What a gracious, selfless act by @DoyleMerrick - thank you! @BonnieCrombie @MaritStiles you need to coordinate - Put Province over Party! Set aside egos to ensure Doug Ford doesn't run up the middle and win - again! More of this!!! DO NOT SPLIT THE VOTE!
I recognize the race in Eglinton–Lawrence is a clear two-party contest between Liberals and Conservatives. To prevent a Conservative win and more years of neglect, I’m stepping aside to avoid a vote split. Please read my statement below. #ONPoli #EgLaw #TOpoli

Great call Alex!!
What benefits do coaches and parents get when they enroll a young athlete in mental skills training? - Better preparation - More openness to coaching - Improved team cohesion - Better work ethic - Tougher attitudes - Transferable skills Why wouldn't you invest in that?

I just gave my son permission to go on strike from online learning in support of his school’s workers. You should do the same. @CUPEOntario #GeneralStrike

Hey @DDSBSchools what a disappointing decision for 1000’s of students (teacher coaches) who are finding out there are NO interschool track and field meets this year! Why are the high schools allowed to organize track this year?

Kids have a right to be kept safe from abuse, discrimination, and bullying when playing sports. And the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport is designed to do just that. We’ve summarized it here for parents and coaches: bit.ly/3AsWPYE

➡️ The notion of fundamentals are something adhered to by many coaches who talk about players requiring fundamentals before they get the chance to play games or perform more “advanced skills”. Fundamentals are often coupled with explicit instruction. Why is this a problem?

Until my kids reach grade 7, their phys-Ed classes are run by their core teacher. Who has no phys-Ed background. It’s a 20 min class. WTF?

Regular physical activity is not a nice-to-have hobby for the privileged, it's a necessity of life. We're calling on the Government of Canada to prioritize tackling the physical inactivity crisis. Visit ParticipACTION.com to sign the #OpenLetter. #NotTimeToBeStill #cdnpoli

Honestly, I just can’t stand the stupidity here. I know there’s a low bar, but it’s offensive how idiotic this is. Why don’t we replace doctors with WebMD? 🙄 Ontario PC MPP Floats Idea of Replacing Teachers With Pre-Recorded Videos To Cut Education Costs pressprogress.ca/ontario-pc-…
