I love that David Bowie's and Brian May's reactions were captured when Annie Lennox gives it everything, and that George Michael singing along in the back!

Fantastic video and the very best music.

Doug Ford is manufacturing a crisis in our schools.

Unions want early negotiations. A deal before September.
Ford and Paul Calandra? Stalling.

Why?
Because a strike lets them turn parents against educators.

Let’s be clear:
Education workers are not the problem.

He’s underfunded public education for years.
He’s underfunded public healthcare for years.
Now he’s trying to break both.

We didn’t ask for a Thermëa spa.
We didn’t need the Ontario Science Centre shut down.
We didn’t need the Greenbelt opened up.
We don’t need a billion-dollar tunnel under the 401.

But here we are.

This isn’t incompetence.
It’s deliberate.

I am no longer employed by CityNews. I am proud of my journalism at CityNews and I stand by my reporting. I will have more to say on this later but for now please stay tuned and thank you for those who have supported me.

[NDivergentTea @divergentTea]

Hey @TinaYazdani - if you’ve been let go by @CityNewsTO just as the MOEd #onted presser today - shop it to everyone. You are exactly the type of journalist I went to school to become - ethical, credible & asking the hard Q’s. Ironically - Donna Shelly was one of my profs.
