Excited to be putting my name forward for EO at #ampa21. If you're #osstf I'd love to hear from you. Reach out here, on FB, or by email.

It seems pertinent to point out that Doug Ford's government cancelled curriculum re-writing sessions with residential school survivors in 2018 + shut down the office of the child advocate, who investigated deaths of kids in foster care, a disproportionate # of whom are Indigenous

Canada is an unmarked mass gravesite.

@JeffLemire I'm looking for your print 'Gord Downie'. Is there a spot I can still get one? Thx.

[René Jansen in de Wal, OECTA President @OECTAprez]

.@Sflecce is staying on as edu minister. Why? Because he’s doing exactly what @FordNation wants: cutting billions from schools, using the pandemic to push his hybrid privatization scheme, & trying to blame teachers & unions for his govt's failure to address #COVID.

[Chantal Mancini, PhD @uniongrrl]

If there are no safety protocols in place for schools in Sept, then @Sflecce’s meddling in school timetables is merely about school day restructuring against the will of students, parents & educators. There’s a privatization agenda here and we can’t let it happen. #onted #onpoli

Today the Premier encouraged schools to hold outdoor graduation events. This is impractical & unrealistic this late in the school year. Our full statement here. https://t.co/BLB5hJO4hc

@erin_roy @fordnation It's our own Joe the Plumber right? The populist playbook rolls on.

It takes a team to educate a student.

Thanks for all you do today and everyday!

Free advice for school board trustees:

Don't tell constituents local decisions are completely out of your control. Conservative governments around Canada have eliminated you & @fordnation would likely be happy to do the same.

Prove your value when communities reach out

Cringing as boards announce hybrid model for next year (hybrid = teaching in-person & virtual students SIMULTANEOUSLY). I busted my butt to make it work this year because it was an emergency. It is NOT sustainable. Mandating virtual learning & not properly funding it is criminal.

[Chris Cowley @oectagovernor]

In Ontario, we would rather call in the army, that give working people paid sick days.

Critical Care Paramedics are moving a record 36 #COVID ICU patients a total of 5151 km across the province today.

On the same day we are contacting people who have acquired #COVID at "essential" workplaces such as make-up, cookie and toy factories.

EA's are not... I repeat NOT respite workers.
EA's are not.... I repeat NOT free day care.
Please don't treat us as that.
We are there to educate. We understand parents' needs. But we need to be safe too. Please don't put us at risk. @OPSEU2100 @Sflecce #UnsafeSchools

BREAKING:AstraZeneca will be available to people 40 plus as of this Tuesday in pharmacies and primary care settings. Statement from Health Minister Christine Elliot says the move is based on current supply. Pharmacists have been saying doses have been going unused

[Allison Cillis @AllisonCillis]

As a teacher of a #SpecEd program, I want to be back in the classroom. I want to be back in the classroom WHEN it is safe for myself, my students, their families, and the greater community.
Our safety matters.

@OECTAveep Congratulations!

[OCUFA @OCUFA]

BREAKING: @LaurentianU is laying off over 80 faculty members and many staff & cutting over 60 programs at the university today.
@RossRomanoSSM & @fordnation are responsible for every single one of these job losses.
They can stop this now and are refusing to do so. #FundLU
