Quick question @PaulCalandra …I thought graduations were to be apolitical events. Why is @RudyCuzzetto dropping off boxes of unsolicited, politically branded grad certificates? #onted #onpoli @TinaYazdani @MaritStiles

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Doug Ford's Minister of Education spent the entire session standing in front of cameras across Ontario and even in London UK to announce fake funding for our classrooms.

Minister Calandra thought he could silence students and educators by performing accounting tricks on camera.

Instead, he got caught with his pants down after documents revealed his $750 for classrooms were all smoke and mirrors.

@JailBre18534267 They still close things due to Covid?

[Ian McGregor @mcgregis]

@realJ_Mitchell It's a gotcha question based on some specific wording from a specific document. Poorly written.

@davidasinclair Lots of scientists can't explain things, especially to the general public. It takes a unique talent to do it. What you need are real journalists that understand science.

@Ms_Anchovy @PaulCalandra When we fight over photocopies I will often offer to pay the hydro bill. Nobody takes me up on the offer. They would gladly take $20 from me to copy an exam though.

[Tyler Watt 🇨🇦 @tylerwatt]

The Ford government's $750 classroom gift card gimmick was insulting and admits that our schools are underfunded.

Asking teachers to buy classroom supplies is like asking nurses to shop for medical supplies before work because the hospital can't provide them.

Now we learn that $300 of the promised $750 isn't even new funding - it's being taken from existing education dollars. That's not an investment in public education. It's a shell game.

Ontario students and educators deserve properly funded classrooms, not government announcements that sound bigger than they really are. #onpoli #onted

@JBradshaw01 Sometimes the truth hurts. Never said they can't do something but they need to recognize there are some hurdles to face.

Friendly reminder that you should both get a library card and use it regularly, if you want to support your local library.

Ontario promised $750/year for teachers to buy supplies. It turns out it's not all new money https://t.co/54xfJME1e0

@JamesAFurey Not time management. It's job creep. Expected to do more and more with less and less. Time, resources, admin support, etc etc etc.

[Captain Dick @CaptainDick12]

Lets put things into context:
-Closing OSC = 219 people out of work.
-Breaking The Beer Store contract = 3,000 jobs lost, $612 million contract penalty, $1.4B lost tax revenue
-Failed Green Space development losses $8.3 billion
-Ontario Place costs - $2.2 billion over budget.

@DrAlexMHorton @fordnation Schools will be open in the fall. Nothing is going to happen in September.

Have you noticed how many stores are quietly refusing physical cash right now? They call it a ‘digital transition.’

It’s not.
