastic bags, leaving customers with a choice of paper or reusable polypropylene bags. Ontario should look at doing the same thing, McGuinty said Wednesday. “I think we should give that some real consideration,” said McGuinty, adding the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is already trying to be more environmentally responsible with its bottle-return program. “We’re proud of the leadership that the LCBO has shown and working with us in terms of our bottle-return policy. I believe they do issue some kind of canvas bags at this point in time. It’s something that obviously we should take a look at.” What’s your view? Do you think Ontario should take the step and ban plastic bags from the LCBO? How about an outright ban on plastic bags right across the province?
‘The criminal justice system failed David Milgaard’: inquiry’s report

Black-focused schools
A proposal to create Canada’s first black-focused public school was approved by toronto District School Board trustees Tuesday night. They have recommended the creation of an alternative school that features a curriculum and teaching environment oriented around black history and culture. The vote took place after an evening debate on the controversial proposal, which critics believe is a plan for segregation, while supporters believe it could keep more black students in school. Trustees heard from a number of delegations including academics, parents, teachers and students. Some parents have said they want to try something new because the current system isn’t working. As many as 40 per cent of black students don’t graduate from toronto high schools. Do you think Africentric schools are the right approach? What’s your view?

Shakeup in Leaf-land
After weeks of speculation in the media and angry calls from fans, the toronto Maple Leafs have fired John Ferguson Jr., and will bring back Cliff Fletcher as the team’s interim general manager. As first reported on CBCSports.ca by Hockey Night in Canada analyst Elliotte Friedman on Jan. 13, Fletcher, who served as the Leafs’ GM from 1991-97, will replace Ferguson for the duration of the 2007-08 NHL campaign on an interim basis. “After full consideration of the Leafs’ situation, it has become clear that change and a new direction is needed. The decision has been made that John will not be receiving a new contract at the end of this year, and it’s in the best interests of the Leafs and of John to begin the transition immediately,” Richard Peddie, president and chief executive officer of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, said in a statement. A search committee, formed by Peddie and sports attorney Gord Kirke, will be convened to find Ferguson’s full-time replacement for next season. In the meantime, Fletcher takes over as GM. But what’s your view? Did the Leafs wait too long to get rid of Ferguson? Is the 2007-08 season a write-off? Will Maple Leaf coach Paul Maurice be the next to go? Will Mats Sundin finish the season as a Maple Leaf?
