The right to strike is non-negotiable.
Employers already hold enormous power over jobs and investment. Workers balance that power through collective bargaining, including the right to strike.

@MarkJCarney , workers’ bargaining power is part of Canada’s national interest.

[Larry Savage @Prof_Savage]

Labour code changes will threaten workers’ right to strike.

#NEW: Ford government blocks public livestreams of school board committee meetings. https://t.co/DsGhaOrGOW

We’re watching the dismantling of our democracy by Ford’s Conservatives in real time.

A poll released yesterday found that a majority of Ontario parents support keeping their trustees. Ford needs to listen to parents and stop this madness.

NEW: Someone driving an Ontario cabinet minister’s vehicle was captured hitting stunt driving speeds 12 times.

The Premier’s office appears to gave forgiven the driver, who promised not to do it again.

@ColinDMello @fordnation solution to stunt driving: "just promise you won't do it again" #onpoli https://t.co/BrGt5DI2OG

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

The group representing Ontario’s school boards has joined police chiefs and mayors in asking the Ford government to reconsider its plan to ban automated speed cameras.

I guess we now know why @Fordnation is obsessed with ending the unfair "tax"... on speeding cabinet ministers #onpoli

NEW: Several vehicles assigned to Ontario cabinet ministers have racked up more than $3,300 in speeding-related fines — many of them caught on automated speed cameras.

@isaaccallan’s excellent FOI work.

@ColinDMello “peer-reviewed” by another firm…

[Federico Carvajal @fedecarva]

@ColinDMello So @fordnation fails to fund adequate maintenance of the Ontario Science Centre for 6 years and now closes it permanently to justify a relocation to further enrich his developer friends. The absurdity of it all is appalling #onpoli

[Mike Crawley @MikeCrawleyCBC]

Today, Premier Doug Ford held his first news conference in nearly six weeks. Here's an edited sampling of how some of his answers to reporters' questions tended to wander away from the topic as his response went on. #onpoli

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

In Toronto this morning @ElemTeachersTO educators and school trustee @AlexisDawsonTO joined the labour and community action to send a united message.

Together we will #ProtectTransKids! There is #NoSpaceForHate in our schools #onpoli

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

So to recap:

The chief of staff, who received “packages” from developers and then sped up Greenbelt removals on their behalf — keeps his job.

His boss, the Minister of housing — keeps his job.

The Premier who approved the land swaps — keeps his job.

@ColinDMello I guess #Bill23 showed us who @fordnation is talking about when he says he wants to “put more money in people’s pockets” (hint: unless you are a developer, it’s not you) #onpoli

[Federico Carvajal @fedecarva]

@fordnation keeps ignoring the mounting crisis in our hospitals, which is a direct result of his government’s policies. #onpoli https://t.co/KmGrI9EgQ6
