🚨 BREAKING
Two senior officials overseeing elections inside the National Police Federation,
Canada’s largest police union with 20,000 RCMP members, just resigned.
Their resignation letter accuses the board of:
“Interference” in the election process
“Pressure” to control outcomes
Backing “handpicked candidates aligned with a planned succession of power”
“Stripping” the elections committee of independence
Suspending their credentials
Denying them access to election materials
Meanwhile, a separate court filing alleges $3.39 MILLION in union dues were paid to board directors, including president Brian Sauvé, without alerting the membership.
This is the union that represents every RCMP officer in Canada.
And it can’t even run its own elections without allegations of rigging.
If this is what happens inside Canada’s national police union,
imagine what’s happening everywhere else.

@JBradshaw01 I destroyed too many shirts teaching in a computer lab. Denim, tshirts with school hoodies are the every day attire. Clothing does not earn or lose respect unless the observer is only interested in the shallow view, technique and subject knowledge does the hard work for respect
English
I wear jeans and hoodies and/or super hero t-shirts most days.
In my first years of teaching I dressed more formally.
It just didn’t work for me, and the kids picked up on it.
A hill I will die on is that my clothes don’t determine my professionalism.

When did teacher’s attire take a turn? Teachers today dress like they are all teaching PE. Growing up all my teachers wore heels, dresses, slacks, dress shirts, hair was done. They looked put together. Teachers today look like they don’t care. the way you show up contributes to the environment you work in. this may be one of the factors into why kids behave the way they do. take the profession seriously so the kids can take you seriously

@TeamCdaAnon @TinaYazdani @JoanJardin Stupid talk. You are using the behaviour of the wealthiest children as the paradigm for all.
English
@TinaYazdani @JoanJardin The thing is, we started providing everything for students, & parents stopped buying even the bare necessities of crayons, markers, colour pencils, pencils, lined paper, binders.
Now they come to school with $60 water bottles & no school supplies.
This needs to change.

Premier Ford says his plan to give teachers $750 cards for classroom supplies is the “greatest thing” he’s done for public education.
Critics say the $66M investment doesn’t come close to closing a $6.3B funding gap & basics like crayons & tissues should be a given, not a gift.

@p3t3r03051472 @Garnet_2203 As an American you are obviously an expert on starved education systems, and it is shows.
English
Every educators are fucking hypocrite. When they are being treated unfairly they ask for support. When students are struggling to make end meet, and being treated unfairly, they turned their back on them, even instructors who have been in the students’ shoes bad mouth about students. When domestic students are not pursuing post secondary education those hypocrites educators are going to import massive amount of international students and smile in front of them saying that they are the future. This fucking country might as well end now.
English
Doug Ford spent years destroying public healthcare, public education, and OSAP.
Now his polls are collapsing and suddenly he “loves teachers” with a $750 gift card for toilet paper.
Nice try, Doug.

Asked whether the Ford government is using the purchase cards to placate teachers ahead of contract talks: “I find that question insulting. We don't placate anyone. We appreciate our teachers. But no, I love our teachers.” #onpoli
English
@JBradshaw01 This is the same political stunt the the Ford brothers performed at Toronto city hall in the past. They found no significant evidence of any inefficiencies but it generated a lot of political noise for them and sows unwarranted distrust and distraction on the system.

If part of the Ministry’s justification for taking over PDSB was to prevent layoffs, then it’s already not going well… 😬

@MikeJToronto @TDotResident Start calling Fords office writing letters people. He doesn’t like to loose the popularity contest

"These guys wanna spend over a billion - that's with a 'B' - of your hard-earned tax $ to build a new Science Centre, when donors offered to fix the old one for free? It's like they think $ grows on trees!!!" 🤨

@JBradshaw01 @MeggyG_inAB 35 years of teaching experience has demonstrated 24 students as the optimal class size, for student engagement and individual learning. I can talk to everyone in a 70 minute class, every student is accountable for their own learning and everyone can speak to the class.
English
@MeggyG_inAB I’m afraid that’s not an easy question. It depends of both the grade and subject, as well as special needs of the students. I only have first hand experience teaching grades 9-12 science.
But if I had to generalize based on my experience I would say around 24-26 in high school.
English
Okay, I’m tossing modesty out the window for this one. I’m a good teacher. A nationally recognized teacher…
This is one of the most god-awful takes on education I’ve ever heard.
As soon as you bring up college lecture halls for k-12 I know you know nothing about teaching kids.
Daniel Buck, “Youngest Old Man in Ed Reform”@MrDanielBuck
Hear me out: I’m convinced that INCREASING class sizes would actually improve education Why? How? Simple: Teacher quality is the single most important in-school factor Consider something radical: Double class sizes and you could cut the worst 50 percent of teachers Think “can hardly do middle school academics themselves” kind of teachers That also would allow SIGNIFICANTLY higher wages, drawing much higher quality candidates If schools actually have the stones to enforce discipline, there’s no reason a larger class would be more raucous. College lecture halls have hundreds of quiet students after all Only people this would really piss off are unions and low quality teachers. Well I say “stay mad” and improve schools regardless

You might think cheese and watermelon is really expensive in Canada right now...
But did you know that Canada is so absolutely broken that you can't even buy Canadian outdoor grown rolls of sod right now?
There isn't any available.... None. You can't even buy grass?
We are so screwed.
Thanks, Carney!

@Amazing_GracieL @gator_gum @PennMattox98599 Check the label on your toilet seat. It is probably made in China, as is the cell phone you just posted on
English
He has aligned his country with the CCP, the USA's number one adversary and a threat to the free world. Some neighbor.
Carney is a globalist and former Central Banker. He's doing exactly what you'd expect him to do.
Learn to speak Chinese because they will own Canada economically in the next 10-20 years.

@ZelenskyyUa No Zelenskyy No war! It’s that easy!
You started the war by threatening Russia with your imaginary NATO membership!
It’s all your fault! You need to be audited
English
I don't need historical shit to end this war and move to diplomacy. Because it's just a delay tactic. I read no less history books than Putin. And I learned a lot. I know more about his country than he knows about Ukraine. Simply because I have been to Russia – to many cities. And I knew a lot of people there. He has never been to Ukraine this many times. He was only in big cities. I went to small cities. From the northern part to the southern part. Everywhere. I know their mentality. That's why I don't want to lose time on all these things. It's about them. They decided to have such a system. The Russians decided to change themselves. The Russians decided that they needed a new Tsar. It's up to them.
But there is security. There is a big war waged against us. This is our lives. The only thing that I want to speak about with him is that I think that we need to resolve it in the most successful way. I mean to end this war quickly. That is why I want to speak only about such things.
English
This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official.
It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this. Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept and normalize it.

Fact check:
Justin Trudeau spent $81,000 in one year for groceries. This was post-divorce.
He also had a chef.
A steward.
And a driver.
You’re also neglecting the fact that Mark Carney has these same benefits as well.
In addition, for context, if Trudeau saved every dime he had from being the Prime Minister, after tax, on the high end, he would have $2.5 million. The avg would be just under $2 million.
Previous to this, he was a drama teacher.
The house he purchased was $4.26 million.
I’m not “mad” at either.
These are simply the facts.
Rage baiting at midnight is just sad and a new low, even for you.
English
Justin Trudeau has purchased a house. With his money... That he is paying for.
Poilievre lives on our dime. With his nannies, cooks, drivers, maids, etc.... Which we are paying for.
Guess which one the RW accounts are going to be mad at?

BREAKING: Liberal food inflation strikes again, with top economists expecting it to SURGE above 7% while Canada's economy continues to decline.
Voting Liberal has consequences..
English
What the HELL! 👇👇👇
Tell me what the HELL Mark Carney has done to deserve a majority government?
Higher unemployment?
More Tariffs?
Higher risk of recession or inflation?
Worsening crime?
Alining with China?
We deserve much better than this 👇👇👇

Canadians aren’t boycotting the U.S. because of POTUS. It’s because they’re poor.
Ignore Canadians on social who say otherwise - they’re lying to you.
StatsCan is clear - Canadians are broke. They have no money - just debt.
English
Canada is a failed country. If you can't see that, you are probably part of the problem. We have no more money, we print it. We have no law, we allow it. We have no identity, we gave it up. We have no social net, we invited the world to take advantage of us. Am done. Are you?

Resign now, you racist slob.
