NEW - The Financial Accountability Office found the Ford government spent $2.6 billion less than planned in the fiscal first quarter (April 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021).
“In the health sector, the Province did not spend any of the $2.7 billion COVID-19 Response transfer payment.”
NEW: The Financial Accountability Office has found the Ontario government didn't spend ANY of the $2.7 billion COVID19 Response transfer payment it received.
This money could have made schools safer for our children & prevented a lot of suffering (and deaths).
Just. Sickening.
The Ford government’s back-to-school plan was a letdown. We are still left with the important question: How does this plan differ from its predecessor? And how does the Ford government plan to keep our kids safe in schools? @sid_Seixeiro@citymelanie
Still no word on when kids go back to school in Ontario. Hopefully parents and teachers soon get the kind of assurances afforded to golfers and pickleball players.
If y’all support women’s sports, you should be paying attention to what the @NCAA did to the women at the Baton Rouge regional. My heart breaks for the seniors whose golf careers led to this moment, just for it to be taken from them.
BREAKING May 12: Peel and York Boards continue to stand with @fordnation against teachers, education workers, parents and children by agreeing to a terrible hybrid plan. Tell them "No!" #OntEd@osstf@OECTAProv@ETFOeducators
Hybrid classrooms being announced as "Cost Effective" means that education is being viewed as a profit-loss statement, and not as an investment. This is unacceptable.

Ontario's closure of outdoor recreational activities (including pickleball!) to control #COVID19 does not make sense.
Outdoor activities are vital for mental & physical health, especially with stay-at-home orders.
Science is clear: Outdoor COVID transmission is extremely rare.
Unions: schools are not safe!
Teachers: schools are not safe!
Doctors: schools are not safe!
CMOs: schools are not safe!
@Sflecce (zero medical training or work experience in a real classroom): schools remain safe!
Who do you believe? 🤔#FireLecce#OntEd#COVID19Ontario
After over a year of this I'm done. This is plain unacceptable & a suppression of a free press. On line for 2 hrs and 20 min today and skipped over for a question. The QP Press gallery exec. needs to do more. Cherry picking by Ford's office has continued for too long. #Onpoli

Now is a good time to remind everyone that there's currently 437333 vaccines sitting in freezers across this province, Toronto is reporting over 30,000+ empty slots, and yet @fordnation is still blaming the Federal government.

I’ve been told that this occurred in a SCHOOL PARKING LOT and the victim was a staff member eating lunch alone in her car, as many have been encouraged to do. Spread this far and wide #OntEd!

Reminder: if March Break was truly a public health risk, public health could have kept ALL schools in Ontario open. Instead, @Sflecce made the call, so only public schools would have to stay open. This is a petty political move, not a public health measure. #COVID19Ontario#onted
