Short of outright civil disobedience, the ARC process just formalizes the outcome sought by the provincial government ... they set the rules and determine the framework that leads to school closures. There is a saying that applies to delegated powers in our system of government: the engineer [i.e. board] drives the train, but the train goes where the tracks lead. The ARC process simply offers the board and provincial government a means to engage in consultation so they can claim to have done it ... most people don't see the total picture until the process is in its late stages and then they are told its too late. We need to be more disruptive of the process itself ... call it the farce that it is and force our provincial government and MPPs (or provincial candidates) to state where they stand firmly.
