New today: Ontario’s education minister says he’s “not embarrassed” that school boards are being forced to pay $350k annually to the supervisors he appointed. Paul Calandra calls it an “appropriate amount of money” for them to limit school board spending. Watch our exchange:
Hi kids .. #HandmaidsTale (the book not the series!) has just been banned in #Edmonton…don’t read it, your hair will catch on fire! Get one now before they have public book burnings of it.
It's that time of year again. There will be lots of misinformation circulating about teachers. Here's the truth about teacher raises and strikes in Ontario. Please share as needed.
Universal healthcare is who we are as Canadians. It’s one of the things that sets us a part from the U.S. and we should be proud of that. Let’s keep it strong and make sure it serves everyone, in every region. It’s our heritage, our legacy and something we should all be proud of.
On our street, everyone is welcome. Together, let’s build a world where every person and family feels loved and respected for who they are. Happy #PrideMonth!

Indigenous Peoples and #Canada have lost a champion.
The #NFB mourns the passing of @Sensincmurr (1951-2024), former Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. His determination, wisdom & kindness will always be remembered → https://t.co/9M58wD7GgA
As shared publicly on Facebook, the family of the Honourable Murray Sinclar has shared that he is unwell, that he is in serious and unstable condition. -- Asking for prayers from across NDN country, including allies, supporters, friend, and really any life he has touched, which is countless.
He has served us as lawyer, judge, Senator and Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. A lifetime of bringing justice, truth and fairness for Indigenous peoples and those who have suffered in many capacities.
From his rulings, to his day to day wisdom he shares with us on social media, to the power Truth and Reconciliation Commission, he has given over and over again.
Let's pray hard in anyway that you do for him and his family, for this truly wondering human being - Justice, Judge, Senator - the honourable Murray Sinclair.

Doug Ford is directing the LCBO to replace their paper bag contract from Quebec with an Ontario company. This directly lines up with the corruption I predicted back in April, let's take a look #ontario#lcbo#onpoli#dougford#ontpoli#frankdomenic🍁 #canpoliTT
Seeing more stories about longer school days knocking around again… The obsession with extending the school day is built on the myth that children are the same humans before lunchtime as they are after.
It is slightly mind boggling to me that a provincial leader can tell...
1. People who are homeless to get off their asses & get back to work
2. Tell teachers who are predominantly women to stick with their knitting
...all in ONE day...and still have the majority of support...
What the heck is happening with student transportation in Renfrew County and could it come to a school board near you?
