When you pull your child from class, you are responsible to supervise them during that time as well!
In Canada, you have the option to remove your child from both religious studies and sex education at any time. However, you do not have the option to remove other people's children from those same classes. *Reminder for those protesting, your province sets the curriculum.

Thank you to all the Ontarians who stood against the Ford Greenbelt developer debacle. And thank you to all the journalists who dug deep to find out the truth about what was really going on. You made this happen!💪
BREAKING: Premier Doug Ford says his government will completely reverse the Greenbelt land swap decision. “It was a mistake to open the Greenbelt.” #Onpoli

Yesterday’s official opening of the wonderful Freedom Museum in #Groesbeek provided a timely reminder that freedom can never be taken for granted and must be defended. @Never1Story @bergendalgem

Great ally: @hrw says Orbán’s govt has delivered sustained “attacks on rule of law & public institutions”, European Court of Justice repeatedly ruled Orbán violates EU migration laws w/ policies hostile to asylum claimants. And he says Ukraine must concede to Russia. 🙄
Had a great meeting today with @IDUAlliance Chairman @stephenharper . International cooperation between right-wing, conservative parties is more important than ever. Chairman Harper is a great ally in this respect. Thank you for your support, Mr. Chairman!

TRUE! ... The politics of race discriminates on so many levels ... there are more people in the world whose first language is not English than there are first language English speakers!
Are you ready for a paradigm shift? Our Black, Asian, Brown, dual-heritage, indigenous, and other students of color are not minorities. In fact, they are "minoritized." They ARE the global majority.

Remember your commitment to her ... honour both her and your commitment. She has fought a long and hard fight ... seeing her through to the end ... as a witness to her life, tell her stories. In doing so, you bring dignity to her and her battle with a terrible disease.
I'm in tears watching the shell of a woman I've loved for 40 years shuffling around the room, mumbling to her hallucinations and breaking her heart about something only she can see or hear. I no longer see any sign of the pre Alzheimer's Anne and it's breaking my heart. 🥺

The fact that Toronto voted @oliviachow as mayor is a signal that people are done with austerity & policies that hurt the most vulnerable. People want better public spaces, transit, housing & compassion for the most vulnerable. Optimism. Hope. Change. It's a new day Toronto 🙏🏾

It’s amazing to see that Toronto voted to end austerity. Voted to fund transit, housing, community supports and climate action. Voted for its third ever woman & first ever racialized mayor in the city's history. Congrats @oliviachow and congrats Toronto! 🎉
