Ontario's education unions have officially served notice to bargain.
They're asking for smaller class sizes, more special education supports, and an end to mandatory e-learning.
And this explains exactly why Doug Ford is shutting down Queen's Park for the summer until October.
We've seen this before.
When it comes to education, Ford's government has a history of fighting teachers instead of fixing classrooms. Larger class sizes. Fewer supports. Labour disputes. Constant battles with the people educating our children.
Teachers aren't asking for luxuries. They're asking for the resources needed to help students succeed.
Doug Ford has failed teachers. He has failed parents. He has failed students.
If Ontario is heading toward another work-to-rule campaign or labour unrest this fall, nobody should be surprised. The warning signs are already there.
Instead of showing leadership and investing in public education, this government appears content to disappear until October and hope the problems go away.
The only union Doug Ford supports is the police unions.
Ontario's children deserve better.
@maddiecholette I was keeping an eye on this series and planned to make the trip down if he or Kikuchi were healthy. Didn’t realize he came off the IL yesterday. Got quite emotional when he came in and glad he had a great inning. I’ll be wearing my Manoah t-shirt today and will be a fan always
Watching Manoah have an incredible inning made me a little emotional…especially against the Jays. Wish I could have been there this weekend. Would have been…thought he was still on the IL
@thehazelmae …you just said the Jays didn’t hit their stride until six or seven weeks from now last year (true)…but the elementary school teacher in me cringed so hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 #sixseven#teacherproblems#bluejays50
Me: reading my book because this game is making me fall asleep
Me: looks up. John Schneider is inches from the umps face. Immediately unmutes 🤣 #bluejays50
Note to self: on may long weekend when you went to a jays game, they were TERRIBLE. It’s a long season. Chill out. Queen of spiralling today #bluejays50
