@osstf.bsky.social's annual meeting is almost here. Given the challenges of a third Doug Ford majority, and in a time of economic uncertainty, our union stands at a crossroads. I am committed to providing the strong, transformative leadership needed to navigate these challenges. #OSSTF

@labourcouncil.bsky.social, OSSTF Toronto, Elementary Teachers of Toronto, CUPE 4400 and @ontautism.bsky.social held a press conference today, attended by CBC, CP24 and other media. We covered inadequate funding, the lack of wrap-around supports for students and more staffing. #OSSTF #onpoli #onted

I think that Trump ought to give this suggestion some thought. #cdnpoli #donaldtrump #fournationsfaceoff

Coming to a province near you? Think Doug Ford would try such a thing, blaming Trump tariffs? Vote wisely, unless you think working people should bear the brunt of economic change alone, and that wage suppression by law is a good idea. #OSSTF #onpoli #onlab #OntarioElection2025

When it comes to fighting for tenants and against housing precarity, there's no stronger candiate for MPP than @faisalhassan.bsky.social. I was proud to canvas for him today in York South-Weston with @osstf.bsky.social, @oflabour.bsky.social, #oecta and #CUPE4400. #unionproud #OntarioElection2025

#Solidarity with @cupelocal79.bsky.social. They're fighting to ensure that the City is not a minimum wage employer in one of the world's most expensive places to live. These workers provide the services we need to live with dignity every day. #unionproud #UnionStrong #TOpoli #onlab

The freakout about Canada’s ‘internal trade barriers’ is a corporate scam ⋆ The Breach
Business lobbyists and right-wing think tanks are exploiting Trump’s threats to push their deregulation agenda

Happy to be part of this book, where various authors describe the damage Doug Ford has done to Ontario. I wrote the chapter on public ed, but there are others on healthcare, the environment, and tenants rights, to name a few. Available online and in bookstores. DM me for a discount code. #onpoli

Yesterday @osstf.bsky.social and Toronto Public Library workers knocked on doors for Jill Andrew in Toronto-St. Paul's, as she fights for public education, public health care, and tenants' rights. #osstf #onpoli #ondp

It appears that 61% of Ontarians have decided not to listen to Doug Ford's hat, whatever the hat decides to proclaim on any given day. #onpoli #osstf #onted pressprogress.ca/new-poll-fin...

I'm excited to run for the position of OSSTF/FEESO Executive Officer. I will deepen our solidarity, internally and with our allies, so that we can be stronger together, and fight for public education. #osstf. Here's my website: chrischandler.ca

Public schools and public healthcare are partners in the same fight for a strong economy and a just society. OSSTF Toronto stands with the Ontario Nurses' Association in its demand for fair treatment, and for adequate staffing in our hospitals. With @harveybischof.bsky.social #osstf #onpoli

This is an outrage. Aside from the misogyny, more than a dozen cadets at the Coast Guard academy have filed sexual harassment complaints. This feels like more than the discriminatory firing of a woman. It looks like a Presidential pass on sexual assault in federal workplaces.

It's on us, the men, to make today about more than remembrance. The action is for us to take, the change is for us to make. Teach your boys well. In our families, and in our classrooms, and in our community spaces. #saytheirnames

I stand with postal workers. Their strike is about whether CUPW members deserve a decent living, in a stable job, with good benefits. Well, they do. Like all workers do. Let's support them so that the income inequality plaguing our society can end, one group of workers at a time. #osstf #solidarity

Music education matters. What a treat to hear the Royal Conservatory Orchestra perform at Koerner Hall. Kudos to the 219 OSSTF District 34 instructors whose work at the Glenn Gould School builds a richer more beautiful world. Thanks to D34 President Stanley Rosenzweig. #osstf #musiceducation
