What do CAs do? First & foremost, CAs protect ppl & property from natural hazards like #floods, #erosion & #landslides by directing devt away from floodplains, wetlands, unstable slopes etc & reviewing planning applications to ensure devts aren’t adding risks downstream.🧵 1/14

Doug Ford is out to destroy the places we love, the land that feeds us and protects us, so a handful of rich land speculators can make billion$. And we the people of Ontario will pay the price. It’s disgusting, and we have to stop him. #onpoli

I am not an Ontarian, or a teacher, or an education assistant, but I have a perspective on the Ford government’s “Keeping Students in Schools Act”. I was Minister of Education in Alberta for 7 years, including the time the Charter was developed and enacted. #onted #onpoli

I have no idea what school will be like (or if it will happen at all) on Friday or into next week. As a parent, that's difficult. But make no mistake. This is not CUPE's fault. This is on the Ford government. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
