Fellow Ontario tax payers - please like and retweet if you would rather $3.2 Billion be invested in public services, like education, healthcare, ODSP, support for autism families, than be dolled out in one-time $200 pre-election bribes by Doug Ford. #onpoli #onted #cdpoli

Reminder: if you are sick and must go out, consider wearing a mask to help prevent the spread. Just what I do.

The only thing "controversial" about speed cameras in school zones is speeders really didn't like them. #onpoli #onted

Reminder: jerks don't care about big traffic signs. They just continue to ignore them.

Can we just turn the cameras that were catching speeders in our school zones back on please? Maybe add some speed bumps?

everyone: we just want streets to be safe to walk near, especially around schools

ontario: best we can do is street signs so big they fully obscure schoolchildren
photo of a person holding a gigantic street sign next to a regular speed limit sign. the regular speed limit sign says “maximum 40 begins”. the gigantic street sign has an even larger speed limit on it, a note that says “school zone ahead” and a yellow caution sign showing 2 people crossing the street. the person holding the large sign is completely obscured by it

My son's grade 7 class now has 32 students. My daughter, 31.

This is where we are at after 7 years for Ford cuts.

The numbers don't lie.

Shame @dougford!

It boggles the mind that an artist this talented could be dropped by her label. Absolutely stunning.

Btw - check out @faouzia's debut LP "Film Noir" one of my favourite albums of 2025.

Probably my pick for best new artist of 2025. This album is so good! Think, Adele, Sade, Amy Winehouse. 🔥

We used to be able to escalate to our elected trustees who had a clear mandate to advocate for our students but sure, set up a call centre instead … #onted #onpoli
FUND OUR SCHOOLS NOT CALL CENTRES CALL DOUG & 416-325-1941 premier@ontario.ca Your government keeps saying you want to give parents a voice. We are demanding to be heard. We need is a fully funded education system and the voice of all to be heard and supported. In Toronto alone, we have 22 democratically elected trustees that have knowledge of their communities and community needs. It is an invaluable resource for parents and students. Listen to parents. Maintain our trustees who are elected by us to support us and our children. FUND OUR SCHOOLS

Parents defied the Ford government’s livestream ban at a school board committee meeting last night. They recorded & broadcast the TDSB’s special education meeting despite the education minister ordering them to stop. #cdnpoli

Kids need more one-on-one time, and smaller class sizes are the way to do it.

Add your voice today. Together we can push for #SmallerClasses and make a big difference for public education. app.sosha.ai/s/NZXGBsyI #onted
Smaller class sizes = more time for each child

Rohit Gupta, the TDSB supervisor, will earn $350,000 a year +$20,000 in expenses to get the board “back on track” despite an auditor finding no evidence of financial mismanagement.

A former Metrolinx advisor getting things back on track is just perfect.
