Welcome to Ontario where Stephen Lecce thinks it’s great success to have educators spend their time breaking up packs of 5 RATs to only give each student & staff member 2 RATs (& not everything in pack can be split up). Good grief, give everyone a full pack of RATs Doug Ford #OnPoli

My partner's appointment tomorrow at Mount Sinai in Toronto was just rescheduled because of the expected protest. Is this happening in TO Gen, Sick Kids?

🧵🪡 Dear Stephen Lecce: I wish you could understand how unsettling, nerve-wracking, *insert uneasy synonym here* it is to approach a new school year as a parent of a special needs child. But you won’t. You may have read a handful of briefings or listened to colleagues tell you

Over 100 “Link Leaders” (senior student volunteers) at my school ran an awesome 1st day for our grade 9s. They even spent 2 of their last days of summer in a hot gym preparing. No one outside of my school community will thank them, but Steven Lecce is being congratulated. #OntEd

I'm going to write a letter to the Government of Canada in my language today to ask them to fully implement the Spirit Bear Plan and to respond fully to the the TRC's 94 Calls to Action! You can also write letters to them and here are examples you can use!
