The PIAC meeting will be the only time TDSB staff present the proposed budget. It's critical that decision-makers know parents, students, educators, and community members are paying attention. Join us and help show that our school communities are demanding better for our students.

Proud to spend Sunday giving back to our community alongside Councillor Anthony Perruzza, MPP Tom Rakocevic, and the amazing Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association. When we work together, we create cleaner parks, stronger neighbourhoods, and a brighter future for our students.🌲

Teachers across Ontario are working with increasingly complex classrooms, where academic needs, behavioural needs, and mental health needs are all present at once — often without the staffing levels required to properly support them. #BlueSkyEd

TDSB parents, mark your calendars! PIAC is hosting a special budget meeting for 2026–2027. The board has not given parents information yet of what to expect next year. Come make your voice heard. June 3rd from 7-8 Pm

Steven Guilbeault: "If you look at our campaign platform during the last election, commitments that we made to Canadians, mentioned climate change 28x. It did not mention pipelines once. So I think rightfully so, some people are wondering what is happening."

Steven Guilbeault: "I think I was a very convenient scapegoat for some people and I think unfortunately the issue of climate change is now caught in this culture wars that we're seeing in the US with the MAGA movement, and we're certainly seeing it in Canada as well."

This is bigger than a campaign — it’s about fighting for students, families, and a future that works for everyone. And trust me, the fight is far from over!

Yesterday, I officially signed the documents to declare my candidacy for School Board Trustee. This is more than a campaign — it’s a commitment to students, families, educators, and the future of our schools. Let’s build stronger schools together. 📚✍️

A great example of why people need to stop taking politicians at their word, and look solely at their actions. Both Carney and Smith claim to be for Canadian unity, but clearly they are both heavily promoting the sale of Alberta, and it's resources, to the US via their actions and backroom deals.

Because Canadians: a) are still wilfully deluded about who he is, b) loathe and fear Poilievre and will accept any better alternative, c) do not understand how a multi-party parliamentary democracy works and think it's a binary choice. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Memo to the global community: Canada has officially abandoned climate action. PM Carney has systematically dismantled all the insufficient policy we had in place. A clear-eyed and devastating piece by my brother, @sethdklein.bsky.social. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

CANADA: Carney government eying curbs on right to strike, labour leaders warn www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Are you kidding me? $4-5 BILLION to expand Billy Bishop Airport?!?! WTF will it take to get @mark-carney.bsky.social & his #LPC government to say #NoJetsTO once and for all? Especially with Pearson undergoing their own improvements. #shame #TOpoli #ONpoli #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/news/ontario...

Ontario’s education crisis isn’t “mismanagement” — it’s chronic underfunding. Schools are being asked to do more with less, and students, educators, and families are paying the price. Public education needs investment, not blame. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Give me some of whatever this guy is smoking.

Just quit Google. They hate you anyway. Use Firefox or Duck Duck Go or any of the many alternatives.

Back in March, we had the privilege of visiting the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg. A powerful experience reflecting on dignity, equality, and the resilience of Indigenous communities whose stories continue to shape Canada’s past, present, and future. ✊

All 56,000 TDSB students in model schools deserve opportunity, support, and a future - Not cuts! All the schools in my area will be impacted by these changes. I know how important model schools are for students across our communities which is why we need to protect model schools.

Carney announces environment to be eliminated as cost-cutting measure

See this is the problem with economists. What I want my Prime Minister to do is build the Nation. The economy is part of that, but not even close to all of it. We live in a nation, not an economy.

The Supervisor at the TDSB is cutting parent engagement resources, outdoor education, heritage months and adult schools. These are all important things that will affect learning. This will hurt communities across Toronto. www.thestar.com/news/gta/the...

A new high in Trump disapproval in our average. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Kinda weird no one's calling this World War Trump. He's just exploding shit all throughout the world with no care for second order effects. It really is just him vs. everybody, and you'll only be spared if you seed intimidating shirtless AI pictures of your own country's dictator onto TruthSocial.

An incredibly dystopian headline.

We just don't get the funding that we need for special education!! Ontario school boards spending $380M more on special education than they receive in funding: auditor general www.thestar.com/news/ontario...

The level of entitlement by the ultrawealthy is stunning. The sad, I've heard similar attitudes by "regular" wealthy people to small increases in taxes. e.g. a 1% or 2% increase in the margin income tax rate. In Canada, they mostly vote Cons b/c hoarding wealth is their highest priority.

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

"Surely, Canada Strong includes health care, too. Without healthy Canadians, there is no Canada Strong." Research Fellow @danyaalraza.com calls for federal leadership on health care as a nation-building project. 🔗 www.hilltimes.com/2026/05/06/m...

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

May 5 is Red Dress Day, the national day of awareness and remembrance for missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQ+ people. Today is about honouring those taken and recognizing the ongoing impact on families and communities.

In any case, Canadians should not be fooled. Mark Carney may be talking like a Nordic social democrat but he is governing like a Thatcherite. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

We seriously should treat sports betting ads like cigarette ads: ban them.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has maintained the double standards in international affairs that he condemned in his viral Davos speech, says @avilewis.ca, leader of the left-wing New Democratic Party.

Anyone even remotely familiar with the concept and history of "nation-building" knows that social policy is, arguably, its most important component.

RJ Barrett is averaging 24.3 points this series, third-most by in a postseason in Raptors franchise history.

Workers are the economy. That’s why capitalists need them and hate them. Happy May Day! ✊

The world watched as Israel razed Gaza to the ground. Now, the world is watching as Israel razes Lebanon to the ground. War crimes beget war crimes — and the failure to bring Israel to justice for genocide has emboldened it to destroy human life with total impunity.

Avi Lewis: "Look at the beginning of this document and all of the bankers at the banquet who are the private sector economists on whose forecasts everything is built. Where are the trade unions... where are the representatives of working-class people?"
