“The legislature sat for just 51 days in 2025.”

Please remember this the next time teachers’ contracts expire and Doug Ford, Paul Calandra, and the rest of the PCs try to tell the public that we are lazy and entitled.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
