Just to be clear - education unions requesting to continue bargaining while the OLRB makes their decision, and Paul Calandra refused.
The impending strike will be caused by Doug Ford’s government and their refusal to bargain.
Stephen Lecce bankrupting Ontarians with four $21B U.S.A nuclear SMRs that rely on New Mexico uranium as Russia, China & Argentina, long construction delays have been the norm. No SMRs has come close to meeting 3-to-4-year construction schedule, instead taking 12-13 years.
Tina Yazdani found Sylvia Jones giving “unprecedented” public money to build new operating rooms: funding up 300%. Ontarians paying more for surgeries at Don Mills (DM) surgical clinic. Cataract surgery costs avg $508 at public hospital vs. $1,264 at DM.
BREAKINGNEWS: Capital One Financial Corp. said in a court filing late Friday that it closed accounts belonging to Donald Trump sprawling real estate company in 2021 for legitimate reasons after an internal review by the bank's anti-money laundering team.
Internal review by the bank was triggered by "transaction patterns" that "are among the types of activity flagged by federal banking guidance." The bank said it's only making the anti-money laundering review public now as a result of the litigation. 🚨
… Canada being a major source of fentanyl entering the U.S., windmills causing cancer, climate change being a hoax, his economy being the ‘greatest in history,’ not raping E. Jean Carroll, releasing his tax returns, not having sex with Stormy Daniels & paying her off…
… COVID-19 being a Democrat hoax, Undocumented immigrants voting illegally in 2016, Democrats supporting the execution of babies after birth, tariffs being paid by foreign countries, the U.S. sending Canada hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies…
🧵 Hey MAGA Stupids:
Trump lied to you about the reflecting pool, just like the way he’s lied to you about the 2020 election being stolen, the Russia ‘hoax,’ his inauguration crowd size, Mexico paying for the wall, Barack Obama’s birthplace, not knowing about Project 2025…
Interesting. When residents asked for meaningful consultation on Billy Bishop, Ford’s team dismissed them as NIMBYs blocking economic development. Now the same principle is being invoked for ALTO: “too many voices have been ignored.” Consultation either matters for major infrastructure projects—or it doesn’t.
The biggest exporter of Canadian jobs to the U.S. is Doug Ford & Lecce:
• $1B for private companies administering Ontario gov programs
• $9B Ontario Line trains from U.S.
• $21B for four U.S. nuclear reactors
• $140M U.S. Trillium Hospital
The big bargaining issues will be around class size, education assistants & all things related to Special Education programming. Supporting & backing teachers will be the equivalent of supporting students & families. The @fordnation underfunding of education must end immediately!

Doug Fords plan from the beginning. He’s done this every time Teachers entered contract talks. Doug Ford has failed Ontario. The Teachers and students are always his victims
If there are no service cuts, release the plans.
What are Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones hiding? Ontario hospitals are already running deficits and borrowing to keep the lights on. There isn't any fat left to trim. Cost-cutting means fewer staff, longer waits, more burnout, and care that's harder to access. #onpoli

OPSEU/SEFPO supports call for public inquiry into Ford government's wildfire planning and response.
Premier Doug Ford’s government has failed to provide the transparent planning, stable funding, and staffing that are required to respond to increasingly severe fire seasons.
If the plans are so damaging that they can't risk the public knowing about them, have they considered this might not be the best path forward?
We have lost a great deal of transparency and accountability over the last 8 years in the services we rely on. We deserve better.#onpoli
@WendyGoodes Wow, the hypocrisy is blinding. “Public confidence ….. depends on meaningful consultation “ …. who was consulted before destroying the OSC and Ontario Place? Who was consulted in the inane decision to build a hwy through rich farmland to benefit donors, and under the 401?
NEW: ‘Protect Ontario’ and other ad campaigns cost taxpayers $55 million last year across 3 ministries.
The latest FOI records we obtained reveal the Ministry of Finance spent $21.4M on ads last year.
We are still waiting for records from 5 other ministries.
