The Ford government is starting out this session the same way they do every session — ramming through legislation without consulting with the people of Ontario. That’s why I voted NO on their motion to fast track three government bills. Debate and public consultation are

NEW: Executives and owners of a number of organizations that received SDF money from the Ford gov’t quickly donated money right back to the PC Party. Critics are calling it a “circular economy” and a “scheme.” https://t.co/egJwBKKHap

Congratulations Trustee Pei, this has been your big priority. I believe however that the reversal may be more tied to your relationship with the Minister & @OntarioPCParty as opposed to any advocacy. As too many Ontario developers can attest, the PC’s “always pay their debts!”
I am thankful and relieved that the TDSB has ended its specialized programs lottery and reinstated merit-based admissions. Once again, hard work will mean something in Toronto’s public schools. Please see my statement below. https://t.co/smTMkUhjrN

Well, guess what folks? What a relief. I did it again. Thanks to my Reagan anti-tariff commercial, no one in Ontario is talking about the bombshell AG report, Piccini, Paris wedding, Leafs game, & PC friendly donors benefiting from the Skills Slush Fund.

Families of students who access Special Education programming often aren’t able to attend in person, as @PaulCalandra suggests. A preview of Bill 33, one man decides & parents are excluded from advocating & supporting their child. The system is better when all voices are heard!
UPDATE: Ontario’s education minister tells us he will be upholding a livestream ban of school board committee meetings. Special ed advocates are furious: “the truth is, the man can't take criticism & doesn't want attention on the fact that he’s making terrible cuts to education.”

“A child with autism has the same right as any other child to be at school,” but a growing number can’t attend due to a lack of special supports, @OntAutism says. The waitlist for core services has also tripled under the Ford govt, with students now waiting an avg of 5 years.

The Minister’s hand picked Supervisor did as instructed, with no transparency, student or parental involvement. This is a Bill 33 preview, one person, from his office on University Ave. making decisions about local school programs. This effectively shuts out parents and students!
The Ford appointed TDSB Supervisor changed the high school specialized programs admissions process without consultation, giving people 3 weeks notice to adapt to the new system. Completely incompetent! https://t.co/DA7Rhp0v7U

If Ford eliminates Trustees decisions about schools will be made entirely from Queen’s Park. Let’s protect local democracy & ensure every parent and community has a say in how schools are run. Sign the petition! https://t.co/nNahne0EvG

Ontario’s public school boards give families a real voice in education. Now, that voice is at risk.
