JOINT STATEMENT: Supreme Court confirms Ford government’s attack on democracy was unconstitutional!

Bill 307 was a clear attempt to suppress voices critical of Doug Ford’s disastrous policies, which have underfunded publicly funded education; neglected students, abandoned teachers, educators, and education workers; and left schools understaffed and unsafe. By limiting third-party political advocacy a full year before elections, the Ford government sought to silence the workers and communities that hold them accountable for these failures.

Per the TO Star, "if you're an educator, you've been bearing the brunt of higher costs more than other professionals in Canada." No shit! #cdned workers have seen real wages decrease dramatically over the past decade. Hence the shortage! #onted https://t.co/WwP1Jd4ZhS

STATEMENT: #OSSTF rejects statements made by Ford & Min Lecce that attempt to manufacture false divisions b/w parents, educators & students.

Their harmful comments disregard the rights of students & show a profound lack of understanding of the role of public ed. #OntEd #2SLGBTQI

[OSSTF Communications @osstf]

Ford's harmful comments have real-world consequences for many #2SLGBTQI+ youth!

If the gov't enacts this as policy, #OSSTF will vigorously defend its members in exercising their professional judgement in creating safe schools!
