This is one of the most pathetic announcements I've seen from Dishonest Doug. Shortchanging schools by billions, but here's a $750 gift card for some teachers to buy toilet paper and basic supplies that schools can't afford. #onpoli #onted ctvnews.ca/windsor/articl…

BREAKING: The Ford government is changing Ontario's Freedom Of Information act system, effectively gutting a tool journalists use to obtain documents related to government decision-making: - The Premier, Ministers and their offices will all be excluded from the FOI system. - This applies to all existing requests - Only civil servants can be FOI'd - The government is extending the response timeline from 30 calendar days to 45 business days. #onpoli

@OSSTFD25TBU, “Budgets are more than financial documents. They reveal what a government truly values." Publicly funded education, from early learning to post-secondary, is worth fighting for‼️ The office crew at D25 in #Ottawa stands beside all Ed sector workers today. #RedForEd

Incredible turnout at the #OSAPProtest today.  Students, unions, and allies united against Ford's attack on affordability. With grants slashed to 25% max and loans dominating, we're seeing what happens when you mess with students’ futures.   I'm ready to fight back.  What's next?   Find out at: fixosapasap.ca

Ontario’s five major education unions are united in urging the government to begin bargaining as soon as possible, to best support students, families, teachers, and education workers. Schools are being stretched too thin. Classrooms are overcrowded. Supports for students with Special Education needs are lacking. Violence is rising. Staff shortages are growing. Teachers and education workers see firsthand how underfunding is affecting students. Ontario’s publicly funded education system must be properly supported so every student has the supports they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

GOLD!!!!! Team Canada has done it!! 🥇 Congratulations @teambradjacobs (Brad Jacobs, Marc Kennedy, Brett Gallant, Ben Hebert, Tyler Tardi) on bringing home the gold medal for Canada! #MilanoCortina2026 Player photos by @TeamCanada / Candice Ward

On December 6th, 1989, 14 women were murdered at Polytechnique Montréal just because they were women.  We remember them, and we confront the reality that gender-based violence continues in Canada. Femicide and intimate partner violence are rising. Misogynist, transphobic, and homophobic hate puts women, girls, and gender-diverse people at risk every day. First Nation, Métis, and Inuit women, girls, and Two-Spirit people face rates of violence more than 6x higher than non-Indigenous women. #OSSTF remains committed to safe, inclusive schools and workplaces. Our Women’s Advocate Program supports women members facing violence and harassment, and we continue to push governments to act, including calling on the Ford government to declare intimate partner violence an epidemic in Ontario. We remember them. We stand in solidarity. We demand action. Never again. Our full statement: bit.ly/4a4J1rb

CTV Ottawa's coverage of EQAO results highlighted what parents & educators have been saying all along. One Ottawa mother shared that with classes so large, “it’s impossible for teachers to identify students who need extra help, and those are where the gaps start.” Smaller class sizes are not a luxury. They are the foundation of early intervention, meaningful support, and student success. As #OSSTF President @marthahradowy stated: “Minister Calandra has inherited a system weakened by eight years of decisions made without listening to the people who work with students every day. He now has an opportunity to change course. OSSTF/FEESO and our members stand ready to bring our knowledge, experience, and commitment to the table to support meaningful improvements for students.” Parents are calling for change. Teachers & education workers are ready to help. The province must start listening to parents & staff to address the root causes of these gaps. #OntEd #OnPoli

While Doug Ford focuses attention on controversial ads, and distractions like pouring Crown Royal along with other gimmicks, he’s quietly dismantling rules meant to keep our elections free, fair & with limits on influence peddling. He’s put his own interests before our democracy.

Tell Ford #handsoffourschools and to kill #Bill33! Happy to attend a rally with dozens of fellow constituents at the office of MPP Darouze in #Carleton. Public education and our most vulnerable students are at risk. 6.3B$ has been removed by this gov’t! #Shame @osstf @OSSTFD25TBU

Two years ago, the RCMP launched a criminal investigation into Doug Ford’s Greenbelt Grab. Two years later, it’s déjà vu — Labour Minister David Piccini admits he personally picked which of his friends got millions from the Skills Development Fund. Doug Ford sets the example: get caught, apologize, then do it all over again.

This is criminal @fordnation

Endless corruption from the Ford government. It’s honestly impressive.

‘Something doesn’t smell right’: Over $100M in grants traced to lobbyists with ties to Doug Ford ctvnews.ca/toronto/politi…

Lobbyists tied to Doug Ford & his nephew helped clients secure $100M from a fund meant to train workers and build Ontario - a fund the Auditor General slammed as unfair & unaccountable. This is a $2.5B slush fund for friends, donors & operatives. #onpoli thetrillium.ca/news/politics/…

Over the last week, thanks to reporters from Global News, CityTV and The Trillium, we’ve learned just what Doug and his govt have really been up to during their prolonged 5 month summer break. And this is just 1 week’s worth of Ford revelations.🧐⤵️

Wondering why the Premier of #Ontario is suddenly flooding the news with speed camera ban announcements??? #Onpoli distraction

Today, OSSTF/FEESO honours the children and Survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. We reflect on Canada’s history, acknowledge ongoing injustices, and commit to meaningful action. September 30, 2025, marks the 5th National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The Government of Canada established the day as an opportunity for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to learn and reflect on the legacy of residential schools. It is also a day to support actions aimed at addressing the ongoing discrimination, oppression, and racism against First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples. Reconciliation is a journey—not just one day. We encourage everyone to take time to learn, listen, and act. This year, APTN, CBC/Radio-Canada and the @NCTR_UM are once again partnering to produce Remembering the Children: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the annual national commemorative gathering. 🖥️ Stream it live with @APTNNews at 3pm ET: bit.ly/4mTPYhz #NDTR #OrangeShirtDay, #EveryChildMatters #OSSTF

Happy to support @OPSEU workers on the line at @AlgonquinColleg ‼️More than 10,000 full-time college support staff are ON STRIKE. This is not just a fight for a contract – it’s about the future of student support. @osstf @OSSTFD25TBU Join a picket line 🫵opseupicketfinder.org
