Proud that the NS Teachers Union is a member of the CTF/FCE who is an intervenor in this case. Our schools should be inclusive spaces where all students are safe to be their authentic selves.

🇨🇦 Josh Liendo is the first Black Canadian to win an Olympic swimming medal. He told me growing up he had nobody to really look up to — because nobody looked like him. Game changer. History maker. Silver medal at the Olympics.

Wonderful! Representation matters. He is now the role model for others. Congratulations to Josh!!

Last week I attended Education International 10th world congress with the CTF/FCE delegation. It was an incredible opportunity to hear about challenges in public schools around the world. Many similarities to the experiences in #SaskEd - underfunding/privatization & fights for workers’ rights.

I hold in high regard the opportunity to join this distinguished group of leaders from across the world. Leading together in the global education trade union movement will be an honour and a privilege. #GoPublic #FundEducation

The DNC is so diverse it has Republicans.

The C-Span/Lil Jon crossover I’ve been waiting for!

There’s a 30% chance that my daughters will experience sexual assault in their lifetime and a 44% chance they will experience intimate partner violence and you think my “nightmare scenario” is them having fucking tattoos and short hair?

By Todd Heisler/New York Times:

Teaching should always be guided by kindness, but it’s worth reflecting on what it means to be kind. It’s not simply making kids happy, but doing what’s best for them in the long run. That can be difficult and unpopular, but it’s the right thing to do. #edutwitter #edchat

Teachers and all school staff are key to school safety. Let’s support them with the training and resources they need to keep kids safe. Welcome back. #TeacherSupport #SafetyInSchools #NovaScotia #workers #solidarity #education NS Teachers Union CUPE National NSGEU CUPE Nova Scotia

It's been great to see all the happy faces as school resumes across the province. We are excited to get started and hope everyone has a wonderful year!

This week, our party introduced a bill to reinstate elected school boards. We need clarity on how this government is dealing with school violence, school capital and other issues. Reinstating school boards means reinstating accountability and transparency for everyone.

If you want to be Prime Minister, you should be a champion for all things Canada. It’s been an awesome Paralympics for Team Canada - 29 Medals, so many amazing stories… but Pierre Poilievre hasn’t said a thing. Nothing congratulatory, encouraging or celebratory. What gives?🧵

Let’s make sure every kid can have healthy meals in school.
