Why is every dollar of Ontario's new classroom supply fund locked into an American-owned chain, in the middle of a trade war, when Canadian retailers are right there?
The Premier must cancel the Staples deal today. And then he must recall the legislature so we can pass emergency tariff relief now.
Doug Ford and his government can disappear for five months on a taxpayer-funded break while continuing to collect their very comfortable taxpayer-funded salaries, and somehow find the time to spend OUR tax dollars on ads attacking Ontario’s teachers.
Think about that.
Teachers. The people we entrust with our children every single day.
Instead of smaller classes, more EAs, better special-education supports and properly funded schools, Ford would rather spend public money trying to turn the public against educators.
Why?
Because an educated population asks questions. Critical thinkers are harder to manipulate. Strong public education gives children the tools to challenge governments, corporations and people in power and Ford’s actions make it increasingly difficult to believe that’s what he wants.
And let’s not ignore something else: teaching is a female-dominated profession. When a government repeatedly picks fights with educators, nurses and other predominantly female public-sector workforces, people have every right to question that pattern.
Stop using OUR money to attack teachers.
Use it to fund classrooms. Hire EAs. Reduce class sizes. Support special education. Fix our schools.
Ontario’s teachers are not the enemy.
Underfunding public education is.
The Ford government is usurping the powers and authorities of elected municipal governments across Ontario. He is replacing them with cronies who only answer to him and are there to serve Doug Ford's donors. It's an anti-democrati coup in the dog.days of summer. Everyone's asleep
The biggest exporter of Canadian jobs to the U.S. is Doug Ford & Lecce:
• $1B for private companies administering Ontario gov programs
• $9B Ontario Line trains from U.S.
• $21B for four U.S. nuclear reactors
• $140M U.S. Trillium Hospital
As Premier Doug Ford was asked about the OSAP changes, he thundered back, calling the Ontario Liberals a "bunch of amateurs" who would bankrupt a lemonade stand.
Note: Under Ford, Ontario's debt will grow to half-a-trillion and the budget has yet to be balanced.

Ford wants you to be angry with teachers if they decide they have to strike during the school year. The teachers had always planned to have all of the negotiations completed before Labour Day. If there's a strike and your kids are at home, direct your rage at Ford and Calandra.
This Ford caucus MPP from Peterborough usually gets close to no reaction to any of his Tweets. Yesterday, like a good soldier, he tweeted his "concern" about high speed rail, a federal project with high support from the people of Peterborough. It didn't go well for him.
Jared Kushner holds no government position.
Yet he is our Middle East Envoy.
The Saudis have paid him $100M and invested $2B in his firm.
He pushed for Saudi nuclear enrichment over the objection of national security officials.
Today his father-in-law made it happen.
But what about my paintings…
I'm dizzy from how much Ontario's Education Minister is spinning this.
Students and education workers deserve a government that listens and invests in our public education system. Not a government that lies and spins. #onpoli#onted
A poll shows your approval rating is tanking? Call it fake.
A crowd photo looks bad? Edit it.
Doug Ford is borrowing a few too many pages from Donald Trump's playbook. Let’s not normalize this. #onpoli
@Angry_Staffer Do you all remember when Donny wanted to invite the Taliban to our White House?
Remember when he helped the Al-Quaeda terrorist rule Syria and he had him over to our Whote House?
Why does Donny love terrorists so much?
Trump lies constantly and he is desperate for the Iran war to be over. So desperate that he’s giving Iran 20 times the money Obama did, and getting nothing in return, except an open strait that Iran will charge a “maintenance fee” to all ships. Well done, bozo
