In a world of unpredictability, be dependable. Return that call or email. Set reminders on your phone or calendar. Use a to-do list. Do not promise what you cannot deliver. Do what you say you will do. Apologize when you drop the ball. We need more dependability.

Here’s a cat to remind you to stop doom-scrolling. Good night, friends.

Private, for-profit health insurance for medically necessary services. Worsened staffing shortages and wait times. We can't let this continue to unfold. Access to care should be based on medical need, not on how much money you have. www.ontariohealthcoalition.ca @onthealthcoalition.bsky.social

Canadian weapons are being used in the genocides in Sudan and Gaza, and our armoured vehicles by ICE agents in the US. At least 60% of arms exports are exempted from oversight and permitting requirements. Please ask your MP to vote YES on Bill C-233 @JennyKwanBC #NoMoreLoopholes

No Canadian support for ICE: Please consider signing this petition by MP @heathermcpherson.bsky.social www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

When Islamophobia and antisemitism are surging, and less than a year after promising to support these offices, dismantling the envoy positions is a betrayal. Mark Carney is breaking another commitment and sending a troubling signal to communities under threat. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Proud to support @jennykwan.bsky.social’s bill to close loopholes that let Canadian weapons be funnelled through the U.S. without oversight. With ICE abuses and U.S. arms transfers violating human rights, Canada must not be complicit. Call your MP. Join the Feb 17 Day of Action: ArmsEmbargoNow.ca

Nice to see the Ontario Liberals are using the same ranked ballot system as the Federal NDP to choose their new provincial leader in November. The Federal NDP leader will be chosen in March. Lots of political excitement ahead!

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...

Some people have a lap cat. I have a shoulder-cat.

How much learning time is lost to classroom evacuations? When a classroom is evacuated for student safety (multiple times per week for some #OntEd classes), students are quickly moved into a hallway or library.

Congratulations to all of our Canadian athletes competing in the 2026 Olympics. Which is your favourite sport?

When some folks from the 100 Victoria Street encampment reached out to ask about keeping folks warm on these cold nights, we were happy to find a way to help. Thank you to all of the donors who made this possible!

Instead of being given the funding necessary to hire more educational assistants and child and youth workers to proactively meet student needs and prevent meltdowns, school boards are given money to spend on Kevlar for educators. Make it make sense. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Anytime a Canadian public service of any kind comes on here, it's really worth boosting to ensure that they get a lot of follows from their users (also, public policy nerds). Keeping them on alternative social media requires decent engagement metrics.

Volunteer #librarians from around the world joined forces to build the Nancy Drew collection on Open Library—volunteering their time to organize series, verify editions, untangle authorship, and clean up metadata so anyone can discover these books.

I’m sure this company will be totally NOT evil… right? 😬

$400 wasted per Ontario household on this. With 5.49 million households in Ontario, this would pay for: -43, 920 Educational Assistants To keep our most vulnerable students with complex needs safe and learning at school. To keep all kids safe at school. #OntEd

We have raised $400 so far. We need a minimum of $800 to help pay for transportation, food, and lodging for Emily to attend Convention. Can you help? Donations get a tax receipt. sites.google.com/view/kitcenn...

Friends, we're thrilled to announce #Comics4Liam to encourage artists to draw pictures for Liam Conejo Ramos and share links to help Liam's family and other immigrants persecuted by ICE! Check out comics4liam.com and please do feel free to pitch in! Images by the great @trungles.com!

Don’t let them scam you. Billionaires want the rest of us in a race to the bottom while they make more in a day than the average worker sees in a year. Instead of trying to reduce the salaries and benefits of people making a living wage, how about we demand that ALL workers make a living wage?

This Ontario 👇👇💪!!! We need our high quality public education system to be funded properly! The learning environment of our students depends upon it...desperately!

A 4th term will be the last nail in the coffin for publicly funded education and healthcare. Calling all educators, education workers, physicians, nurses, and healthcare workers to mobilize NOW. Contact your local Ontario NDP riding association and find out how to get involved.

Listen and share this song 🎵 and contact your MPP. @eslfairy.bsky.social I’m sending you a hug and a fist of solidarity. 🥰 They are cutting down public schools because they foster community, collectivism and shared goals. We need to push back. ✊

“Repeal Bill 33” in song by the talented Kimiko Shibata

I hope you know That your continued existence Is an act of resistance And just how lucky the world is That you continue to resist. Keep going.

Here's a song I wrote tonight to work through my frustration with how Doug Ford and Paul Calandra are intentionally starving public schools of funds and then using the resulting deficit budgets as an excuse to take over school boards. #OntEd #RepealBill33

Super excited for the Year of the Horse to arrive in just a few weeks. Let’s goooooooo!!!

Did I spend a ridiculous amount of time walking around a giant parking garage today clicking my remote to find where I parked my car because I was late getting to an event and didn’t pay attention to where I parked? Why yes, yes I did.

Beautiful message and art by www.storypeople.com/sotd

One small bright light in this situation: “600 notes from current and former students as well as parents were sent yesterday to the school’s educators with words of support… we see you, we appreciate you … and we’re so grateful for you.” www.torontotoday.ca/local/educat... #OntEd

It always breaks my heart when I see someone in a parenting group posting their shock at being told that their nonverbal child with Autism will not be receiving 1:1 Educational Assistant support to keep them safe at school. This is the #OntEdReality. youtu.be/2yFBsHE2wAY

Help us raise funds for Ray of Hope in Kitchener, helping people living in poverty to access food, showers, laundry facilities, medical care, clothing, and community 365 days per year. secure.e2rm.com/registrant/T...

Josh Dickson is a force to be reckoned with. He understands the power of timely and clear communication, and is a tireless advocate for educator professional judgement and occupational health and safety. I can’t wait to vote for him on February 26th!

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

Not to brag or anything, but we've already raised $350 toward our $500 fundraising goal to support Ray of Hope. The Cambridge NDP Riding Association and Waterloo NDP are just starting out, and could use some love. Huron Bruce NDP has raised a whopping $600 already!! secure.e2rm.com/registrant/T...

They're asking Kieran Moore to emerge from his hidey-hole. "Ontario’s Immunization Advisory Committee released a report proposing that the province launch the action plan to help increase vaccination uptake in Ontario, to address misinformation & to improve knowledge of where gaps exist." #OnPoli

'Possible risk of autism in children. Dormant cancer cells awakening. Accelerating aging of the brain'. The last thing I said on my first call with a client regarding SARS-CoV-2, in late Jan 2020, was 'there will be significant sequelae'. It was obvious even then. www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-l...

Ministry: we will not give you enough money to keep up with inflation, and if you run a deficit we’ll take you over. School Boards: I guess we need to lay people off so we can balance the budget. Ministry: lay people off? That’s it. We’re taking you over. #OntEd www.newsbeep.com/ca/440721/

A new report from Ontario's largest healthcare union shows Doug Ford is planning cuts that will eliminate over 10,000 healthcare workers from hospitals. 10,000 nurses, PSWs, and frontline staff – gone.

These budget decisions look like something dreamed up south of the border. Canada needs to do better.

In case people have forgotten, in Ford’s first term, he was cutting college funding, so he could give cash to his buddy who owned a private Christian college. There was massive pushback, so Ford backed off…. Until now. Parents: be alarmed. Ford is privatizing schools. Yet we all pay education taxes.
