Conservatives will twist and spin it any way they can, but what happened today was an absolute win for labour unions in Ontario and an embarrassment for @fordnation, but he brought it on himself.

FYI @fordnation - we are one of the biggest private sector unions in the province, and NO, we do not have a “good relationship.” We are with @CUPEOntario @cupenat #39kIsNotEnough #ONLab

The approximate annual cost for the raise requested by CUPE is $264m. The $200 per child bribe Lecce recently gave out cost around $365m. The license plate renewal fee brought in approximately $1b each year.

Some people are saying that @osbcucscso workers deserve only $39k because theirs is “unskilled” work. Here I am wondering exactly what “skills” are required to be Minister of Education. 🤷🏾♂️ #CUPESolidarity #onted

🚨 Today @JustinTrudeau asked @PierrePoilievre *6 TIMES* to condemn @fordnation’s use of the #notwithstandingclause. You will never believe what PP ended up saying. Wait for it… #cdnpoli #onpoli

Let's not forget that Ford had no issue giving 73 MPPs on his side of the House a pay bump of $16,000. But education workers earning $40,000 or less are greedy and unreasonable? Make it make sense, @fordnation. #OntEd #39kIsNotEnough #ONpoli

As you hear about CUPE strike action, never forget that @Sflecce took $465 million out of the education budget to pay parents, when $235 million would have avoided a strike. #39KIsNotEnough #onted #IStandWithCUPE

I'll share this essay I wrote about being a @MapleLeafs fan for @thewalrus at the start of every regular season and postseason because it'll be evergreen as long as the championship drought continues #LeafsForever

Generations of Indigenous fans have followed the Toronto Maple Leafs through close calls and decades of despair. Ultimately, it's the hope that connects us
