We also need help manning our table to collect petition signatures and public engagement with folks passing by. Parents are not going to tolerate this govt taking away a proven, effective, self-sustaining road safety tool in school zones. Taking away speed cameras is a guaranteed death sentence.

Join Parents Against Speeding and FFSS in a literal marathon walk (42km) in circles around Doug Ford's constituency office. We're going to show him that we're in it for the long haul, and this fight is NOT over. Join us for a few laps, or a few hours. 964 Albion Rd Etobicoke Anytime between 12-8pm

It’s a PA day for children... for the adults it's FoneFordFriday - a great day to phone the Premier at 416-325-1941. Tell him to fund our schools, not call centres! Also, tell him to bring back our Trustees! #topoli #onpoli #onted

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 My office just uncovered that, buried in their Fall Economic Statement, Ford’s Conservatives are quietly seizing control of Exhibition Place. #ONpoli

1000% Just like removing speed cameras turned into $200,000,000 mob payout for “speed bumps” #FordFkdItUp

More Doug Ford sleeziness. #onpoli

Before expenses and staff supervisors hire. I’ve heard Rohit Gupta has hired an exec assistant, I don’t know what that salary will be.

And that's before the costs of the new family support offices too, and however many FTEs they need to pretend to replace the work done by the trustees before.

Remember, all of the education bills passed by Team Ford have been about the buildings and the real estate.

Canceling elections, especially when it is for the longest standing elected position in Canada seems a bit anti-democratic. Or do we only pay attention when it happens or may happen in other countries? www.cnn.com/2025/09/02/p...

Where is the funding coming from? Not from the Province, but from within the board's existing "resource complement".

Ministry of Ed unnamed responder directs me to the Supervisor. Meanwhile the question was quite direct. Why was this decision made so late & what data is it based on? How does it improve student success in these programs? Half a dozen emails so far and no answer. This is just the beginning.

I’m already seeing what this will look like in Ontario. Multiple emails to the TDSB supervisors and ministry of Ed with no answers to my questions about the sudden change to admissions for Specialized Programs. Supervisor response by some unnamed person directs me to the school board…

Yes, the cons had it in their initial platform and then decided not to follow through 😒 Without the school boards, parents and teachers end up in an endless loop with the province through the Centres for Ed. It's a nightmare.

Ford and Calandra justified taking over 5 school boards of Toronto public, Toronto Catholic, etc. by saying their finances were a mess. Where is the savings when provincial appointees can bill $1,000 per half-day of work, 3.5 days/ week to an annual total of $350K + $40K expenses?

This gov’t keeps saying “parent voice” this and “parent voice” that. I intend to continue making my parent voice very loud. I hope you’ll join me. #onted #onpoli

This would be news to Nova Scotians. I have not seen any announcement from the province to bring back elected school board trustees. In fact, the cons have been resisting it hard. But, yes, the current system doesn't work at all. Parents have no advocates.

Doug Ford’s been a fuck up for decades. Decades.

Stupid move. This is creeping govt Iideological) control and it detracts from parental/community involvement by priviledging one perspective.

So this is fun! Thank you @torontolifemag.bsky.social for giving recognition to this cause, and to everyone for helping fight back against provincial overreach to save our bike lanes: torontolife.com/deep-dives/t...

The Ford govt has proved that they have no interest in data, lessons learned or anything based in reality.

Education is a human right.

Yeah, but think about the money that can be made selling school lands to developers once we get those pesky trustees out of the way!

Ontario plans to eliminate all School Board Trustees, launching more expensive and poorer quality Student and Family Support Offices at Every School Board news.ontario.ca/en/release/1... #topoli #onpoli #onted

Ontario eliminates school boards. Alberta de-eliminates measles. The provinces are incompatible with democracy. Abolish the provinces

This is just the start. Ontario’s large and complex system cannot be run out of an office in Toronto. But Ford is signalling his intent to do just that. Stand up for local democratic institutions, like school boards. Our children need them to be responsive to local needs. #OntEd

It’s ASTOUNDING how little parents care about their child’s education, mental & physical health which will all be sacrificed in schools as further cuts are made Even if you don’t have kids- a healthy & educated society is CRUCIAL for a free & sovereign country 🇨🇦 May never recover from this

This is the death knell for Ontario School Board Trustees. These parent support offices (which every board will now have, not just the supervised ones) have been put in place after other jurisdictions eliminated Trustees. www.thestar.com/politics/pro... #topoli #onpoli #onted

Shorter Ford today: “hey, teachers. On top of everything else you have to do, now you have to go out on your own time and buy your own classroom supplies.”

I thought that this assignment of supervisor was to address financial concerns versus education-related matters. Lots to peel back on this role and scope of supervisor. Transparency is seriously missing! Doug’s answers to media scrum in #ottawa earlier today was total populist schtick in #onpoli

Doesn’t just worry trustees. Worries me too! It’ll worry you too if you care about like, education, transparency, public good in general. #onpoli #onted

Ford is making it easier to evict you. His government’s Bill 60 will make it easier for landlords to evict renters—in the middle of a housing crisis. More families, seniors & low-income tenants will lose their homes. Take action & sign: www.progresstoronto.ca/stop-fords-e... #onpoli #topoli

Bill 98s true purpose with the help of Bill 33

Both the Director of Education and the CFO of the Ottawa Carleton District School Board have been pushed out by Ford’s crony supervisor! 👀 OCDSB director of education Pino Buffone departs ottawacitizen.com/news/ocdsb-p... #topoli #onpoli #onted

Is this why Pino was terminated as well? Are they eyeing selling off OCDSB property?

Of course the entire school board supervision thing is about the Ford government selling land to their friends! The new grift is afoot! ‘I feel like they’re hiding something’: Secrecy at TDSB’s real estate arm worries trustees www.torontotoday.ca/local/educat... #topoli #onpoli #onted

With this new policy of a student attempting to apply to musical theatre or visual arts specialty would not qualify if they have a phys ed and say geography mark of 69% What are we even doing here?!?!

😡👇

Yup and weeks before admissions. Kids are in a panic and I can’t even get a reply from Gupta other than an email clearly written by an underling telling me the info on the TDSB site is enough. Sounds like he’s definitely worth the $350K we r gonna pay him 🙃

Break public institutions so that the public will be more accepting of privatization. Check

Is this the reason the Minister of Education ended school board meeting livestreaming? Now they can sell TDSB school board land from right under our nose! What Happens to TDSB’s $20 Billion Worth of Land Under Provincial Supervision? thelocal.to/tdsb-takeove... #topoli #onted

Terrible

Again, the governing ethos of Ford and his crew right here. Handing public money to their friends and benefactors. That's it. That's all there is.

So the Ford appointed supervisors will make more than all School Board Trustees combined, and that money will come out of the education budget that’s supposed to go to student needs. Shame! globalnews.ca/news/1151063... #topoli #onpoli #onted

Ontario Place #FordFkdItUp demolished 800 trees and selling public land to foreign corporation. Now he’s blowing our tax dollars on ads for his future casino. @chrisgloverndp.bsky.social @normsworld.bsky.social
