On the last day of school, instead of thanking teachers and staff for a successful year, Paul Calandra announced he’s taking control of four school boards. Just thought I’d mention it in case you were ever in doubt about how Conservatives view public education and the important work educators do.

So, the Ford government, that’s mismanaged finances with blue license plates, billion $ booze obsessions, Ontario Place parking lot and science centre fiascos, court losses and massive deficit and debt loads, is taking over elected school boards to restore “financial stability”?

PM Mark Carney was hockey team goalie at both Harvard, where he graduated magna cum laude in economics & Oxford where he received a masters in economics. His resume since is basically everything you would want in a biz leader.

Today I was reminded that not every post needs to be political. Timber agrees. But right after I snapped this pic she told me she hopes a swarm of locusts descends on Doug Ford’s cottage a few times during his four month summer holiday. What can I say. I’m raising an activist. Happy #Caturday.

"If this project stalls, it won’t be because of public opposition. It will be because the elected municipal representative for Toronto-Danforth is more concerned with placating a few well-connected complainers than prioritizing the safety of vulnerable road users." - @lanrickbennett.bsky.social

Doug Ford claims they’re moving the Science Centre to Ontario Place because people actually go there. I thought they gave away the land at Ontario Place to Therme because no one was using it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ He has zero respect for Ontarians and is a dangerously stupid, deeply corrupt sham of a man. #StopBill5

Documents obtained via an FOI show the closure of the Ontario Science Centre wasn’t about safety—it was about spin. Engineers didn't recommend shutting it down. They called for repairs. The Ford government appears to have pressured them to say otherwise. www.canadianarchitect.com/draft-engine...
