Heartbroken. Watching the team be sold off is not a fun part of being a fan. This one is hard as Janson was one of my favourite players and has been with the team for so long. #OnceAaJayAlwaysAJay 💔💙⚾️🐦

Thank you, Jano, for all that you’ve meant to our team, for the leader you were in our clubhouse, and for everything you did in our community.

Let's just take a moment... 🌟

@JeffPassan @Ken_Rosenthal Noooooo! Not Jansen. 😭

This is the glove Davis Schneider is using to play in his 3rd MLB game.
He found it in “lost and found” at the place Davis coaches in the off season.
Whit Merrifield brought it to my attention to let me know Davis nickname is “VUK” (no idea who that is but it’s on the glove) 😂

In 2011, I made $92,826 as an Ontario teacher. In order to support my family in the same way, due to inflation, I would need to make $125,655. While inflation rose 33.4% my salary rose just 8.5% 2012-2023. 1.25% a year is not going to work. We are short nearly 25%. #ETFO #onted

[Teachers Unite @Teachers__Unite]

In fact, A4 #onted teachers are further away from being on the inflation correct Sunshine List than they were in 1996 when it was first introduced.

[Teachers Unite @Teachers__Unite]

The number of #onted teachers on the inflation corrected Sunshine List of 1996 has remained remarkably stable.......ZERO!!!

Public schools are not failing students.

Public school teachers are not failing students.

The system is failing public schools, teachers and students.

Stop saying public schools and teachers are failing students when the system is setting them up to fail.

Education Minister says he wants the contract talks education unions wrapped up before September - and has requested private mediation with the teachers unions to “pressurize” the negotiations.

I’m not a mental health professional.

I care deeply for the health and well-being of my students but that doesn’t make me a mental health professional.

Students deserve access to REAL mental health professionals.

The big announcement?

About 46 cents per day, per student for math & literacy support.

Lecce focuses on big sounding numbers like "$180 million" but we have 2 million students in Ontario.

How much support do you think your child will get for 46 cents?

[OSSTF Communications @osstf]

At Queen’s Park today to find out what the Ford gov is planning for the next school year 🙄

No consultation
No transparency
Almost no mention of direct supports for the classroom
Lots of overreach though!

Unclear how any of this will help students learn? #OntEd #OSSTF

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

The Ford government is trying to obscure the depth of cuts made to public education.

Get the facts👇🏾
7,000 job losses in #onted on Friday

+ 1,000 new jobs on Sunday

= 6,000 fewer school staff to support students

[Muna Kadri @munakadri]

Lecce keeps saying we have under performing schools, NO, we have under supported schools.

#onted

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

It's smoke and mirrors from the government.

Here's what you need to know.
- THERE IS NO INCREASE to base education funds.
- #onted budget includes parent payouts for tutors, limited program funding & child care.

Meaning dollars for in-person school is actually cut! #onpoli
