Isn't protecting our children a good reason to wear masks😷again? When #COVID19 first hit, we wore masks to protect our grandparents. Kids deserve the same consideration, by @AllisonHanes montrealgazette.com/opinion/… via @mtlgazette

It's really hard to square a government using the notwithstanding clause to squash the constitutional rights of janitors, secretaries, and daycare workers and yet still claim to be for the little guy

BREAKING: CUPE says it’s 55,000 members will go on strike regardless of the government’s legislation in an open act of defiance. #onpoli #onted

1) Okay, so the Ontario Gov't just announced parents would get $250 per kid to "enhance learning". Let's look at one example of what that money could do if it was directed to schools instead of used as a political bribe to parents.

MORE: Cardy's two-page resignation letter to Higgs is absolutely stunning, one of the most remarkable things I've read in New Brunswick politics. "Wrecking ball." "Consolidation of power in your own hands." "Data my ass."

Pull up a chair. Let's talk about the heart-stopping share of Canadians supposedly '$200 away from insolvency'. Apparently, I have to keep giving this talk because there's a quarterly clickbait survey that sometimes gets eyeballs. FML #cdnecon #cdnpoli

Okay, Ontario. We need to talk about voter turnout. And we need to talk about the role of campaign strategy, constant polling, and horse race/infotainment journalism. Fewer than half of eligible voters showed up. And that is neither normal nor good enough. Spicy 🧵 alert. /1

Why have we heard more about an extra year of highschool than the biggest investment in early years - ever? I chat with @spaikin, @CarolynFerns, and Althina Basiliadis about the forgotten issue of childcare this election season tonight on the Agenda:
Steve Paikin@spaikin31 May 2022
With the fed-prov #childcare agreements signed, you could be forgiven for thinking childcare isn't an issue anymore. These 3 say it sure is: Althina Basiliadis (Glebe Parents Daycare), @prof_adavidson (@McMasterU), & @CarolynFerns (@ChildCareON). 8/11pm @tvo tonight. #onpoli

my unsolicited advice to people starting grad school in the fall: do not use this summer to “catch up” or “prepare”. you don’t need it. what you do need is a break
