I witnessed a beautiful interaction today let me share it with you. My city had a naked bike ride today to bring awareness to more sustainable environmental practices. Along their ride they ran into a Freedom Convoy protest (Canada’s equivalent to MAGA). 1/5 #yeg
With EQAO now being paused so that the platform can be tested, schools are now having to rearrange/postpone class trips, sporting events etc. Students were in tears because their work was not saved. Genuine Q:
Is it really in our students' best interests to keep going with this?
Teachers and students spend weeks preparing for @eqao tests.
Students work hard and enter meaningful responses to test questions only to have the EQAO site glitch and crash (again).
Now schools are left scrambling.
Fact: the best assessment for student learning is a teacher.
BREAKING May 26: Lecce rolled out new EQAO online assessments - testing down for 2x days! Student responses deleted or submitted blank. No help desk help!! WHY??
We have parts of the province without hydro, ppl waiting hours in E.R., kids in overcrowded classrooms, surgeries being cancelled, people going hungry, exhausted teachers, burnt out nurses, ppl with DA suffering and the only thing FORD can talk about is HIGHWAYS #VoteFordOutJune2
Our family has gone out several weekends now to advocate for our son Charlie and the autistic children in Ontario. The current Ontario Autism Program is broken and should be an important election issue for all parties #50KIsNotOk#onpoli
Ontario Conservatives are refusing to attend local debates across the province. They're refusing to answer questions. They're refusing to participate in democracy...So let's REFUSE TO RE-ELECT THEM.
This is what advocacy looks like. Big turnout to protest the entitled @MacLeodLisa, the minister responsible for creating a mess of Ontario’s autism program. The waitlist has doubled for these kids and the Ford government still has no functioning program.

Zuckerberg owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post.
Elon Musk owns Twitter.
When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
This weekend marks a holy trifecta for the Abrahmic faiths.
Happy Ramadan, Happy Easter, and Happy Passover.
May we all work together for a world based in peace and renewal. ❤️❤️❤️
PM @JustinTrudeau used our tax dollars to buy rapid tests for *all Ontarians*, and then Premier @fordnation prioritized their distribution to private schools and big businesses (staffed by vaccine-eligible adults). #ForThePeople indeed. #FreeTheRATs

The brave people of Ukraine are fighting for their freedom -- and for ours -- in the face of unspeakable violence and an unjust invasion. More than 4 million people, mostly women and children, have had to flee for their lives -- a population nearly the size of Ireland.
Katy Perry, Billie Eilish, The Weeknd, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Rita Ora and others will join Global Citizen’s pledging event to support the 'Stand Up for Ukraine' campaign on April 8, 2022 🇺🇦
