Overheard while boarding the ferry this afternoon (con’t)
I’m also thinking ANYTIME you want to show school staff (support staff, teachers) how it’s done, I’ll bring the popcorn.

Overheard while boarding the ferry this afternoon:
Random dude: “Must be a sweet gig being a teacher. I could be a teacher.” (Said with an enviable amount of confidence and swagger)
Me: “Careful what you wish for”.
Random dude: “I’m an engineer”.
Me: “And?”

WATCH: @sid_seixeiro shares his thoughts on Premier Ford's announcement that the province is willing to rescind Bill 28 if CUPE agrees to show similar "gesture of good faith" - by ending the walkout and getting kids back to school.
The fact that the Ontario government walked back Bill 28 is a reminder that worker rights are human rights. That public education is worth fighting for. And that the people, united, can NEVER be defeated. ✊🏽
BREAKING: Statement from Education Minister Stephen Lecce:
“CUPE has agreed to withdraw their strike action and come back to the negotiating table. In return, at the earliest opportunity, we will revoke Bill 28 in its entirety and be at the table”

#UPDATE: Members of CUPE will stage a protest outside Queen's Park on Monday morning against Bill 28.
"If they can strip away education workers' Charter-protected right to strike, they can do the same to any other worker." #onted.

Ontario - 'Who do you blame most for schools being closed due to the strike?'
Ford Government: 62%
Education Workers: 38%

CUPE members in Ontario, your fight is our fight! Unions across Canada supported us in our battle to protect Charter rights and now we are here for you.
Our Rep Assembly just voted to send you $1million so you don’t have to back down. @CUPEOntario@osbcucscso#onted#cdnpoli
@fordnation and @Sflecce are violating workers’ charter-protected rights to bargain and strike. Add your name in solidarity with education workers: https://t.co/qIcc6I5zZG #OnPoli#39KIsNotEnough
Ford & his cabinet showed up to hear their minister expound for an hour, then all take off the moment the NDP Education Critic starts speaking, sharing direct # stories from education assistants, custodians etc. so deeply disrespectful. #onpoli#39kIsNotEnough#onted
In honour of #RedDressDay, we remember all the Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people who have gone missing or been murdered as a result of historical violence and systemic racism. (1/3)
