Alright @dpsuoecta Occasional Teachers it's time to vote for our new leaders. Be prepred to be promised the world for the next two weeks by the same people who ignored us for the last two years. Don't buy it. Time to purge on May 14-15th. Vote is online this time so no excuses.
The first of many #onted faculties to blacklist @DPCDSBSchools, @mylakehead has informed it's teacher candidates for 2025-26 that placing them at Dufferin Peel Catholic Schools is a contravention of the university's Human Rights policy as the Board supports messages of exclusion
Doug Ford should cancel, but at the very least, pause a $100million dollar deal with someone who has a history of meddling in democratic elections…unless, of course, that was the reason for the deal with Musk in the first place? #DougFordFailedOntario
I encourage all Canadian businesses to keep “Buy Canadian” signage up in stores. Some people might want to change their shopping habits going forward. It’s helpful.
A reporter asked Donald Trump what Justin Trudeau could offer him to avoid tariffs, and Trump once again said he wants Canada to be an American state - something the overwhelming majority of Canadians oppose.
Wake up, folks.
You can't blame this on Justin Trudeau.
You can't blame the Canadian Government for this.
This is 100% on Donald Trump.
He is hostile to the idea of Canada as an independent nation.
Our officials need to stop falling all over themselves to offer new concessions.
His demands change by the minute.
Canada must promise to retaliate to tariffs and reach out to Governors and Congress representatives, Senators, and the U.S. business community. We have many allies in the U.S. who respect our status as a sovereign country.
We should also reach out to the European Union and other democracies to deepen economic and military ties.
And most importantly, we must maintain and strengthen our Canadian unity. We shouldn't be attacking or blaming each other, as that only feeds into Donald Trump's attempt to weaken and divide our nation.
Doug Ford, the workers of Ontario need you to protect their jobs... not call an unnecessary election 😡
An early election will cost taxpayers millions and means the government will be in caretaker mode while we face Trump's threats. Workers' jobs are at risk - we need a Premier focusing on protecting Ontario, not securing his own power.

Translation:
Doug’s had 7 years - and we are no better off than we were in 2018.
But let’s trust an old budget, failed policies & empty promises - no thanks Doug
We need sound leadership, not sound bites.
@OFLabour
Why haven’t you done this before? You’ve been in power for more than 6 years? Majority power even. I’ll believe it when I see it. Until then I remain skeptical because you’ve promised things before that never happened. Don’t fall for it voters! #onpoli
Curious #onted and #onlab what are your thoughts on a Provincial body disallowing its locals to use/threaten/implement job action against the employer when negotiating their contracts? #oecta#osstf#etfo#aefo#ofl
Research shows that students are ruder and more violent since the pandemic. However, nobody acknowledges that the Sept. 2020 ON gov. decision to ban k-3 suspensions, as well as reduce suspensions in all other grades, has led to this situation. Actions have consequences. #onted
Fully agree with insights in this piece except they should be applied to the politicians @OECTAProv. Members are used "merely (as) a vehicle to be manipulated to further (our leaders) own interests." Do not tell me you care-show me that you do. Stop gaslighting members. #onted
A necessary & timely reflection on what the phrase, "We the people,” truly means.

@OPSEU277@NatKusendova Amarjot Sandhu, Prabmeet Sarkaria, Deepak Anand , Rudy Cuzzetto, NATALIA KUSENDOVA, Sheref Sabawy & Nina Tangri ALL voted against the Stay Home If You Are Sick Act. I guess more sick people=more business for paramedics. Really shameful to see a union support this govt #onlab
@OECTAProv The irony of this post is not lost on me. This entire organization is full of complicit bullies and the worst of them are at the top. It's time that #CatholicTeachers "cultivate the supportive environments" that they are asking for. #OntEd#BullyingAwarenessandPreventionWeek
