If you’re a high school student in Ontario, and you want the keys to your graduation credentials, you will need to pass a Financial Literacy Test. To be more specific, a result of 70% or better.

Good move by the Ford government, or not going far enough? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, the controversial ‘Bubble Bylaw’ has received the green light from Ottawa City Council. The bylaw now restricts demonstrations within 50 metres of schools, places of worship, hospitals, and residential care facilities.
