Doug Ford knew about Rod Phillips’ trip to St. Barts two weeks ago. Not only did Ford not fire him then, he helped him keep the trip a secret. Phillips’ resignation from cabinet today is not because of Phillips’ vacation, it’s because they both got caught.
Ontario minister Rod Phillips resigns, Premier Doug Ford says. Comes after Phillips took controversial vacation to Caribbean. Ford says he has asked current Treasury Board President Peter Bethlenfalvy to assume the role of finance minister. Previous story: cbc.ca/1.5858285

As we embark on this co-learning journey to #LearnDisruptRebuild @HWDSB, I must say that this has been one of the most validating, empowering, exhausting, sometimes terrifying, yet powerful experience. It has been a true honour to do this #antiracist/#antioppressive work 1/4

Kids in elementary are only with one teacher all day as compared to secondary? Good lord, many elementary kids see more teachers each day than secondary students. Don’t these folks know how schools actually work?

Thanks @jdeq for highlighting this yet again! That $736 million has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with implementing a safe return to schools in September! #SafeSeptember @ETFOeducators @CTFFCE @OFLabour
The Minister needs to stop mentioning the additional $736 million in funding as a part of their COVID support. These funds were negotiated during the last round of bargaining . . . pre-COVID19. It is disingenuous.
