NEW: After pushback from parents & coaches, Education Minister Paul Calandra is clarifying comments he made Monday telling parents not to pull kids from school for sports.
He says students can still be excused for sports and those absences will not affect their grades.

We should never accept a political culture in which politicians have to answer questions about NOT attending events like this. Those who attend should be the ones answering questions.
Here are the types of absences that can be excused (ie no grade deduction).
Holy days
Bereavement
Take Your Kid To Work Day
Transit strikes
Family vacations
Illness with doctor note
Mental health reasons
Oh and documentation must be kept in case of audit.

I just heard on the radio with @bradcsmith that all the C02 Canada has removed over the last 5 years, with taxes and whatnot, China produces in 32 hours. 🇨🇦🇨🇳
Well done, Liberals. You're absolute morons.
Put down the phones. Pick up the books.
Schools that are bringing back pen-and-paper learning and banning phones are seeing remarkable results.
Turns out kids learn better when they're reading, writing, and thinking—not scrolling.

For years, we’ve been told nobody can define what a woman is. Ask the question and suddenly it’s “complicated.”
But the second somebody says Michelle Obama is a man, they all become world-class biologists overnight.
Funny how that works.
So let me get this straight: Trump invited NBC News to interview him despite their hostility, gave them over half an hour of content, and sat through pouring rain and technical difficulties all while being berated by Kristen Welker. But yet, the story is "Trump stormed out?!" Give me a break.
Here's a question for NBC: when was the last time you saw a Democratic president request an interview with a conservative outlet? For almost a decade, Trump has had the balls to keep requesting these interviews with the Leftist media, knowing they’ll try to spin the narrative or rile him up. And this is how they repay him?
🚨BREAKING:12-year-old boy who fought back against his school for pushing a book about changing genders speaks alongside President Trump at the Museum of the Bible:
"I've been a Christian my whole life, and Jesus means everything to me."
"I knew this was not right, but I was afraid of getting in trouble."
"After my family spoke up, the school treated us badly and kids started bullying me and my brother because of our faith."

Doug Ford flew to Washington to play Captain Canada but couldn’t get a meeting with anyone from the U.S. administration.
Back home, he voted against removing the tax on food and lowering grocery prices. Ontarians are paying for the show – and getting nothing for it.
Doug Ford's Minister of Education spent the entire session standing in front of cameras across Ontario and even in London UK to announce fake funding for our classrooms.
Minister Calandra thought he could silence students and educators by performing accounting tricks on camera.
Instead, he got caught with his pants down after documents revealed his $750 for classrooms were all smoke and mirrors.
I communicate with my students that…
