Ooh crikey wot a scorcher this weekend! 🐶
Parked cars can quickly reach deadly temperatures, even on relatively mild days with the car parked in the shade and the windows open. If you can’t take your animal with you when you leave your car, leave them at home where they are safe. 🐾

🚨BREAKING: Doug Ford’s Trump-style power grab is racing through Queen’s Park.
This week, the Ford government is fast-tracking 7 bills—cutting debate short, skipping committee scrutiny, and trying to ram through Bill 5, which would grant massive new “special economic zone” powers.

This is why your child is not getting Educational Assistant support.
This is why there is no Special Education Teacher to help your child catch up on basic math or literacy skills.
This is why the ventilation in your child’s classroom is not working.

Educators are not therapists and schools are not treatment centres.
You can’t show teachers a video on student mental health and expect them to take the place of highly qualified mental health professionals.
We need properly funded mental health supports for students.

Just finished voting in the Liberal Leadership race. Boy oh boy is it hilarious/obscene to me that they have instituted ranked ballot internally but wouldn't honour their committment from 2015 to enact election reform.

"When asked what Canada and Mexico must do to lift their tariffs, Trump told reporters on Sunday they "have to balance out their trade, number one"."

US says Mexico serious, Canada may have 'misunderstood'
European leaders say a threat to expand tariffs from Canada and Mexico to the European Union risks igniting a trade war and harming consumers on two continents.

'Incivility' sounds old-fashioned, but in classrooms, it disrupts learning and impacts student development. It's a situation educators and experts focused on Canadian youth believe needs addressing.

Trump being a disaster of a human is well worn territory. That said, he won the college & pop. vote, partially, on a campaign of inflicting trade chaos on trading partners...us. A good-sized portion of the US population voted for that. We need to start believing them when they show us who they are.
