This right here!!! The results are an accurate snapshot of what education under Ford looks like!
But be clear, they will use this to further erode public education!
@OFLabour
Our kids don't have:
❌Enough qualified EAs & teachers
❌Adequate mental health supports
❌Safe & healthy schools
And yet the Ford govt - which has cut school funding by $1500 per child since 2018 - isn't even spending their whole education budget?
1/2

Thousands of Ontarians have signed this petition to double ODSP and OW rates, yet the govt still refuses to act. The most a single person can receive on ODSP is $1,368. That's not even enough for a studio apartment. We must end this legislative poverty and act now. #onpoli
Many moons ago I said when an EA loses their life to violence in the workplace maybe then we will pay attention but it shouldn’t take that.
A critical injury of this nature needs attention as does every act of violence.
This is the result of chronic underfunding & understaffing
When the Right to Read report came out, teachers called for smaller class sizes, greater support for struggling students, & teacher training to address it. @sflecce paid no attention, & now here we are.
@JillDunlop1 over to you. You can fix this.

I vow my liquor supply will always be purchased at our LCBO which provides billions of dollars per year into public healthcare and education, instead of giving it away to fat-cat retail owners.
Join me and share this pledge. #LCBOpledge

Hear me out - expansion of market is great. So why not open more LCBO kiosks in grocery stores to answer this call?
This would allow more access to market. & keep profits within the public realm.
Oh wait- this isn’t about smaller business, this is about big business buddies
NEW: Over 100 bikers turn out to show their support for 10-year-old Sammy Teusch who took his own life after being bullied for years for his teeth and glasses.
Rest in peace, Sammy.
Sammy's motorcycle escort was hosted by Iron Sharpens Iron Motorcycle Ministry.
His parents were seen weeping by his casket as they said their final goodbyes.
Family and friends shared stories of Sammy including his neighbor Andrew McIntosh who delivered his eulogy.
"Right there in my hallway was a handsome little boy that I swear could have been pulled right out of an Andy Griffith episode or a Norman Rockwell painting."
"I knew immediately that my son had made a good friend."
"He just looked up at me sweating, those glasses that rose up on his cheeks over a smile that was way too big for his little face."
"But when he did smile, and I mean really smile, he just seemed to suck the darkness out of every corner in the room."
Devastating.
In 1994 Nicole Brown Simpson was brutally murdered. OJ Simpson got to live another 30 years before dying today from cancer at 76. Nobody was ever convicted of killing her but everyone knows who did it!
Rather than focusing exclusively on him, let’s take a second to remember her!
York U’s refusal to bargain is hurting both students and workers. Students deserve a high quality education, and that's what we're fighting for. @YorkUniversity come back to the table and negotiate a fair contract, so we can get back to the classroom!

For the past 6 years this government has undermined and underfunded our education system, causing the teacher shortage we are facing today.
What we need now is a plan from this government on how they will fix the damage they have caused.

Each unhoused person is someone’s child, with a story of how they got to the streets.
It’s not enough to pull them out of the water, we need to find out why they are falling in.
@ToddSmithPC @Ryan_r_Williams where are you?

Are you prepping to share the love tomorrow for Valentine’s Day?
Don’t forget to drop a love note to @Sflecce & @MichaelParsa asking them to show some respect to the 60000 kids that are still on the waitlist &/or not receiving supports in our schools!
Great campaign @OntAutism!
