A new report from the FAO shows that this government has underspent on education by $844 million. Children are stuck in crowded classrooms, lacking the supports they need while Ford and Lecce tell Ontarians that they have made historic investments in our schools. 1/2 #onpoli

I’ve said before, I’ve never known an immigrant parent who isn’t as involved in their child’s education as they can be. It’s a huge and often racist misconception to assume that racialized parents don’t care because they’re not on the PTA or attending parents’ night.

New data by @PeopleforEd reveals that students and school staff are under “severe stress,” and mental health is top priority. ETFO calls on the province to provide adequate mental health resources and funding, and on school boards to deliver the comprehensive supports. #onpoli

The "status quo" has hospital ORs fully operational 40h per week. (8-4pm, M-F). The "innovative" idea is creating a parallel for-profit system with no designated regulator. @ongov could immediately increase capacity by 25% to 50h/week by funding extended OR hours from 7am-5pm.

Number of Ontario schools without access to psychologists doubled over past decade amid growing mental-health challenges, @PeopleforEd survey says theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

@tina_zita @oslacouncil @PDSB_Libraries Read for enjoyment Build thir own library

@tina_zita @oslacouncil @PDSB_Libraries Access books in their language + access dual language books Select books that appeal to them for whatever reason and not only books at "their level" Be encouraged to read picture books regardless of their age * all of which are current and in good condition

Hey library friends-educators-avid readers if you were creating a collection of reader’s rights (different from the Right to Read 😉) what would you include? How would you finish the sentence? Readers have the right to…. @oslacouncil @PDSB_Libraries #onted ❤️Shares appreciated

These are the same boards saying there is not enough physical space for smaller class size! This is not about half empty schools. This is about improperly funded schools. School closures mean frontline worker job cuts in order to balance the books cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

Ottawa Hospital opened up operating rooms to a private group of surgeons on Saturdays. Why is a public hospital w/ unused OR time allowing profit-making in its OR? What are the terms of the deal with the surgeons? Is @OntariosDoctors supportive? ottawacitizen.com/news/nurses-ra… #ONpoli

Even an ice storm couldn't stop these nurses in St. Catharines from advocating for themselves. Great turnout and energy! They deserve a chance to negotiate a fair deal with #onpoli for their first contract since working through a global pandemic. #Bill124 #SupportNurses

"When you’re the Premier, you are held to a higher standard than the average father of the bride, especially when the guest list includes lobbyists & developers who have since received suspiciously favourable changes to the law," said @maritstiles thestar.com/news/investiga… #onpoli

Toronto police have issued a public safety alert after a man tried to lure a child in the city’s west end earlier this week. toronto.ctvnews.ca/man-tried-to-l…

@FrankFerragine @breakfasttv There’s major (in)equity issues with the expectation that all students (and teachers) can “pivot” to online learning with no notice. It took a lot of support and coordination to make it happen during the heart of the pandemic, and it was still far from perfect… 1/2

Clearly those boards choosing to keep schools open today can’t possibly be working from home? Can they? 🫠 Asking for a friend! Looking at you @DPCDSBSchools and @PeelSchools #onted

Response to a shirt designed by Ryan Reynolds has been so overwhelming that the Terry Fox Foundation has launched an unprecedented pre-sale. toronto.ctvnews.ca/video?cid=sm%3…

Since the start of this year and the multiple reminders via Boards, the govt, that this is ‘back to normal’ - let me make it clear, this is NOT normal. Daily exhaustion, crammed hours with Board driven agendas, negative govt messaging, children struggling to learn … NOT NORMAL.

BREAKING: The City of Toronto has officially voted against implementing 24/7 warming centres to protect unhoused people from suffering & freezing to death. The way this city treats unhoused people is just disgusting.

NEW: Premier Doug Ford says he’s “disappointed” to hear the Federal environment say he could intervene in any Greenbelt development. “This is our jurisdiction.” #onpoli

Listen to this HERO and retweet the hell out of this clip. Time to march, #Ontario. And not just union members. EVERYONE. #onpoli #onted #FORDisCORRUPT #onhealth
