I cuss. I troll. I am “an interesting mix of blind anger and arrogance”, and I might be “the biggest dick” you’ll see today. I give Dave’s a bad name. 🐟
A 102-day summer vacation after sitting for only 29 days this year. If you were trying to avoid questions about your own corruption, this is what you'd do.
Ontario's education unions have officially served notice to bargain.
They're asking for smaller class sizes, more special education supports, and an end to mandatory e-learning.
And this explains exactly why Doug Ford is shutting down Queen's Park for the summer until October.
We've seen this before.
When it comes to education, Ford's government has a history of fighting teachers instead of fixing classrooms. Larger class sizes. Fewer supports. Labour disputes. Constant battles with the people educating our children.
Teachers aren't asking for luxuries. They're asking for the resources needed to help students succeed.
Doug Ford has failed teachers. He has failed parents. He has failed students.
If Ontario is heading toward another work-to-rule campaign or labour unrest this fall, nobody should be surprised. The warning signs are already there.
Instead of showing leadership and investing in public education, this government appears content to disappear until October and hope the problems go away.
The only union Doug Ford supports is the police unions.
Ontario's children deserve better.
