During the #ETFOAM2026, @etfopresident said,
“This pause in bargaining may look like the calm before the storm, but the storm isn’t coming; it’s already here, and it’s been here for years,” he said.
Mastin added that, when negotiations do resume, the union “fully” expects the government to return with the same agenda that he says undermines #onted public education.
“It is an agenda that disrespects you, the hardworking educators in this province and it treats students as collateral damage.” https://t.co/yRj2trSZYv
“I work the front desk at a small doctor’s office, and I wish people could see what happens on the other side of the phone.
Every day, older patients call us confused.
They are told to use the patient portal, upload documents, check lab results online, fill out forms before the visit, and confirm everything through a link.
Some of them do not know what a portal is.
Some do not have a smartphone.
Some have one, but they are afraid to click the wrong thing.
Last week, a man in his late 80s called about his test results.
He said, “Ma’am, I don’t mean to bother you, but the computer says I have a message and I don’t know how to open it.”
He sounded ashamed.
That broke my heart.
He should not have to feel ashamed for needing a human being.
Technology can be helpful. I understand that.
But when people who built this country are made to feel helpless because everything became a login and a password, we have gone too far.
Not everything needs to be an app.
Not every answer should be hidden behind a screen.
Sometimes people need a voice.
A patient person.
A real human who says, “Don’t worry, I can help you.”
Progress should not leave seniors behind.
Because one day, the world will move faster than us too.
And I hope someone is kind enough to slow down.

Doug Ford spent 112 MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS on self-congratulatory ads.
WHAT THEY COULD HAVE BOUGHT:
· Support for 15,000 SENIORS for a YEAR
· 125 MRI scanners
· FINANCIAL AID for 31,000 Ontario students

Metrolinx just wrote off $500M in signalling upgrades that are now useless, per Global News. Meanwhile Ontario schools cut EA hours for special ed students. $500M could’ve funded years of 1:1 support for kids who need it most. Wrong priorities. #ONpoli#onted https://t.co/5R7gjE1TEW
I can't quote tweet this or repost it because Lecce has me blocked 🙄
I thought that Calandra dictated that graduations were not to be politicized? 🤔 #onted#onpoli
Last year @FordNation spent a record $112 MILLION on government ads.
TAXPAYER $ that could have bought -
🏥 5 million hours of HOME CARE
🧲 37 brand new MRI SCANNERS
🏠 HOUSING for 3,600+ homeless Ontarians for a YEAR
This makes my blood boil
@DFisman@raghu_venugopal
@TinaYazdani Disgusting waste of taxpayer funds. We have so many sectors in desperate need in Ontario- long-term care, education, housing, social services- and yet Doug Ford chooses to spend OUR money this way. It's not right.
IMPORTANT: This is a "share post" to try to mess with X Right Wing algorithms.
If you see Trump as a threat to life on earth. If you are an ally to LGBTQ. If you actually believe and push for human rights. Retweet!
If I don't already follow you I will....
Doug Ford is about to experience the full wrath of Ontarians.
They're in a bad mood.
The economy is tanking.
And Doug has crossed one too many lines. They're waking up to his corruption in a serious way for the first time.
This premiership is on its last legs.

#BREAKING: 73% of Ontarians say Doug Ford should not be allowed to change the law retroactively to bury his phone records.
64% say this is about avoiding accountability. 53% of his own PC voters say their MPPs should vote against it.
Will Doug Ford listen to Ontarians and release his phone records? https://t.co/xDRIF8HAe4
Doug Ford's Conservative government has failed children with special needs and autism once again.
The current government refuses to invest in special education. It's past due that they get the resources that they need.
//
Le gouvernement conservateur de Doug Ford a une nouvelle fois laissé tomber les enfants ayant des besoins spéciaux et ceux atteints d'autisme.
Le gouvernement actuel refuse d'investir dans l'éducation spécialisée. Il est grand temps que ces enfants bénéficient des ressources dont ils ont besoin.

“Never in my entire time as an MPP has someone told me they wanted a luxury spa in downtown Toronto, a fantasy island, or a highway under the 401. What I’ve heard from Ontarians is that they want hallway health care fixed, an extra educator in their child’s classroom, and safer highways.”
That’s exactly why we launched our Budget Report Card - to hold this government accountable on the issues that actually matter.
Because if this budget doesn’t deliver on lowering costs, fixing public services, and building real opportunities, it simply doesn’t pass the test.
💔 21 dialysis nurses cut at UHN (17 full-time, 4 part-time). Many spent their entire careers caring for patients whose lives depend on dialysis. Hospitals borrowing to pay staff while Ford gov’t spends billions elsewhere.
It guts me
It guts Ontario

BREAKING: While Trump was busy calling Carney "Governor," Europe was voting 482-108 to make Canada their most important ally on the planet.
Canada didn't get annexed.
Canada got adopted.
By 450 million Europeans who remember what we did at Normandy.

It’s International Women’s Day. In the past year Doug Ford’s Education Minister has stripped 59 democratically elected women of our seats. Many are mothers or grandmothers of children in the boards we were elected to serve, advocating for better for all our kids.

This is a really good article. Why don't we have all physicians and health care managed by the Federal Gov't with one HC plan. It would ensure equal health care and costs across Canada AND stop premiers from stealing transfer payments. Win - win?
