I wish the Greenbelt had a union.

My latest: The Charter of Rights is being dismantled before our eyes. The constitutional bargain of 1982 is unravelling. Time for the feds to get serious.

Retweet this if you stand in solidarity with CUPE education workers.

Wow #GeneralStrikeON is trending.

The workers of this province have worked too hard to get us all through this pandemic.

We will be heard. We will be respected.

I am not an Ontarian, or a teacher, or an education assistant, but I have a perspective on the Ford government’s “Keeping Students in Schools Act”. I was Minister of Education in Alberta for 7 years, including the time the Charter was developed and enacted. #onted #onpoli

I am the Editorial Director of a new imprint at Tundra Books focused on creating opportunities for new and emerging Indigenous writers, so they can tell stories that matter. That heal, inspire and lead us on a good path. It is a good day.

Such a pleasure to hear from David A. Robertson at Toronto International Festival of Authors (TIFA) today! His “Indigenous Narnia” Misewa series is such a gift to middle grade readers!

The province needs to stop interfering with Toronto, and return to the principles underlying the City of Toronto Act - of mutual respect. The City of Toronto is the fourth or fifth largest government in Canada by budget and population, and is more than capable of self-government.

If every time men had sex, they risked death, physical disability, social shunning, a life altering interruption of their education or career, and the sudden life-long responsibility for another being, I think they’d expect a choice in the matter.

I'm sorry but if you actually appreciate the sacrifices that Ontario's nurses made during COVID, you will NOT vote for a party that has shown time & time again, even while in power during COVID, that they don’t care about nurses. You just won't. #onpoli

I still can’t wrap my ahead around how a GROWN adult in university could think it’s okay to hold a slave auction event & think that’s okay. Now, that same man is running the education system in Canada’s largest province. You really can’t make this ish up, eh.

Working on it...

For no reason at all I wanted to share that in Canada abortion is legal at all stages of pregnancy, regardless of the reason, and is publicly funded as a medical procedure.

Was there nothing better to do with 44 billion dollars?

As a parent, the ‘layers of protection’ that I would like to see lifted before masking requirements:
- cohorting outside
- rows in classrooms
- daily screening forms

Perhaps we could start by removing these ‘layers’ first?

A German multi-billionaire has rented three hotels at the Polish-German border for three+ months for #Ukraine refugees, turning meeting rooms into playrooms for children & kindergarten teachers. Kitchens will provide a breakfast & dinner buffet. Will likely cost him $5 million️

Mr. Ford please DON'T say anything on #InternationalWomensDay unless it's about signing a deal for $10 #Childcare . Please retweet so that he hears
