So, which church did God-loving, Christian, President Donald Trump attend on Easter Sunday? MAGA is so, so stupid. #Trump #Liar

@IMAO_ I expect this is meant to be comedy, but sadly, the world just thinks you are another dumb American. That’s where we are now.

Why are we letting a Canadian go to our moon?

@FixingEducation Sending my resignation email.

Educators…name something that has massively improved your mental health.

@CaptainDick12 @sunn_time We don’t even know if this is new money, or they will just reduce the money sent to boards by this amount.

BUT the Boards of Education had budgets to pay for classroom supplies until the Ford gov't cut their budgets by over $6.2 billion dollars. This is not a gift from the PC party. This is a flim flam con job for political points. Paul and Doug really need to learn ethics and honesty

@dremontiel @CP24 Not at all. The point is that you are directing your criticism to the wrong place when Ford takes federal transfers and spends them on private off-shore companies. He was given $4 billion from the feds to keep schools open during Covid. He kept them closed and pocked the $.

@NorthernGirrl @CP24 You care more about a foreign war than education and health services in your own country? … wow

‘Those days are done:’ Doug Ford says elementary teachers will no longer have to pay out of pocket for supplies cp24.com/local/toronto/…

@WxOntario1 Snow will be wet in the afternoon, so less blowing? Thanks

@NorthernGirrl Heaviest snowfall will be between 8am and 2pm, strong winds all day

⚠️ Significant Travel Impacts Likely Tomorrow ⚠️ Heavy snow is expected to move into SW #Ontario around 6/7 (🤓) am Strong winds gusting 50-80km/hr alongside will lead to significant blowing/ drifting across rural areas Snow spreads eastward through the morning/ afternoon 2-4cm/hr snowfall rates within the heaviest banding Bulk of the snow begins to wrap up from west to east early/ mid afternoon Snow will be wet and heavy at times, especially mid day when temps warm to near the freezing mark Strong winds persist into Saturday, continuing the blowing/ drifting snow Travel impacts likely for the AM and PM commute School bus cancelations are likely #OnWX #ONStorm

@WxOntario1 By around here, I mean Huron County.

@WxOntario1 AM looks worse than PM around here, right? Need to get a bus load of students to Pearson late afternoon.

@dremontiel @CP24 I would rather it went to blow Russian missiles out of the sky than to build a parking lot for a European spa company.

@NorthernGirrl @CP24 Ukraine money could have gone to provinces for school and healthcare.. but nope, better off laundering it

@jhlm2004 @osstf @marthahradowy How did she miss this? 🤦‍♀️

@osstf @marthahradowy And none of this money is going to the ppl she represents...this is only for elementary

The Ford government says supply cards will end teachers paying out of pocket for classroom supplies. But as #OSSTF President @marthahradowy told CTV News, the announcement is really an admission that classrooms are underfunded. “It’s like handing a firefighter a cheque and telling them to buy a hose before they show up to put out a fire.” The real solution is properly funding schools so the resources students need are already there. Our full statement: bit.ly/4lpeHep

@dremontiel @CP24 When did the Ontario gov give money to Ukraine? I must have missed that.

@CP24 Nah, how about another $1B to Ukraine instead !

@TinaYazdani He invited you into his office to go line-by-line through the past budgets. You should do it…and take an accountant and economist with you. Cameras on.

#NEW: the Ford government will be giving every teacher in Ontario a $750 card to buy classroom supplies starting this fall. It can be used to purchase arts & crafts materials, stationary products, posters & decor, paper towels & tissues.

@TDotResident He sounds like someone who knows he’s spewing pure bs. @TinaYazdani should sit down with him and go “line by line” through the budgets. She should bring an economist with her from the private sector. Then report on it.

This is some of the worst rambling we’ve heard in a while. What on earth does being higher on convention centre ranking la have to do with why he is cutting education???

@tailbouncer @ColinDMello Where was that in the platform?

@NorthernGirrl @ColinDMello Ford was elected on playing hardball in education.

Education Minister Paul Calandra on trustees: “Almost 40% of the population, the student population, the student population the province of Ontario is under the control of the Ministry of Education right now through supervisors across the province.” “I think my main job as a minister of education is to talk to students, to talk to parents and to talk to teachers, to talk to educators.”

@John88962453 @oiler3535 @fordnation No, Kris is making the point that THIS government added coding and other technologies into the K-12 curriculum, but never gave any funding for resources.

@oiler3535 @fordnation The more he gives the more people like you want bozo

Starting this September, we’re giving elementary school homeroom teachers across Ontario $750 annual Classroom Supplies Cards that they can use on arts and crafts, flash cards and other classroom supplies. Find out more about how we’re investing record funding directly into our education system so we can help students learn, grow and succeed: news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…

@tailbouncer @ColinDMello You clearly don’t know many teachers. They have no say in the policy decisions made by the Ministry of Education or school board admin. Unions have no power as boards just lawyer up against them. The unions aren’t the enemy. They are mostly impotent. Ford removed their power.

That should scare every single union dues paying public education employee. He’s about to remove all Trustees. Parents are standing up to the stuff that has been pushed into our schools under the guise that the rights of the child supersede the rights of the parents, as if being a teacher makes you an expert on child rearing. Our kids were used as lab rats for whole word, inclusion for inclusion sake, restorative justice and teachers are being given immunity from liability for passing on kids who can’t read. Your unions did not support the few teachers who have stood up and said NO to the lies being told to our children. That should scare you even more. Your own union has been instrumental in tarnishing the respect you are about to demand, respect you will need when you trigger labour actions. Parents are not the same after CoVid either. The lack of support is real. Ford has the cards that you dealt to him making parents ancillary and expecting us to pucker up.

@ColinDMello This is getting into satirical territory. Parents need to speak up.

NEW: The Ford government is unveiling a $750 “classroom supplies card” to be used on arts and crafts, stationery and paper products and yes, toilet paper. #onpoli

@Noellenarwhal @normsworld @MacLeodLisa I wouldn’t be lauding this province’s response to the pandemic, if I were you. Worst in the country by multiple metrics. Mistakes were made by many gov officials of both genders.

@MacLeodLisa He's not attacking her. He's highlighting her lack of qualifications. And you of all people should know how terribly an unqualified person can bungle up an important job, because you were embarrassingly unqualified for your position in government and destroyed so many lives

Wow, international women’s day is tomorrow and this turnip is attacking the very capable Heather Watt who raised children and led the health ministry as Chief of Staff during the pandemic. What has he done?

@coachsteve99 @MusingEducator @TDotResident @geoffmboyd @fordnation Says who?

@MusingEducator @TDotResident @geoffmboyd @fordnation There hasn’t been a penny cut from education. An educator should know that.

This is a huge scandal. Calandra seems to want to trigger a massive teacher strike or something???
