Teacher. Tired of a society that prioritizes “me, me, me!” and not “us”. Love the NJ Devils, reluctantly love the Blue Jays, and am far less angry over here. Debate and discussion are great, just come with facts and an open mind

God help me I’ve been a Chargers fan since Doug Flutie went there in 2001. They are so demoralizing that I may need a new team. There’s no way they aren’t a tax write off for the Rams

School Budget 2025: $90,000 School Budget 2026: $51,000 Please remember this when Doug Ford and Paul Calandra try to tell you about the historic and unprecedented investments their government has made in education and how greedy teachers are always asking for more. #OntEd

"Ontarians are being told to buy local. They expect their government to do the same. Ontario teachers don't want to get ripped off buying paper from a US giant like Staples when local businesses can provide the same products. They want to support Ontario businesses, just like the rest of us."

For the Americans out there: Canadians thought after January 6th that no one would possibly vote for Trump again but then more than half of you voted for him. So no, we won’t come back to spend money there because every other one of you unleashed this garbage on Canada and the rest of the world

I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.

Staples (🇺🇸) is now open for some ON teachers. How do prices stack up against the TDSB supply centre for classroom basics? TDSB: $290.38 Staples: $668.98 Staples Teachers: $584.56 But Paul Calandra took over the TDSB claiming financial mismanagement and Doug Ford wants you to #BuyCanadian. #OntEd
A chart comparing the prices for basic classroom items such as dry erase makers, tissues, and pencils for the TDSB distribution catalogue, the regular Staples website, and the Staples for Teachers website where elementary classroom teachers can spend $750 each from the $60M Doug Ford and Paul Calandra moved out of public education classrooms and programs that support students.

Lesson learned - when good people like Dolly Parton and Tim Curry die, people are understandably sad and post a lot of great things about them. When Mitch McConnell died everyone just pretends he’s still alive so they don’t have to try and make up nice things to say

Doug Ford should just cut a cheque right to Staples instead of pretending he’s helping teachers who otherwise would find much better deals and get more bang for their bucks. Everything he pretends to do right always comes with fine print

I hate what “news” headlines have become. Doug Ford “slams” Trump over wildfire smoke as “unacceptable”. So Doug Ford said the comments were unacceptable. What exactly, is the “slam” here? It’s all so juvenile. Not only that but Ford will walk it back because he’s a coward
