The Ford government is obsessed with turning TVO into a profit-focused, online education platform, so they can replace real, in-person learning with online learning in Ontario classrooms — to continue cuts to education spending — but then to also sell the education modules they are creating in the US market and abroad.

That’s why the business objectives outlined in a letter from earlier this year from Education Minister Stephen Lecce (TVO is under the Ministry of Education), makes zero mention of journalism.

The Ford government intends to kill TVO’s journalism so it can double down on online learning in Ontario classrooms and other profit-making schemes.
