It's Friday and I am so excited to share with you the new trailer for No Ordinary Campaign, @noc_film, which includes a cameo from @BarackObama. This is a story about ALS but it is also a love story, as well as a story about doing the impossible. I hope you like it.

I am not an Ontarian, or a teacher, or an education assistant, but I have a perspective on the Ford government’s “Keeping Students in Schools Act”. I was Minister of Education in Alberta for 7 years, including the time the Charter was developed and enacted. #onted #onpoli
