At Queen’s Park: OSSTF Pres. Martha Hradowy says strike voting for her union began on Friday and has seen a “high level” of participation and engagement from educators.
“People are tired of the larger class sizes, the lack of supports for students, and quite frankly, the lack of respect coming from Queens Park to teachers and education workers across this province.”
She called on the government to increase the education budget and says it’s currently being held together with “duct tape on a shoe string budget”

NEW: We have a copy of a letter sent to newly-elected trustees at school boards under Ford government supervision, laying out the sweeping restrictions they will face when they are sworn in later this month. This comes after the education minister accused some incoming trustees of trying to circumvent the rules.
Paul Calandra is defending the restrictions, saying parliament is "the ultimate voice of the people."

BREAKING: Virginia has just repealed its constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
And codified abortion rights into the state constitution.
On the same night.
This is not a blue wave. This is a tsunami.

If you haven’t taught in a classroom post-Covid, you don’t know what it is like to teach the modern student.
The students have changed.
Teaching has changed.
You have to be in the classroom daily to understand what I mean.

If you haven’t watched this yet please do.
I don’t care if you are Republican or Democrat, if this doesn’t move you to vote against the current state of affairs nothing will.
Our grandchildren will watch this clip in history class, to better understand the political climate during Trumpism.

Doug Ford is robbing Ontario students of the education they deserve.
Overcrowded classrooms. Rising violence. Burnt-out teachers and education workers. Schools literally crumbling.
Our students, parents, and education workers deserve better.
Tomorrow, people across Ontario are rallying to fight for the future of public education. It’s time to stand up for our schools, educators, and students. #onpoli #onted
