OTPP inflationary increase is 2.4% on January 1.
There you have it, biggest increase I’ve seen in years comes in retirement.
This pension is a damn fine thing.
I phoned the parent of a home instruction student to schedule a drop off of a computer. I started the convo by asking, “How are you? Are you doing ok?” She started to cry as she shared her family’s challenges and I began to cry with her.

Bravo to our #ETFOstrong central bargaining team for steering us through a very difficult process and for achieving a tentative agreement for us under incredibly challenging circumstances.
Well done. @ETFOeducators
A good week to remind Canadians: your public pensions (including CPP, OAS & GIS) have NOT LOST ONE SINGLE DOLLAR IN VALUE because of market mayhem. That's because they are all public defined benefit plans that depend on our shared productivity & solidarity, not financial gambling
Shout out to #ETFO stewards and our local leadership teams. I am sure your heads must be spinning right now. We have never experienced a day like today. Thank you for patiently supporting #ETFO members and addressing their questions. You rock!

Elementary teachers have fallen 11.5% behind cost of living increases since 2012... and, yet, our ministers received 14% at once?
Tell us again how teachers are greedy for asking for 2%.
Anyone have the breakdown for secondary teachers? #FullReversal#NoCutsToEducation#OntEd
My favourite part of a bargaining day - quiet time before anyone else arrives. An opportunity to gather thoughts before we head to the table. This room will be buzzing with discussion and work later this morning. #ETFOstrong
So to be clear:
What breaks Doug Ford’s heart isn’t
▶️ students losing their courses
▶️ Education workers losing their jobs
▶️ Rising poverty
▶️ hospital overcrowding
▶️ special needs kids without supports
No... it’s that he didn’t get his vanity plates.
