This SHOULD have been announced months ago. The announcement is happening now because @fordnation is actively campaigning, & needs to make @JustinTrudeau 's success look like his own. It isn't. He's only just realized how badly it will play to leave fed $ on the table. #onpoli
Feel like half the world lost their social interaction skills over the pandemic? 🙋♂️
People are strangely on edge? Angry over weird and trivial things?
It's not your imagination, it's a real problem and it's expected to last for years.

For those of you who have been following my calendar project in memory of my son, Leejay, I’d like you to know that the calendars brought in $25,853.17 NET for Hospice Waterloo Region. COVID really got in the way, but with the help of volunteer, Joanne Renauld, we raised some $$.
With the removal of symptom screening and the combining of cohorts after March Break, we can allow classes to mix and have one staff member supervising 500 kids in the gym when all of the teachers are home sick with COVID. Classic move. Hide the problem. #OntEd
Stunning pro-Russian statement from Green Party leader in Quebec. A Putin friendly/fed narrative that repeats overt propaganda claims including the “denazification” pretext for invasion and lie. Demands NATO stop sending arms to defend Ukrainian. Greens? Response? #cdnpoli
In the last half hour, Zelensky put out a statement on his official Telegram, clearly looking distressed. He warned the fighting at Zaporizhzhia could be another Chernobyl. No state has ever fired on a nuclear plant before, he said. Russia "has resorted to nuclear terror."
Two White House officials say their latest information shows no indications of elevated levels of radiation at the Zaporizhzhia complex. The White House is continuing to monitor it closely following President Biden’s call with Zelensky.
Doug Ford's Solicitor General needs to be held accountable for her role in the #OttawaOccupation.
The @ontliberal are asking the Justice Policy Committee to review Ford's management of this crisis because we need to rebuild lost public trust caused by Ford's inaction. #onpoli
Removing masks in schools to allow for more widespread infection when we already can’t get enough occasional staff to cover absent educators is problematic. Can individual school boards and public health units step up? @ScottPiatkowski@CambridgeJayne@ROWPublicHealth#OntEd
