Guests: Kathleen Wynne, Tim Hudak, John Wright, Keith Leslie
This episode of On the Ledge confronts a deeply troubling issue: the lack of accountability and transparency following a violent assault involving Anwar Knight’s son at school. The discussion focuses on Knight’s public appeal for justice, after an 18-month struggle with school board officials, the police, and legal hurdles to get answers and action.
He posted his appeal on Facebook. You can see it here.
The panel unpacks the layers of systemic opacity, privacy shields, and administrative inertia that often frustrate parents and fail vulnerable students.
Former Premier Kathleen Wynne reflects on her experience as a trustee, highlighting how critical leadership and culture are within schools, beyond policy.
Keith Leslie underscores the serious consequences of denying parents access to basic information, while Tim Hudak and John Wright stress the need for more courage and common sense in school administration and governance.
The conversation is wide-ranging but grounded in a central question: How do we ensure schools remain safe, responsive environments for every student? And what needs to change when systems designed to protect kids instead protect institutions?
The OTL crew also discussed:
- The 30th anniversary of Mike Harris’ 1995 win and 40th anniversary of Peterson’s 1985 election.
- John A. McDonald's statue is unveiled at Queen's Park.
- The possibility of new trade frameworks or deals, especially involving the U.S., Canada, and Mexico
- Anticipating the G7 meeting in Kananaskis, Alberta
