BREAKING: The Ford government is set to take over four school boards in Ontario. The minister of education will send supervisors into Toronto, Toronto Catholic, Ottawa-Carleton and the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board. globalnews.ca/news/11263417/… #onpoli #onted

Our children deserve the best education. Bravo to Education Minister Paul Calandra for taking action & putting the @TDSB under supervision. Schools are for education, not indoctrination. thestar.com/politics/provi…

It has become abundantly clear that the TDSB is dysfunctional. Clayton La Touche has been consistently unaccountable and unresponsive to the community. I welcome Minister Paul Calandra’s appointment of a provincial supervisor to bring the board back on track.

Today marks the final episode of TVO Today | The Agenda with Steve Paikin — a defining voice in Ontario journalism. Thank you, Steve, for 19 years of thoughtful conversations. Wishing you all the best in this next chapter.

It's been the honour of my career to work on this show, with this guy. Steve Paikin & the whole team, past & present, gave their all. Hope we made a contribution to Ontario -- as Steve says, we sure tried, and loved every minute of it. Thank you. #onpoli youtu.be/BlkqPTlnuwo?si…

.Steve Paikin has been one of the greatest mentors and supporters of me. When I was asked to testify before the Senate and HOC — it was Steve who gave me advice on how to prepare. Steve valued the perspectives of young people and was always ready to help mentor the #NextGen.

Courage and Conviction: Refreshing to see an elected School Trustee calling out the @TDSB for its dysfunctional leadership and bureaucratic excesses. Ty for respecting and standing up for the will of local citizens #ONTed #ONpoli

I’m done with school boards that work outside of their mandate and refuse to make the right decisions to support students and teachers in the classroom.

$81K sole source contract to the Kojo Inst. Principal Bilkszto took his own life in the aftermath of attending their DEI sessions. "Note that Purchasing was not aware of this or even received this form until after it was signed and dated by the Assoc.Dir &the Dir." Paul Calandra

I was excited by Travis Dhanraj’s show because he worked hard to book guests with diverse views that actually represented voices across the Canadian political landscape. Then it disappeared. Finally we know why.

Thank you to Fair for All for the opportunity to write on the sad demise of @TDSB. When Toronto’s public schools decided to put equity over excellence, students paid the price. And one educator - my late friend Richard Bilkszto lost everything. open.substack.com/pub/fairforall…

NEW: Ford government will appeal the ruling. “We were elected by the people of Ontario with a clear mandate to restore lanes of traffic and get drivers moving by moving bike lanes off of major roads to secondary roads.”

The Rosedale Heights School Advisory thanks @TDSB Supervisor Rohit Gupta for respecting the views of parents and students and reinstating Barrie Sketchley as Principal of RHSA for the 2025-2026 school year. Here is our statement: #savesketchley

Mamdani’s short list for NYC school chancellor confirms that he will be DeBlasio 2.0. NYC schools will be governed through the lens of racial segregation. You can bet they will tear down merit based opportunities in favor of lowering the bar for equity.

As Richmond Hill families prepare for to go back-to-school, here are the top priorities I will be focused on during the 2025-2026 school year.
