I was thinking back to when I first started teaching. I pretty much taught, copied, graded, emailed/called home. Now I do all that & now manage an LMS, collect crazy amounts of data, log that data, log interactions with home, create videos, & attend 4 times as many meetings....

Without a contract, for the second school year, education workers are coaching your kids, marking and planning on their weekends and evenings, and doing everything they can to provide the best for students.

Meanwhile, Ford is being investigated and enriching his friends.

I can’t transfer a patient out because all the county ambulances are in EMS offload because we are completely bedblocked because I can’t transfer people out to free up a bed because there are no ambulances available because we are bedblocked

State of healthcare in Ontario, 2023

[Jason Bradshaw 🇨🇦🇧🇧 @JBradshaw01]

Any time someone proposing something so significant insists that you shouldn’t need time to question and consider, be wary. We will be providing our full (and extra) services in the meantime, as we have for over a year with an expired contract. What’s the rush now? #OntEd

[Birgit Umaigba-Omoruyi @birgitomo]

We are at the point where people are no longer guaranteed care in the taxpayer-funded public health system because the corrupt government is using public money to privatize healthcare.

We are not angry enough. Things are completely out of control. You will only find out when you need care but cannot get it.

New rule:if @Sflecce wants to suggest that he is the good guy and the unions are the bad guys he needs to first publicly share his mandate letters so parents can judge for themselves who is truly standing up for students and who is deliberately creating a crisis in #OntEd #onpoli

[MsEsco @MsEscoTeaches]

“Post-COVID” students are different. If you haven’t been teaching in a classroom in the last 3 years, you don’t understand. Please listen to teachers.

[Lisa Gretzky @LGretzky]

The Premier claimed he “loves nurses”. If this were true, he wouldn’t be taking them to court over #Bill124 that was already deemed unconstitutional and suppressing their wages.

When you love and value workers, you treat them with respect and dignity.

We’re not fooled. #onpoli

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

One of the biggest issues in education…

The people that make decisions for what is best for students are NOT teachers.
Nor are teachers even asked.

[Teachers Unite @Teachers__Unite]

If a job is overpaid, easy peasy, includes three months vacation, and work hours from 9-3:30, wouldn't there be a surplus of applicants? #onted #edchat

[Jen Giffen (She/Her) @VirtualGiff]

Teachers stand with Nurses. #betterstaffing #betterwages
⁦@fordnation⁩ needs to stop with the lip service and show that he actually cares about our frontline workers.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Cruel & out of touch.

The Ford Conservatives are withholding $6.4 billion in crucial investments to healthcare, education, social services....

They are swimming in cash while Ontarians suffer.

We might FINALLY have a cure for cancer, and a Black American woman is the inventor. Dr Hadiyah Nicole Green invented a device that only kills cancer cells. She wants it to be free and is trying to raise money to get it approved #BlackHistoryMonth    #blackinventors.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

If teachers and school staff only did what they are contracted to do and ONLY worked the hours that they are paid to work— every school would have to shut down because it wouldn’t be able to function.

This! 💯

The Ford government is underfunding healthcare & education programs by billions of dollars, while hoarding cash in a contingency fund to be used for unknown purposes, says Ontario’s Financial Accountability Officer https://t.co/1bS0Ag6lTn #onpoli

@Out_OnA_Limb @divergentTea There is a McDonald's in my neighbourhood that uses one of their accessible parking spots as an overflow spot for drive thru customers waiting for their orders. I complained to the management...no change 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Birgit Umaigba-Omoruyi @birgitomo]

Internal briefing documents given to Ontario's Health Minister when she took office reveal that Doug Ford's wage suppression legislation #Bill124 contributed to the healthcare crisis in Ontario. This information was only obtained through a freedom of information request. Wow!

CHCH News reporting that Mayor Wayne Redekop of Ft Erie hasn’t heard from @fordnation or the provincial government despite a snow emergency and massive power outages.
