  1. Betraying the children is a common thing in the education conglomerate.
    Look at how they protect the groomers.

  2. Collective bargaining is a Canadian right, Doug except for essential services. Don’t like it? Make teaching an essential service. Teachers won’t like that but the reason governments are in a tizzy is because so many women are off work and businesses are furious. Terrible premier.

    1. Terrible teachers union I SAY ! Every contract renewal they go on strike ! Ask Kathlene Wynne ! She’s a teacher too.

    2. Holding taxpayers hostage to get more and more raises, when these public union workers are already the highest paid in the nation and WELL ABOVE what the average Canadian makes. Completely unacceptable.

  3. As a taxpayer, I want the children of the future to have the education they deserve! That starts with funding. Healthy and happy teachers raise health, happy and [ultimately] successful “taxpayers” of the future.

    30 hours a week, kids spend in school! 30 hours! That time can either be wasted away OR they could have an engaging and enriching educational experience that they can take with them for a lifetime. In this day in age there are SOOO many educational resources and technologies available to enrich our education system! Why deprive them?

    But why would Ford care about that? He doesn’t care about a future that doesn’t evolve him. But hey, at least the nurses who take care of HIM will remember how he impacted THEIR future. 😏

  4. NEVER allow the government OR unions to use your children as political pawns. Choose school choice by funding the individual child and give parents REAL choice.

  5. Maybe we should bankrupt the government, this way no more handouts and start from scratch. If GM managed to get it done, why can’t a state or country? Fight fire with fire.
