A father, an activist, my words are my own. A voice for Labour and a choice made every day, to speak up! (he,him)

In times of great hardship. We stand together united as one family, unions have been the vehicle of that unity for decades. Lets respect the leadership of generations past today. We do not live to work. We work to live a life. @CanadianLabour @OFLabour @osstf respect.

[osstfkaren @karenosstf]

To the educators heading back into class tomorrow: Thank you for supporting this incredible population of students. You are vital and appreciated.

At the same time, you deserve to be safe. Please contact your local pres or h&s officer or both if you have any concerns #osstf 💜

"We are 6 ICU nurses short tonight. So far, they've been unable to find any replacements even with last minute incentives for agency nurses. This is dangerous for both nurses and patients"....says overworked charge nurse.

Doctors and scientists start their higher education journey somewhere. Who teaches them these important skills? It varies from university to university, but often lab coordinators like Alp Oran.

Brilliant. This i endorse…100%

I have decided that unless it’s for reports, or I’ve been struck by intense inspiration, I will NOT be doing work at home. Planning will get done at school. Marking will get done at school. My home is my sanctuary. Time with my aging parents is precious. A job is a job.

[Alexis Howell @alexish21st]

To P's/VP's - if staff are saying they are "fine", do not interpret as hybrid mod semester is working. They are coping in the worst learning conditions they have experienced. Are they shutting down more each day in order to be "fine"? Ask better questions. #NoHybridNo150 #onted

[Niru Philip @niru_philip]

Brilliantly put no more excuses. Get it done. #childcare

[Dr. Jill Andrew, PhD (she/her) @JILLSLASTWORD]

Hear that? The lowest rate of women in the workforce in 30 YEARS due to exorbitant costs of childcare that costs families 20K+ a year. @Sflecce's 1500 credit is a drop in the bucket of what's needed.

@fordnation NO more excuses. Get to the table. Sign the $10/day deal.

@lefthungry Apparently far too long. Seriously true story.

Teachers do more than deliver curriculum! We teach kids empathy, collaboration , tolerance, communication, problem solving, critical thinking, compassion, and pride in themselves! We build global citizens! #NoCutsToEducation #OSSTF #ETFO #AEFO #OECTA #StrikesHurtKids #onpoli

‘Teachers are often being given nothing more than a laptop, maybe an additional webcam or a microphone… and then being told to figure it out’

Dedicated virtual classrooms are a far superior model, NOT distracted hybrid learning. Students deserve better! https://t.co/C6M74E3QIz

So much healing yesterday spending time with my fam-jam in @DTKitchener.

Thank you @KWBookstore & A Second Look Books & Movies for helping us dig deep and find a little laughter during some challenging times. 💜

Maybe Canada shouldn’t vote for the party courting and supported by white supremacists.

Since the end of July, we have re-located approximately 122,300 people.

Teachers that genuinely value what every student brings to their class will always work to supply them with the educational needs for school and beyond. As Dewey said,"education is a social process; education is growth; education is not preparation for life, but is life itself.”

The power and force of water. Ida Hurricane. Seriously powerful. Thinking of all of our neighbours the the south. Be safe and stay safe.
