@l_stone Is SupplyOntario run by his friends that own Staples? Just another way to funnel money to his friends and remove it from education.

"It has been no secret that there has been a lot of challenges within the education system...we have to give our teachers the resources they need to help our kids succeed," says Education Minister Calandra at his announcement alongside Finance Minister Bethlenfalvy & Premier Ford

@ColinDMello Teachers have to use vouchers to buy TP for their schools, but he has billions for his friends to build stuff in Toronto that nobody wants. I really hope parents wake up and realize the damage this uneducated fool is doing to our schools.

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

@ColinDMello Let me guess - that money is coming out of the School Board budgets and the panel will include nobody with experience in education 🙄

NEW: With underwhelming EQAO scores, the Minister of Education is acknowledging that the Ford government’s own education strategy isn’t delivering the results the PC party was looking for. The government will now hire an advisory panel to review the tests, curriculum and funding. Each member will be paid upto $1,500 per day. #onpoli

@TinaYazdani @ETFOpresident @MaritStiles But he’s giving $9 million to his friends so that they can tell us for a second time that his stupid tunnel can’t be built. $9 million would help a lot of kids.

With no new money for schools in the Ford govt’s mini budget, educators are calling it “deliberate neglect” of “struggling students,” @ETFOpresident. “If any parent is hoping their child will have smaller classes or supports in class - that’s not coming,” added @MaritStiles.

@BlueJayHunter Thanks, Davis. Now, when my kid asks to have a sleepover with his teammates the night before a hockey game, I have zero leverage.

Game 1 World Series hero Addison Barger slept on Davis Schneider's pull-out couch last night. You can't make this stuff up.

@CityNewsTO I’m fine with the cameras being turned on 7am-5pm in school zones. That shows they’re invested in the safety of kids. There is no need for them to be turned on at 11:30pm on a Saturday hitting me with a ticket for going 5km/h over the limit on a 4-lane road. That’s a cash grab.

The Ford government will introduce legislation on Thursday that will eliminate speed cameras in Ontario, CityNews has confirmed. toronto.citynews.ca/2025/09/24/for…

Seems the # 1 priority of any society should be caring for the sick and providing safe places for kids to learn & grow. It’s more important than any other investment bc it’ll pay off in a million ways. I imagine it simply starts w/ good pay & treating these pro’s w/ dignity.

@ColinDMello They’ll claim this as an “investment” in education. But it’s not.

The Ford government has now re-tabled the 2022-23 budget, which will have at least 2 key changes: - A 5% increase in ODSP rates - a $225 million payment to parents to help children "catch up." #onpoli

@CityNewsKIT These dumbasses hit my neighbourhood last night. They didn’t deflate the tires of the giant pickup trucks, but deflated the small family crossover vehicles 🤔 Makes perfect sense.

I think some folks fail to appreciate how fully fucked up it is that Ford waited until the provincial election to make a childcare deal with the federal government.

@ColinDMello They’ll likely just take that money out of the education budget to make up for it.

$1.1 Billion. That’s how much waiving the licence plate renewal will cost the province. But the opposition isn’t dismissing the Ford government’s plan. toronto.ctvnews.ca/ontario-licenc… #onpoli

@FeelingFully @ColinDMello I’m referring to the staff shortages. At my school, we get on calls the day of - when there aren’t enough supply teachers. Staff may wake up symptomatic and not be able to come in. They won’t know we are short staffed until it’s too late.

@kbeaudz @ColinDMello He didn't actually say they would close at 30%. Just that they wouldn't tell parents until it hit 30%

NEW: Ontario parents will only be notified about a potential COVID-19 outbreak in a school when 30% of students and staff are absent. And schools will only close when there are "significant staff absences" that can't be filled with substitutes. #opoli

@ColinDMello Just like they’ve been “exploring” making schools safer for the past two years.

Premier Ford says the decisions his government made comes with cost to small business -- the government says they are "exploring" additional grants for impacted biz. #onpoli

@gator_gum Time for the Boards to figure out how screwed they are with staff isolating or that have Covid. It’s going to be a mess. Then the government can blame the teachers for why we are shut down.

If school opening is delayed by 2 days, what do you think the extra two days are for? What's the theory behind that?

Hey @arkellsmusic my sons hockey coach chose a perfect motto for their team this year ❤️ @KMHA_All
