In November, the @broadbent held their annual Progress Gala, bringing together activists from across Canada for an evening to raise money for the good work Broadbent Institute does for working people. @OECTAProv was well represented! Thanks to the organizers for a great event.

Many thanks to the dozens of MPPs that took time to meet with Friends and Advocates of Catholic Education recently. Strong, publicly funded education benefits everyone, and Catholic schools are a proud part of that system.

The city was broke—but not broken. Drop Dead City, the 2025 documentary about NYC’s 1975 fiscal crisis, is out now. Don’t miss this smart, gripping and unexpectedly poignant story of urban survival, now streaming on all major platforms!

Bill 33 continues a long Ford Conservative Party tradition of democratic erosion in Ontario. Concentrating more education decision making in downtown Toronto will not help parents get the supports their children need. It’s a smokescreen designed to mask years of underfunding.

Recently, I visited teacher candidates at Brock University. Their enthusiasm for the profession was amazing and questions were fantastic. Thanks for inviting @otffeo!

Ontario teachers are paying out of pocket for basic classroom supplies, and while Premier Ford is promising them new “purchasing cards,” the head of the secondary teacher’s union @osstf tells us teachers don’t need special credit cards, they need properly-funded schools.

I was honoured to represent @otffeo at Queen’s Park today to remember the sacrifices of Canadian heroes, past and present, that defend our freedom and way of life. Their cause is now our cause in the preservation of democratic values. Lest We Forget.

With no new money for schools in the Ford govt’s mini budget, educators are calling it “deliberate neglect” of “struggling students,” @ETFOpresident. “If any parent is hoping their child will have smaller classes or supports in class - that’s not coming,” added @MaritStiles.
