“Yes, it’s true that 6,399 Ontario students went to Quebec to study and benefitted from QC taxpayer dollars. But guess what? 6,456 Quebec students went to Ontario and benefitted from ON taxpayer dollars!” This piece is 🎯

@ToulasTake Thank you very much for your very well articulated piece in the Mtl Gazette today. It captured the issues perfectly.

The lowest paid education workers took on the Ford Conservatives and won.

Bill 28 will be repealed.

Now it's time for a good deal.

Bill 28 to be rescinded.

I'm so proud of every #CUPE education worker who despite threats from the Ford government, went ahead with the strike. You've shown that truly, power belongs to the people.

A standing ovation for CUPE & all unions fighting to protect workers' rights.

Thank you @waltonmom. You spoke with strength, grace, truth and equity, giving voice to so many.

Hey Doug, I’m a parent who wants my kids back in school
So, stop with the politics, repeal Bill 28 & pay CUPE workers fair wages
Hint: “Fair” means above poverty level w/ increases that keep up with inflation

So, anyone else waiting around for a decision of the Ontario Labour Relations Board tonight.

Or is it just us labour law nerds?

Thank you @timrgill. A valuable read for every educator and education administrator - anyone who has a stake in children's healthy development. It provides a strong understanding of a risk benefit assessment and the principle concepts related to risk.... https://t.co/M9vZKI4yrj

So nice to see kids take a stand against nonsensical rules! "Not too old to play!"

Want evidence for #playstreets? This systematic review just out: "In general, Play Streets provided safe places for child play, increased sense of community, and when measured, data suggest increased physical activity overall and during Play Streets"
