My message to Alberta teachers is simple: you will not stand alone. Tomorrow all other Alberta unions will meet to finalize a plan for unprecedented collective action. The executive council of the Canadian Labour Congress will also meet in emergency session.

NEW: The Ford government is making changes to Ontario’s election rules that could keep Premier Ford in office until 2030. The PCs dropped the bombshell in the afternoon of an already busy news day. They’re also raising the limits for political donations from $3,400 to $5,000.

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.”

The Premier can insult me all he wants, but that's not going to undo his jobs disaster. His non-answers are an insult to the thousands of workers devastated by job losses. We need a plan to uplift workers and families. The Premier's schoolyard bully tactics can't fix this.
"I'm speechless right now," says Premier Doug Ford in the Ontario Legislature as he faces questions over the state of the auto sector and attacks the NDP as "never having run a lemonade state" Ford says his government "has a strong plan" for job creation and growth. "We're

BREAKING: The Ford government capitulates. The premier says Ontario has “achieved its goal” and will pull the commercial next week, but only after it airs twice during the World Series. The decision comes after Ford spoke with the PM #onpoli #cdnpoli
Our intention was always to initiate a conversation about the kind of economy that Americans want to build and the impact of tariffs on workers and businesses. We've achieved our goal, having reached U.S. audiences at the highest levels. I've directed my team to keep putting our

“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.

Lost in the news cycle: Ontario’s elementary teachers rally at Queen’s Park against the possible elimination of elected school trustees: “it will centralize power, harm students, and strip communities of their right to shape public education,” said @ETFOpresident @ETFOeducators.

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.

1993 tickets to the 100 level for the World Series cost 67 dollars and accounting for inflation 152 dollars today. 2025 a tickets to the 200 level is 11,000 plus tax If this isn’t a reflection of the greed we allow to happen today. We need ticket price regulations
