On this day in 1940, the miraculous evacuation of Allied soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk concluded. Operation Dynamo saved over 338,000 troops, including heroic efforts by Canadian naval vessels and personnel. Today, we remember the courage of those who faced impossible odds to fight another day.

By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.
Support staff keep schools running.
Support staff keep kids safe.
Support staff are essential to student learning and wellbeing.
Thank you for coming to my #EdTalk.
Just so we're clear, this is all garbage. Special education is deeply underfunded in Ontario, and this govt has just cut an additional $4.7 million from PDSB's spec ed budget.
They're cutting access because they don't want the public to see how bad it is. Parents know. #onted
Today marks 78 years of UN Peacekeeping.
Canada played a vital role in the establishment of UN peacekeeping, and more than 125,000 Canadians have served in UN peace operations. Not surprisingly, Canadians consider peacekeeping part of the country’s identity.

Today, we celebrate the birthday of President John F. Kennedy: a leader who believed, above all else, in the courage of the American people.
We invite you to reflect with us on the leaders who shaped us—and the work that still remain.
This whole Billy Bishop expansion is being driven by an American bank that won't even disclose its role in the lobbying campaign. Doug Ford is destroying Toronto's waterfront to help out American bankers at our expense.
Once again, the @OntarioPCCaucus demonstrates how much they loathe the people of Ontario that are supposed to represent.
If you’re not a wealthy donor, you mean nothing to this government. It’s abhorrent and shameful. 😡
@PaulCalandra has so much nerve as he cuts to the detriment of educators, students and teachers. Nerve when you have all the power. @PaulCalandra should be ashamed as should @fordnation
You’re delusional! The idea that @fordnation is supporting better outcomes for students via extensive staff cuts, enhanced centralized power & dramatic Special Education underfunding is laughable! PCs are removing thousands of staff who are truly committed to student excellence.

I delegated @DPCDSBSchools last night in support of flying the Pride flag. Before the meeting even started the police had to called in. In what has to be one of the most disgraceful outcomes for a Catholic Board I've seen in a long time, the motion to fly the Pride flag outside the board office and schools did not even receive a 2nd and so was not voted on. A second motion to allow the indigenous flag to fly every day as requested by our indigenous community received the same disrespectful treatment. TY @breacorbet for being the lone voice in support of students and staff
Paul Calandra is cutting $4.7 million from PDSB's special education. This funding cut is devastating. Here we are this time last year outlining the problems with the funding formula. We have been calling for proper support. Instead he took over our board. #onted#onpoli
