Ottawa Now - 7-in-10 Ontarians fear that Ford's push to eliminate trustees won't yield positive results, per Abacus poll

According to a new survey from Abacus Data, Ontarians are skeptical of Premier Doug Ford’s push to eliminate school board trustees. The survey polled 2,000 Ontarians for CUPE Ontario.
