Today we bargain for improvements to the @wrotl collective agreement. We need to put proactive language in place to attract and retain Occasional Teachers! Let's get a deal @wrdsb!

[Nathan Core @NathanRCore]

With a 95% member strike mandate and a recruitment and retention crisis, now is the time that @wrdsb needs to significantly improve processes and working conditions for occasional teachers.

@Anniekidder Fact - The Ontario government is privatizing education by stealth.

Fact - This is why supports for de-streaming (or anything really) are not in place.

@Sflecce @Sflecce posting empty words, yet again.

Bring back the Indigenous curriculum you cancelled. Fund Indigenous programs properly. Address the NSL teacher shortage.

And if you are going to use indigenous art in a post, name the artist

And that’s how you do that. Doug Ford is so stupid it’s actually incredible.

An informed public is the foundation of a functioning democracy.

My tweets have gotten longer as the #Greenbelt scandal has come to light, mostly because there is so much to talk about.

But also because I have always seen this platform, even in its changing form, as a mechanism to provide a window into good urbanism, municipal policy and governance, and the foundations of a liveable future (yes all of that usually leads to a lot of tweeting about bikes and affordable housing).

I’ve spent over 25 years advocating for the greenbelt, involved in research and policy development, and touting it on the world stage as foundational to our sustainable future. As Chief Planner I played a role in expanding it significantly through the inclusion of Urban River Valleys. The Greenbelt has made us the envy of the world. It’s something we’ve gotten right. We’ve linked it to policies focused on building housing in existing built up areas, intensification, transit expansion, access to nature, a safe and sustainable food and water supply, and creating complete communities.

The idea that a reckless, self-interested government can destroy it in a term or two is beyond comprehension to me. That they have done this using “deception” - the Integrity Commissioners words, is beyond the pale. That they have hid behind our truly devastating housing crisis, despite the Auditor General making it clear that “a shortage of land is not driving the housing crisis” is also beyond the pale.

But this is happening. And we need to get real about the fact that it is happening. Because the damage to our farmland, our regional centres, the impact on our commutes as a result of another layer of regional sprawl, and the distraction from building housing that we desperately need - it might just take us to our breaking point.

We are not surprised by yesterday’s targeted attack of a gender studies class at the University of Waterloo. It is an escalation of the rise in hate speech targeting trans and non-binary people which 2SLGBTQIA+ people have been ringing warning bells about.
