Doug Ford, Paul Calandra, and their handpicked Education Czar Rohit Gupta are making devastating cuts to public education in Toronto, and our students are paying the price.

Tell Doug Ford: our students deserve better: https://t.co/7cbb4emyHq

New from Isabel Teotonio: Families are worried that the Peel District School Board’s move will leave high-needs students physically present but unable to learn, participate or feel safe. #oned

Classroom conditions have deteriorated significantly over the past eight years, leading to high levels of teacher burnout, @etfopresident David Mastin told The @globeandmail.

"Whether you’re in downtown city centres, very densely populated city centres, we’re seeing the same thing: violence, unmet student needs, declining availability for specialized educators, barriers to accessing essential programs, insufficient resources, lack of early interventions. Our members are saying, ‘I can’t take this any more,'" Mastin said.

Ontario students were promised that mandatory e-learning would modernize education.

Instead, it has meant larger classes, fewer supports, reduced funding, and more barriers for many students.

Online learning can be a valuable option for some students. But it should never have been made mandatory for all.

Student success starts with strong, connected, properly funded in-person learning environments

The union representing York Region District School Board education workers say nearly 250 positions are being eliminated for the upcoming school year.

Thousands of protesters accused the Ford government of privatizing public hospitals at a rally at Queen’s Park on Thursday.

Given the government’s significant investments in private clinics, I ask the health minister if Ontario is now operating a two-tier health-care system:

Today, education advocates, labour leaders, and parents came together to speak with one voice about the urgent need to tackle the harmful effects of extreme heat in schools across Ontario.

Thank you to Shadow Education Critic MPP @ChandraPasma , MPP @jamiewestndp , OSSTF District 14 President Chris Clarke alongside @OECTAProv , @ETFOeducators , and Parents for Childcare, for standing united in support of students, families, educators, and education workers.

With MPP Pasma’s private member’s bill, the Fighting Extreme Heat in Schools Act, 2026, we hope the Ford government takes meaningful action to ensure safe learning and working conditions for all students, teachers, and education workers during the increasingly hot summer months. #OntEd #PublicEducation

The TDSB is set to lose $6.4M in special education funding next year amid declining enrolment.

"We're in trouble" warn advocates, who say boards are already stretched thin & spending beyond provincial allocations to meet students’ needs. cc: @GabeOatley https://t.co/0BVFESdp0g

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

From our union to @OPSEU members, the 1000s of workers in community health and social services who are on strike or locked out across Ontario, we send our solidarity.

We are with you, and we want you to know that you are absolutely worth fighting for! ✊ #onlab #onpoli

Moments ago: Premier Ford won’t commit to paying taxpayers back the $200K spent on private jet fees, calling the controversy an “old story.”

He says he’s already saved taxpayers “millions of dollars” by flying commercial over the years & only charters flights “when needed.”

Ford concerned about "saving taxpayer money" - HA! That is farcical.
In addition to costing taxpayers millions, Ford has gutted public services to suit his needs. Here are a few things you can thank his government for:

- partisan promotional road signs = $1.45 million
- $103.5 million ad spending —the highest in Ontario history
-$225 million to terminate Beer Store contract 6 months early
- $1.35 billion for a vanity megaspa project at Ontario Place
- $4.8 million in legal challenges and costing billions in legal fees and retroactive pay

On June 6, education workers, teachers, parents, and community members across Ontario are coming together to #PaintTheProvincePurple in support of publicly funded education 💜

@osbcucscso locals are organizing canvasses and community outreach events across the province to raise awareness about the understaffing crisis in Ontario schools and what it means for students.

No experience is necessary. Local organizers will provide orientation and materials, including lawn and window signs.

Interested in taking part? Find an event near you and RSVP: https://t.co/ukTKPsLcvu

“It's making things harder for parents in Ontario for no reason.”

Peel is the latest school board hit by a Ford govt directive blocking livestreams or recordings of special education meetings. Critics call it a huge loss in access for vulnerable families https://t.co/YJcwg3tf9S
