Parents defied the Ford government’s livestream ban at a school board committee meeting last night. They recorded & broadcast the TDSB’s special education meeting despite the education minister ordering them to stop. “Why on earth would there be any interest in suppressing this?”

✊🏽 Solidarity with OPSEU351 on Strike! ✊🏽 We stand firmly with the members of OPSEU351 who are currently on strike, fighting for fair pay, job security, and the respect they deserve. Their struggle is our struggle — and we’re proud to contribute to their hardship fund.

We're excited to announce ETFO President David Mastin as a Speaker at the Niagara Convention! David began his teaching career in 1995 with the Durham Board of Education (now Durham District School Board) after graduating from the University of Toronto. At the ETFO Durham Teacher Local, he served as local Treasurer, Secretary, Chief Negotiator, Political Action Chair, Second Vice-President and First Vice-President before being elected local President in 2015. David was first elected to ETFO’s Provincial Executive in 2013, he was elected Vice-President in 2019, First Vice-President in 2021 and President in 2025. With public education, equity, and workers’ rights under threat, David knows our greatest strength lies in unity, action, solidarity, and hope.

More than 10,000 full-time college support staff are ON STRIKE as of 12:01 a.m. This is not just a fight for a contract – it’s about the future of student support. We’re fighting because we know our students need us. Join a picket line near you 🫵 opseupicketfinder.org

🚨 WATCH THIS: Today's Fall Economic Statement proves it. With Doug Ford, you're not getting what you paid for.

Why do Conservatives take credit for Liberal initiatives? Do they really think citizens are this stupid? #onpoli had nothing to do with the NATIONAL daycare policy available in every Province & the territories from coast to coast to coast. #cdnpoli

Crowded classes are preventing our kids from getting the help they need to catch up from the pandemic. It's time for a cap on class sizes.
