More cuts. Fewer supports. Bigger classes. At the #TDSB, hundreds of teaching positions are being eliminated while decisions are made without trustees or public input. “What you’re seeing here is that in the absence of trustees, the supervisor is really only caring about the bottom line of the budget and not about students or parents.” — @OSSTFtoronto President Michelle Teixeira “We were worried… our most marginalized students would bear the brunt of their cuts, and that is what we’re seeing.” — Helen Victoros, ETT “These cuts are going to be felt very deeply. There’s nothing left to cut from. Everyone’s already stretched thin.” — TDSB parent Students deserve better. #OSSTF #OntEd 🔗 bit.ly/4sZ7EvJ

This is all part of the Conservatives plan to sell off schools to developers. Today: Government forces the TDSB to cut 40 Vice Principals and schools to share those that remain, with up to 600 teacher roles also gone. Last week: Government-appointed TDSB supervisor forces appeal against a City of Toronto decision that would stop school sites being sold - to address a chronic funding shortfall entirely of Doug Ford’s own making. Toronto is a rapidly growing city, and the TDSB and our kids will need these schools in the future. 📺 City News Toronto

So, if we do the math here we know that students, especially those with special needs, are already falling through the cracks. How do LARGER CLASSROOMS with MORE STUDENTS and LESS TEACHERS help kids?! Its a recipe for student learning disaster AND unsafe work conditions!

Fun fact: communications in supervised boards are also controlled by the Ministry. So when you see a statement 'from' a school board under supervision, that's a Ministry-controlled/approved message. #onted #onpoli

These ads claim to be "paid for by the government of Ontario" but they are actually "paid for by Ontario taxpayers" @fordnation has no money for crumbling schools or overstuffed emergs or housing or food insecure Ontarians but he has lots of money- our money- for PR. #onpoli

So at what point will the teacher hating side of Twitter (and society in general) understand that fewer teachers isn't good for kids. Fewer EAs isn't good for kids. Fewer administrators isn't good for kids. Cutting programs isn't good for kids. Kids deserve better #onted

A reminder when reading about "the board" doing things in TDSB, "the board" is Paul Calandra.

The last time @fordnation went to Texas it was to meet with the CEO of 7-11 to tell him how he was wasting a billion taxpayer dollars so 7-11 could start profiting off of alcohol sales in Ontario 1 year earlier. What crooked deals is Ford planning now?

I met with industry leaders and partners across Texas last week to champion tariff-free trade between Canada and the United States, making the case for Ontario as the best place in the world to invest, create jobs and grow a business.

If you still support @fordnation, ask yourself what the CONS party has done for YOU, your family, friends, etc? Have they enriched your community? Made life easier? Supported or protected YOU? Made education, healthcare, other services more accessible? Lowered any of your bills?

Ford is trying to turn Ontario into a kleptocracy where his pals are appointed to all the power positions in regions and school boards so public purse is controlled by a few in his circle. It’s anti democratic and he’s more like Trump daily. Time for a general strike. #Onpoli
Reality hits hard🇨🇦 US is controlled by Putin@thesolo_HelenV

Taxpayers outraged as Ford, Con MPPs increased Ontario's debt to $500B received another pay raise after a 35% raise & voted themselves gold-plated pension plan. Barrie-area MPPs Downey & Khanjin salaries $213,939 in 2025, both up 29% from previous year. barrietoday.com/local-news/tax…

Ontario politicians are hiking their pay yet again this month. Even though MPPs gave themselves a MASSIVE 35% raise last year. This is just after the Ford government tabled a big borrowing budget for this year. MPPs are clearly focused on the wrong priorities.
