Don't believe Ford's fiction! ON is DEAD LAST in Canada when it comes to spending on critical programs such as health, #OntEd, the environment, income supports, etc. Ford is deliberately underfunding the public programs that Ontarians rely on! #OnPoli monitormag.ca/articles/ontar…

At a time when special education needs are increasing, school boards across the province are dealing with underfunding and deficits because the Ford government continues to shortchange public education! This cannot become normalized! #OntEd #OnPoli #OSSTF cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/g…

The Ford government wants to create a 2-tier health care system where patients will face user charges extra-billing for care when they are sick, elderly, in need & the least able to pay. We need to fight back! Say NO to privatization: ontariohealthcoalition.ca #OnPoli #Bill60

OUR FIRST 70,000 VOTES ARE IN! MASSIVE FIGHTBACK TO STOP THE PRIVATIZATION OF OUR HOSPITALS! Yesterday we launched the announcement of the first 500 voting stations & earlier this week we launched online voting at PublicHospitalVote.ca Watch & share our new video ⬇️

Pay attention @sFleece you don’t have the support you think you do #IStandWithCUPE #39kIsNotEnough #osstf
I’ve got a message for the Premier: scrap your anti-worker legislation, respect workers’ Charter rights, and get back to the bargaining table. #onted #39Kisnotenough #solidarity @CUPEOntario
That's the sound of public support @Sflecce! Get back to the table and bargain a fair deal. Education workers deserve better. #CUPE #osstf

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if CUPE workers are essential to keeping schools open and kids in class…then they are also essential enough to receive a decent wage. I urge you: Support CUPE workers…and stand against starvation wages everywhere. #IStandWithCUPE

365 days to a better Ontario
Ontario needs a govt that works for people. Ugh one more year of bad Cons but there's hope. I'll work to get @IanArthurMPP re-elected in #ygk so @OntarioNDP will be Govt. We know the fabulous @AndreaHorwath as Premier will lead with experience and caring. #RallyforON

Now there's increased awareness of importance of safe in-person learning, I assume: @fordnation will fully fund & implement needed school safety measures; @Sflecce won't proceed with legislating new permanent online model; Boards will receive $ to prevent use of hybrid. #OntEd

My heart is broken. Gavin was my brother, my partner in crime (and food) and my comic conspirator. I will see you in a bit Gavin. Tell the gang I will see them in a bit. Betty! It’s just you and me now.

Thank you Limestone DSB PIC for joining this call for a halt.
🚨BREAKING: Parent Committee Chairs from 76 public school boards call on Ford to halt plans for permanent online learning. The “proposal may be promoting the online learning option to the detriment of student well-being & undermining the integrity of our ed’n system.” #onted
