Many folks quietly work in the background to ensure that things run smoothly. In a school, support staff such as secretaries, custodians, maintenance staff, and IT staff are doing tasks that allow everyone else to do our jobs. Thankful for their labour today and every day.

Again and again, evidence shows that vouchers do nothing to improve student performance. All they do is siphon crucial funding from public schools—serving 90 percent of students—and redirect it to private schools with no accountability.

I don’t want to hear any official say DEI [disparaging] without the immediate follow up question; What do you mean by that? Force them to say the words, not hide behind an acronym Then ask; Which one in particularly are you upset about? Equity?? Make. Them. Say. It.

My school just lost 30 hours of EA support because of funding shortfalls. Cuts to education funding directly impact our most vulnerable students with complex needs. Unprecedented funding gaps.

This election is not about Trump. It is about standing up for Canada and defying the rage-baiters, conspiracy trolls and those who trash our nation to score points. This election is about you Pierre Poilievre. We reject your hate politics. Canadians do your best. Don't accept the worst.
