We need educated Members of Parliament. #Ford is proof.

More proof that Poilievre is a traitor to our "democratic platform", and the OATH he signed. And Poilievre not getting his security clearance further proves he does NOT believe in the rule of law.

They received house arrest for a year and this motherfucker thinks it's an overstep. The conservatives scream about immigrants doing crimes but when it one of their own they howl at the injustice in our system. Pick a fucking lane assholes

ConstanceOnt🇨🇦 @constanceont.bsky.social · 13h

It's sickening to listen to the oppostition stand up and push such 🐴💩 in the HOC! How embarrassing. And they all sit behind smiling while Canada is suffering, and the only MPs working hard are #PMMC and #Liberals!

Conservatives are elbowsdown, and will sell Canada for clicks, imo.

They need to be held accountable! Every MP signs and OATH to uphold our "Democratic Platform", which means they are Public Servants, not Private Servants!!

The #UCP needs to address more than staffing numbers to solve the crisis.

"You can't just say we're going to magically make 5,000 teachers appear," said Jason Foster of Athabasca University. "You also need to say, 'What are the kinds of conditions those teachers are going to come & work in?'"

Schilling also pointed out that a 2003 government commission recommended guidelines for average class sizes. The #ATA says Alberta would need to hire over 5,000 new #teachers just to meet those 20-year-old recommendations.

The #UCP government stopped counting class sizes in 2019.

Ford, as well. Conservative Premiers are underfunding everything but seem to have no one to be accountable to. That needs to change. Ontario is still waiting on #RCMP Green Belt Scandal reports, and now looking at new corruption.
