Education in Quebec is facing one of its toughest years yet as school boards are grappling with deep budget cuts for the 2025-26 school year. The provincial government has mandated a massive $570 million reduction across school service centres—forcing boards to rethink staffing, vital programs, and day-to-day operations. In response, the Quebec English School Boards Association is gearing up for a legal challenge, and several boards—including the English Montreal School Board—are likely joining in. Judy Kelley, Chairperson of the Lester B. Pearson School Board, spoke to Andrew Carter.

The Andrew Carter Morning Show with Ken Connors (Friday March 13, 2026)

With tensions in the Middle East raising concerns about global oil supply, many experts are asking whether energy shocks like this could accelerate the shift to cleaner power. While countries in Asia rely heavily on oil from the Persian Gulf, Canada produces a lot of its own energy but we’re still tied to global oil prices that affect what we pay at the pump. So could disruptions like this push Canada to invest more heavily in renewable energy, electric vehicles and energy independence? Renewable energy investment strategist Pavel Molchanov from Raymond James spoke to Ken Connors.
