Speechless! Unbelievable! So out of touch with reality!
Students are returning to class. And we know they need to stay there.

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

It's funny the Jewish community is being accused of trying to control everything, but I can't remember the last time a Jewish person tried to force their religion on me, or govern the country based on what THEY believe in.

You may not be paying attention to who is running for school boards trustees...but you should! The far-right is running candidate who are making our schools more dangerous for queer, trans, and racialized youth @antihateca benandjerrys.ca/en/whats-new…

It’s not just you @CambridgeJayne …it is ridiculous that students on school buses won’t have to wear masks but on public transit they will.🤔 #wrdsbmtg

As someone who has been in a number of different schools supply teaching due to the board's fail to fill situation, I have yet to see any students eat their masks, or be denied the opportunity to eat. #wrdsb

What does a trip to space look like? Where do you sleep? What do you eat? Eeekkk how do you use the bathroom? So many questions! We have been exploring the answers and presenting our findings in a comic strip! Check them out. Would you want to travel to space? @wrdsb @smiwrdsb

Replying to @TCOrobin
I’m so sorry. As governments disengage from the pandemic, it’s essential that ethicists find a way to reallocate health resources, so that the non-emergency vaccinated don’t suffer or die because of the critically ill unvaccinated.

I don’t feel controlled by government when I wear a mask or get #COVID19Vaccine any more than I do wearing a seatbelt, deciding not to drink & drive or stopping at red light. I am vaccinated bc I want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. The common good matters.

Every time there is a lawful, respectful, educator union protest in Ontario the Premier has has been quick to attack and vilify educators in the media. Days before a protest, the day of, and days after. For the past three days….nothing!! Let that sink in…

Libraries need to be funded appropriately. This means funding for both books and staff.

I know so many of us are #DoneWithCovid but some of my sickest #COVID19 patients in hospital lately have been Delta. That's right. Omicron still dominates by far but let's not assume that all Covid exposures end "mildly". They don't.

I hope people are finally realizing the importance of libraries, the work they do to support their communities and how often they are under attack. Freedom to Read: Austin Public Library says it stands against book banning and censorship kut.org/austin/2021-12-29/fr…
