Healthcare workers have been told not to wear their scrubs to avoid harassment on their way to work. They've gone from being celebrated to being asked to hide their identities. Any politician supporting these occupations is encouraging these threats. And, that's wrong.

Thinking that teachers only work during class time is like thinking that a movie director only works for 2 hours.

We have to hunt for vaccines. We have to hunt for tests. We have to hunt for information about our kids’ school schedule. Either Ford government is insanely incompetent or they enjoy making us suffer.

So now teachers are expected to teach hybrid and do all extra curriculars. It's too much. @fordnation @Sflecce Teachers matter. They don't deserve this. They shouldn't be also intimidated to do these extra curriculars #onted.

I seriously don't care how you feel about teachers... Creating a back to school plan without talking to them is absolutely asinine...

Today, @Sflecce is holding a restricted capacity press conference to announce unrestricted school assemblies of 500+ Let that sink in for a moment. #onpoli

Wait...so, @fordnation spent “all weekend with the docs” figuring out if some HCW could attend the Leaf’s game in person, but he can’t give us a decision about schools for a few days? The Leaf’s game was prioritized over the 2 million school children of Ontario. That’s so Ford.

Looks like one dose is not hugely effective against B1617 and that it is quickly becoming the dominant strain in Ontario. So given that many have just one dose now it’s a great time to reopen schools for three weeks. What could possibly go wrong?#Ontarioschools

The #COVID19 pandemic continues to impact lives and livelihoods around the world. Now, over a year since the start of the pandemic, where do world leaders stand on efforts to create a global response to end the pandemic? Here’s what you need to know.

Will the increased policing include stopping Doug Ford to inquire about his reasons for doing absolutely nothing useful to stop this crisis?

I’m sorry, but what has the ministry/government done to improve remote learning? Because I’m pretty sure that they didn’t invent Google Classroom, Meet, Teams, Zoom, or even D2L. The government didn’t “pivot” to remote learning. Educators did. #OntEd #onpoli

Let’s be completely clear: any “great success” in our schools/childcare centres is COMPLETELY due to the extraordinary work of our ed workers & ECEs. Any child who learned anything, any child who didn’t contract COVID, anything. Enough. #FireLecce. You have done NOTHING.

If you feel tempted to post a photo of young people gathering outside as an example of stupidity, post a photo of an overcrowded classroom instead. The stupidity of our Ontario government and what they've allowed inside classrooms is far more dangerous than outdoor gatherings.

Please read this thread. In secondary schools in Peel and Toronto their classes are capped at 15. In Simcoe our classes could have 34! Why is a student in Bradford not awarded the same protection as a student in Brampton? @C_Mulroney, we are watching! #UnsafeSchools #OntEd
The @SMDhealthunit data has been released and situations is getting out of control. Weekly case rates per 100K pop in several south Simcoe municipalities are going⬆️⬆️⬆️ Barrie 132 Innisfil 159 Adjala-New Tec 188 Bradford 328 🤯🤬 Even Collingwood is now over 100 cases/100k

Ed Min @Sflecce accused of scrubbing social media of critical comments “It’s definitely censorship. He’s silencing the voices of the people he is supposed to serve & represent in government. It’s not OK” said Gr. 11 student @cmsmolenaars #onted #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/7642309/s…

Of all the unscientific things @Sflecce and @fordnation have done this pandemic, THIS would take the cake. In January, they SHUT DOWN schools to reduce transmission. Now, they want to KEEP THEM OPEN to reduce transmission. Follow science. Be consistent. You owe it to Ontario.
