So many things are out of kids’ control— uncomfy clothes, loud noises, icky food, confusing rules…
As an adult, I make my own choices.
I wear, eat, and do what I like, because if I don’t, I get overloaded.
That’s why I don’t remind you of your 8-year-old autistic nephew.
Ford just stabbed Hamilton and Halton in the gut. After we chose to grow within our current urban boundaries he has flung open Georgetown to sprawl southward. Welcome to the city of Halton. Thousands of acres of prime agricultural unnecessarily sacrificed to developer greed.
Ministry of Education (who is also responsible for Child Care) sent a memo out last week directing centres to deny school age children space during the school day.
Because it is all about the kids, right?
Lecce gives not a fig about kids or families or clearly anyone’s rights
BREAKING: the Ontario government has decided to override Hamilton’s decision not to expand urban boundaries. It will now compel the city to do so, something @SteveClarkPC has been threatening to do for months

It’s shocking to me that we’ve got MPPs in power here in Ontario that think they deserve the $16,000 raise they gave themselves earlier this year but don’t think CUPE education workers deserve a raise of just $3.25 per hour so they can afford to put food on the table.
'It Will Get Easier'. When children are unhappy at school& reluctant to go, it's often called anxiety. The child's emotions are assumed to be the problem. The work of parents and professionals is to change how they feel. Here's the problem with that. (with @_MissingTheMark)1/
@Sflecce If it was truly "about the kids", you would lower class sizes, source high-quality PPE (not cloth masks), improve air quality in schools, support outdoor learning/eating outdoor spaces, and provide #PaidSickDays. This isn't a game to families. It's our children's future.
Non-Indigenous people: please remember that September 30th isn’t a day of celebration or joy for us. For many of us, it’s a day that reminds us of loss and is a day of mourning and remembrance. Please remember this when smiling with your friends for a pic in your orange shirts.
