In the ETFO provincial office members and staff join together for the Day Action. We are #OntEdUnited to fight for public education. #onpoli

[OCUFA @OCUFA]

OCUFA stands in solidarity with teachers and education workers across Ontario. Alongside @ETFOeducators, @AEFO_ON_CA, @OECTAProv, @osbcucscso, & @osstf we stand together for publicly funded education from kindergarten to PSE!

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

The Minister's conduct towards education stakeholders is a draconian display of power. We are deeply concerned that the current actions and decisions of this government aim to undermine and exclude the voices of educators and education workers in #onted.

[Elementary Teachers of Toronto @ElemTeachersTO]

Teachers at Cresthaven PS united with 255,000 teachers and education workers in today's province-wide action this week! Together with @ETFOeducators, @AEFO_ON_CA, @OECTAProv, @osbcucscso, & @osstf we stand together for publicly funded education in the face of serious challenges

[Dr. Atul Kapur @Kapur_AK]

Not every teacher is qualified to be the Director or Education or the CEO — just like not every MPP is qualified to be a minister, as we are seeing in this situation

BREAKING: The Ford government just voted to fast-track a law that would permanently shield Doug Ford’s phone records from the public, keeping you in the dark about how your tax dollars are being used.

Watch this video where I break it down.

No surprise here. This government does everything in its power to avoid scrutiny.

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

"We know the reason teachers are not in classrooms is because of the working conditions, which are directly related to students' learning conditions," said #ETFO First VP @ShirleyBell8.

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

In response to proposed changes to #onted board governance, @ETFOpresident said, “Families deserve trustees who are democratically elected to make decisions, not CEOs with business credentials installed to manage public education like a corporate enterprise. The fallout from this govt’s poor decisions belongs to this govt alone. Trustees are not elected to serve as a buffer for your reckless decision-making.” #onpoli

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

“While the Ford government ultimately rejected Minister Calandra’s initial plan to eliminate all democratically elected trustees — a reversal achieved through months of sustained advocacy by ETFO and its education partners — this legislation (proposed education bill, the Putting Student Achievement First Act) removes the essential powers trustees need to genuinely represent families and students,” says @ETFOpresident David Mastin. #onpoli

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

"This government has been in power for eight years — they need to accept responsibility for the challenges the system is facing, and need to stop pointing fingers of blame," says @etfopresident David Mastin.

Provincial control over teacher resources "takes away the ability for local school boards and teachers to make decisions that are in the best interests of the students that are sitting in front of them in each community," he added. #onted #onpoli

ETFO message, check your in-box for an important message about the Ford government's new Bill.

On April 13, 2026, the government introduced Bill 101, the Putting Student Achievement First Act. While the government presents this legislation as a response to governance and financial issues in a limited number of school boards, Bill 101 is far broader and more disruptive to #onted than necessary. #onpoli

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

In February, we kicked off our member mobilization campaign. Our first action was a petition. Over the span of one month, we gathered more than 50,000 signatures!

This week, MPPs have been reading our petitions in the legislature, delivering our message directly to the government. Together, we are sending a clear message that we are mobilizing to defend publicly funded education. Join us - add your voice at https://t.co/dEXpkgpnqS #onted

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

TODAY, the ETFO released officer team will be joining the @OntAutism rally at Queen's Park. There is a crisis in public education in this province. We are coming together to raise our voices in defence of #onted schools, defend democracy and defend our children. #onpoli

Being scrutinized is an integral part of the job of public service.
