My 11th year as a voting delegate & humbled to spend 3 days with passionate #CatholicTeachers at #OECTAAGM25 diving into elections, resolutions, and reaffirming that teaching is a true vocation. I’ve captured it all in a mind map! Check it out👇🏼! Until next year!🤓📝🍎 @OECTAProv

The Supreme Court of Canada struck down provisions of #Bill307, affirming it is unconstitutional. The Ford government must stop fighting the groups that protect Ontarians. #CatholicTeachers will hold an 11am media availability w/ @ETFOeducators and @osstf at 123 Queen St. W.

The hyperfocus on booze for this dude is really concerning. Cheap booze, underfunded education. Let’s be clear Ford needs us drunk & dumb to buy what he is selling. Vote him out
UPDATE - The PC Party is promising to remove the minimum price for liquor if re-elected, meaning the LCBO could sell it for as low as it wants. Asked about it, Ford says “That’s like a tax break” “Why do we have to have a base? Let’s reduce the cost of that” Watch

Alcohol and beer are mentioned more in the PC Party platform than education.

Ontario: bike lanes, Ontario Place, booze in corner stores, gas tax, $200 bribes... they're distractions to avoid the things Doug Ford has no answer for: • Healthcare • Education • Housing Stay focused. Stay vigilant. Ontario press/QP press gallery, do your damn jobs.

Unbelievable. @FordNation paid $4.3M in LEGAL COSTS to fight Ontario teachers, nurses, & public sector workers. #OntEd is in crisis. Hospitals are in crisis. The public dollars spent fighting for #Bill124 should've gone toward services Ontarians need. cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/b…

What could $3.2 B do in healthcare? Or in our schools? Or for people on ODSP? Or to rectify the workers harmed by the unconstitutional Bill 124?Or for the children with autism on the waitlist? I don’t want $200 I want the end of hallway healthcare, I want services! @OFLabour

In 1968 Finland banned for profit Education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents. It has been in the Top 3 in Education for the last 20 years. There should be no profit in Education or Healthcare.

Jeremy MacKenzie and his Diagolon group are planning a racist Hate Tour this summer and Hamilton is on the list of stops. Hoping that venues in #HamOn will deny rentals to this group. NOBODY should give this group any oxygen. cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/…

Click link below to see the results of recent @Pollara survey conducted re violence in our schools & the negative impact it is having on both our teachers & the students whom we serve. More supports are needed immediately to deal with this crisis situation @OECTAProv

Beyond rage this makes me want to weep for all the people I get to meet each week who are experiencing hunger and homelessness and desperately need their ODSP topped up by Ford yet he will spend $225 MILLION of our taxes to try and buy another election. Shameful. #Onpoli #ONpol
BREAKING: The Ford government is spending $225 million to speed up the implementation of beer and wine in corner stores. After Sept 5, all convenience stores province-wide will be able to sell beer and wine. After Oct 31, all grocery stores will be able to opt-in. #ONpoli

Replying to @Sflecce @otffeo
Here, I fixed your tweet for you: It's outrageous to me that we can't find workers to backfill spaces in this work environment I am intentionally underfunding and undermining!

In April 2023, the Ford govt gave schools $1,200 less per student than in 2018 (adjusted for inflation). We did the math. @FordNation & @Sflecce's inflationary cuts ✂️ have now risen to $1,357 per student📈 – almost $3 billion less for #onted schools. #CatholicTeachers

Temporarily increasing the number of days that #onted retired teachers can work is just another bandaid solution. The teacher recruitment and retention challenge is a systemic problem that requires systemic solutions. #opsba and @Sflecce need to focus on long-term improvements.
