During a food and housing affordability crisis, Doug Ford is ensuring that students graduate buried in debt before they can even land their first job. Find out how you can help here: www.ontariondp.ca/saveosap #OntEd #SaveOSAP

#OSSTF President Martha Hradowy spoke to the press this week on #OntEd school board takeovers: “These are not school board failures. They are predictable results of years of underfunding.” Supervision won’t fix problems. It’s a distraction from chronic underfunding. Read more: bit.ly/40h9Hi0

But students and parents say removing elected trustees leaves them without a representative at their schools. Ahnaaf Hassan, TDSB student trustee, said that he has not been able to meet this school year with the board's provincial supervisor about student issues. #OntEd www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“According to the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC), the overall arts and culture sector contributes $26 billion annually to Ontario’s GDP, that’s 3.3% of the province’s total output, and supports over 270,000 jobs.” #onpoli #onted

“By removing democratically elected trustees and replacing them with provincially appointed supervisors, the government has eliminated a critical layer of public accountability in public education.” ccla.org/press-releas...

"With the recent move to push aside the elected Peel District School Board, seven boards are now under direct provincial control.... Collectively, these boards serve more than 718,000 students – nearly 35 per cent of Ontario’s publicly funded student population." #OntEd

Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO) president David Mastin said the province has underfunded public education by $6.3 billion since 2018, citing a 2025 report by @ricardotranjan.bsky.social @ccpa-on.bsky.social #CanEd www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It's the old adage that a scientist can bring dinosaurs back to life but it takes a social scientist to tell you that's a bad idea.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #onted what we, as teachers in the system, have known all along.

I’m angry, you probably are too- send an email, make a call, sign a petition, attend a townhall, tell your friends. Let’s do it together (some resources put together but fed up piblic school parents) #onted #onpoli linktr.ee/forpublicsch...

This is probably a good time to mention the Ford appointed supervisor is getting paid $350k plus expenses to ignore parents… oh, and it’s a part time gig! Ford’s education minister is on record saying he approves of this. #onted #onpoli

As Sean says, don't take career advice from Nepo Babies. I have a degree in Women's Studies & I can't tell you how many "basket weaving" jokes I heard as a student. It's not only a lazy dudebro quip à la Bootstrapping, it's also sexist as hell. Treating woman-coded artisans as useless is booooring.

This is it. Trustees *are* the accountability. Appointed supervisors remove oversight, transparency and democratic process. #onted #onpoli

Taking over school boards, making things demonstrably worse for students, and lying about it. This is Ford. #onted #onpoli linktr.ee/forpublicsch...

It happened to me. My 6 y/o watching the Olympics, “I think I’d be really good at skeleton…luge looks too scary” 🫣

I've set up a recurring appointment for myself to call the office of the Ontario premier to politely complain about one decision a week. You could do the same. There are so many issues. It takes 5 minutes. 416-325-1941 Or email if you prefer [email protected]

TGI FONE FORD FRIDAY! Speak up for public schools, for local democracy, idk also the science centre and our conservation authorities. 💛💛💛 #onted #onpoli

Ford’s crony supervisors earn way more than all of your School Board Trustees do combined, all while doing way less! Supervisors make $350K, over 10x what an individual Trustee earns. #topoli #onpoli #onted

My “system” to be “organized”? That’s between me, my shiny new January notebook, and the countless little lists and notes scribbled on scrap paper as to not sully my notebook

This is murder, and we need to call it what it is: a choice to let people die rather than admit their errors. If you need any more proof of just how evil and self-serving IPAC-MAHA is, compare what they are doing with the requirements of the national workplace safety standard. I'll wait.

Uh... Ontario is in the middle of a big spike in COVID levels right now... ???

Adults are confusing the kids. The kids see the data. They know everyone should be masking in public indoor spaces. Some don't out of fear of being ridiculed by those who aren't wearing an N95.I applaud the kids who have the fortitude to do what they know is right regardless of what others think/say

Grade 6 children are VERY insightful! Much more intelligent and empathetic than ON 'public health' Overall, grade 6 students know public heath is lying about COVID numbers and inherent risk in all public indoor spaces. Unfortunately, kids see adults trusting public health messaging. Mixed message

#ETFO STATEMENT in support of & solidarity with the Elementary Teachers of Toronto & ETFO members at Bowmore Road Junior & Senior Public School. “ETFO calls on members to wear black on Feb 11 to oppose these egregious actions of this govt against educators & their unions.” #OntEd #OnLab #Bowmore

People outside of Canada need to realize Mark Carney has cut thousands of public service jobs and fast tracking neoliberal business and energy sales over Indigenous land and LGBTQ+ rights in the country. He's paving the way for fascism but getting credit as some brave leader calling out Trump

I can confirm that the needs of students continue to increase in #OntEd, while funding for direct suports for students continue to decrease. The result is an education system in crisis, where proactive support to keep kids safe and learning is often not possible. mcusercontent.com/f3c958efae9f...

We want our democratically elected trustees, local decision making in the hands of people who are actually accountable to our kids and who are a part of our communities and Fully Funded Public Education for all! #onted #onpoli

It’s Fone Ford Friday! Demand funding for public education that actually meets the costs of delivering that service. Demand local representation. It’s the most basic stuff they’re failing to deliver. #onted #onpoli

At the same time, the extent of the Washington Post layoffs highlight how it didn't matter how hardworking, loyal, smart, collaborative, award-winning, competitive, knowledgeable and devoted so many of the staff were. It wasn't enough to prevent being laid off by one of the richest men in the world.

It doesn't matter what the women said or did, how educated or successful they are, how faithful she is to her partner, anything. The Epstein files explicitly detail how these men (and their allies) emailed each other for advice and strategy on sex with girls and women, as well as helping each other.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

You know what Ford? You don’t like accountability? Why don’t YOU go get another job?!!

Why are elementary schools forced to have part of our PA day next Friday to talk about the importance of schools building relationships with the police? Education is in crisis mode and we have to welcome thugs with open arms to brutalize our students? No thanks. #OntEd #OnEdu #OnPoli

Classes so big, that students are left without chairs to sit on. TDSB Trustees capped Grade 4-8 class sizes to avoid this – but the Ford Conservatives’ appointed supervisor scrapped the cap. Ultra-large class sizes are coming this September, and our kids are paying the price. #cdnpoli
