Your morning news roundup for Wednesday, June 13th, 2007:

If yesterday's sweltering heat wasn't enough of a warning,the City is alerting residents that we're in the middle of a heat wavewhere temperatures will hover around 30C. Which was definitely bad news for someresidents in the east end whose power was cut off yesterdaybecause of a blown transformer. A sign of electrical failures to come?

Of the $84 million that the Toronto District School Board gets for ESL,they're spending only half of that on English programs for newcomers. The rest is spent on essentials like heating schools. Which, instead of simply causing an outcry by MPPs, should actually spur them into giving schools more money for facilities and maintenance.

Whether Porter Airlines succeeds or not, theToronto Port Authority says that the island airport is here to stay. Which doesn't quite make sense if Porter fails: if you have no one flying out of the airport, how are you supposed to keep it afloat?

Your thoughts?
