BREAKING: A new report by Ontario's Financial Accountability Office has found the Ontario government is underspending on healthcare by $21.3 billion.

They're underfunding our public healthcare system so they can implement private for-profit healthcare.

Don't let them fool you.

Ontario’s four teachers’ unions have been without a contract since last August, and it appears they are nowhere closer to reaching a deal with the Ford government. https://t.co/VrHBVEnTrj

Made a one-pager infographic on how to help manage your child’s cold at home, given the crisis unfolding in Ontario (and personally having a sick baby right now).
Please feel free to share with other parents.

NEW: Ontario voters seem to be pointing the finger at Premier Doug Ford, according to a new poll, blaming the Progressive Conservative government for the closure of classrooms in the fight with thousands of education-support workers.

We need both safe spaces and brave spaces for our students, for Indigenous knowledge to be shared, where students can call out oppression and racism, and where they can have a voice to share their stories. #tech4reconciliation

Pay them please. Thanks!

They are vital to the education system.

Who else thinks that CUPE education workers should get the raise they're asking for? ✋🏽

Provinces should be put on notice: any use of the notwithstanding clause to limit rights, particularly in the pre-emptive, blank-cheque manner that Ontario and Quebec have been using it, will be met with the traditional instrument of federal rights enforcement: disallowance.

[Yasir Naqvi 🇨🇦 @YasirNaqviCDN]

Use of notwithstanding clause in Ontario since 1982 (when Charter was enacted):

Ontario, we have a problem.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

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.
