Victoria Day is a time to reflect on Canada’s enduring connection to the Crown and the traditions that shape our history. 👑🍁

We also look ahead to the installation of the 31st Governor General, the Honourable Louise Arbour.

Happy Victoria Day! 🕊️

Looking for references to student achievement in Bill 101: The “Putting Student Achievement First” Act…

[Catholic Teachers @OECTAProv]

Amidst #OntEd’s teacher recruitment & retention crisis, the Ford govt has “deliberately doubled down on a test they knew would have disproportionate impacts & lead to uneven outcomes,” says OTF President & Table Officer @oectagovernor.

As a general rule, any legislation that needs to be passed in the middle of the night, is not good legislation.

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

NEW: The Ford government has called a late night sitting to pass the budget during legislative off-hours.

If it gets 3rd reading tonight, it could be law as early as tomorrow.

Rendering the court decision for the Premier to hand over his cellphone records moot.
