Thanks @HydroOne for setting the bar nice and low with a 4pm tomorrow estimate for restoring our power only to overachieve and restore it 19h earlier than expected. You compelled us to go out for ice cream to cool down on our way home from gassing up the generator. 💗 Thank you.

@OfficialJLD what a zinger! - in Canada and just turned on the #DNCConvention2020 for the first time to see your face and to appreciate your stinging commentary. Thanks for the smile. 💗

@StephenAtHome and @jimmyfallon don't take this the wrong way or anything, but we are 2 Canadians who are doing #SocialDistancing and we are loving your audience-free shows. You were doing fine earlier, but you being solo makes it easier for us to be solo. #COVIDー19 ❤️😆

Preparing for tomorrow. #osstf #strike #NoCutsToEducation #onpoli #cutshurtkids @HarveyBischof.
Also @Sflecce @fordnation: enough is enough. Stop lying and start negotiating. Will @AmyFeePC @KarahaliosPC @mikeharrisjrpc @erniehardeman be brave enough to show up at work tomorrow?

Joining my #francophone colleagues and my own kids' teachers today on the picket line. By choice and not for my own comfort. #worthit #osstf #aefo #onted #onpoli #NoCutsToEducation #stoplecci #esmb @HarveyBischof @OSSTFDistrict24

@Sflecce @fordnation @samoosterhoff wait what? It's comical to see you guys try to do choices and make words.
Instead try this:
Locate meeting room
Find door
Find doorknob
Turn & push OR pull (tricky)
Enter room
Sit & talk to @HarveyBischof and #OSSTF waiting at table.

You'd admit you're not Supermen & you can't comm. with all, but please chat with me. I'm no Superwoman, but I can't tolerate villains preying on innocent kids. It's actual harm you're doing. I'd like you to own that

@fordnation
@samoosterhoff
@Sflecce #onpoli #hereforstudents in order to prove that it's not an insurmountable task to adequately address the needs of all the people for whom you are responsible, you do really need to reply. #osstf #hereforstudents @HarveyBischof

[BrightBlaak @BrightBlaak]

Silence proves you lack time & effort & a big heart to support everyone. Just like more voters asking for your ear each day (impossible to speak to all), larger class sizes render quality comm. & ed. impossible.

@BrianBest Unless you consider direction of flow .... Gosh. The ego of the GTA. :) https://t.co/XtmMkGxc8p

@Troy_Malekith @Swizzcapz @zibzer @Travisdhanraj @osstf @ETFOeducators @AEFO_ON_CA @OECTAProv @globalnewsto eLearning is ineffective - failure rates are absurd and students are opting for in-school credits bc of the lack of face-to-face support and personalized Ed available as they contend with learning alongside teachers - this rich process takes time but in jeopardy w/larger classes.

[BrightBlaak @BrightBlaak]

@Troy_Malekith @Swizzcapz @zibzer @Travisdhanraj @osstf @ETFOeducators @AEFO_ON_CA @OECTAProv @globalnewsto Citizens vote. Elections affect students &you &me. Loss of one teacher = loss of his/her 6 courses = those students get packed into fewer, less specialized, bigger classes = fewer opportunities = limited post-secondary options = limited job prospects = economic hit = bad for all.

@ThePHSLibrary #wrdsbSummerReads starts now. Here we go!

[BrightBlaak @BrightBlaak]

#STEM = #STEAM. When #BobRoss enters #STEMenglish, we paint and disrupt comfort to see for the first time; #innovation demands new perspectives to #challenge what we think we know. THIS is where learning looks like fun. @wrdsb @Preston_Panther @calliesockett #ExperientialLearning

We were braced for deep cuts, but no one was prepared for the level of irresponsibility and outright cruelty in Ford's budget.

Instead of investments in health care, education and more opportunities for children — Ford is focused on booze and sticking a partisan ad on your car.

[Harvey Bischof @HarveyBischof]

The Ford government is rolling out the red carpet for companies that want to privatize Ontario’s education system.

@fordnation @LisaThompsonMPP @AndreaHorwath #oxfordvoicesforeducation has sent @erniehardeman some info for him to read to the legislative assembly tomorrow before the budget vote. Please ask him about it. #CutsHurtKids #classsizematters #NoCutsToEducation forever yours, kb

Intro to protest sign etiquette. Because kids: "your sign is not a weapon. The weapon is in the words. Let their ideas cut the air."
