In Question Period, the NDP asked about an Education Minister tweet, that kids have had 2,246 days out of class since 1989. It’s a huge number, even over 33 years. Earlier this morning I reached out to the Ministry, asking where it comes from #onpoli #onted

Saturday kind of vibes..@hondaindy

Our local library branch closing today. Going to be a TMU med school (which is a good thing), but this city is grossly in need of library spaces.

Just made the announcement on our show, CBC Sports…but if you missed it, here it is: Jan. 1st the first ever PWHL game between Toronto Sceptres & New York Sirens will be on CBC. I’ll be hosting the panel with pregame starting at 12pmET. Can’t wait! 🏒🥅🏒🥅🏒🥅

Merry Christmas & happy holidays. Here's to a healthy, happy & peaceful 2024. Thank you to everyone working today, with a special thanks to all the dedicated people in healthcare.

My tradition: I end each year with an update to my count of how many students I've taught, and a reflections on the things I'm proud of. This year, I've focused on mentorship, and it always means a lot to have students who want to be teachers themselves. Student count: 2,401

Happy Pride! So proud to be a part of the celebration today with Angela Lloyd, Jamila M Maliha, Ed.D. (she/her) and so many others from KPRDSB! Rita Russo

A man on the elevator just thanked me for wearing orange. He said that so few people at his workplace did so. I told him that I’m a teacher so at the very least I have to set an example and teach what it represents. He was grateful! Even the small things matter! #OrangeShirtDay

The news from the CDC is awful to hear. Canada should step up as a global leader in public health. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
