As we work in 2020, useful to remember (via Toni Morrison):
1. Whatever the work is, do it well—not for the boss but for yourself.
2. You make the job; it doesn’t make you.

4. You are not the work you do; you are the person you are.
It gets worse. @AirCanada refused to let me fly after I showed the flight attendant Air Canada’s own email about the law & policy for storing Emery’s wheelchair in the closet. Then they kicked @lilygelissen my 17 yr old daughter off when she asked for the flight attendant’s ID…
I am looking for an articling student: 2023-2024. I do Public Law, Constitutional Law and criminal law litigation. This is a full-time position for 8-10 months starting in May. Self-starter, clinical experience, maturity, sound judgment, initiative and client focused preferred.

this is also true of policing
a full-time OPP officer who finishes training makes $75,000/yr
a full-time education worker makes $49,000/yr
I am not an Ontarian, or a teacher, or an education assistant, but I have a perspective on the Ford government’s “Keeping Students in Schools Act”. I was Minister of Education in Alberta for 7 years, including the time the Charter was developed and enacted. #onted#onpoli
