The Varsity Op-Ed:

"Education should not be reserved for those who can afford it, nor should its value be dictated solely by market demand. A truly accessible education system recognizes that knowledge in all its forms has value, and that it is something no government should ever dismiss."

You want to understand the timing of Ford's $750 classroom spending account for teachers announcement today? THIS is it. It's absolutely, 100% not a coincidence. Ford and his handlers wanted to own the education news cycle. So cynical. It's gross. #OntEd #OnPoli Cc. @[email protected]

Again, instead of dealing with his systematic underfunding of education in Ontario, this is about Ford looking like the hero who is fixing a problem with education. He's going to get so much earned media for this announcement. Just like this. This is a PR sleight of hand. #OntEd #OnPoli

This is terrible. The Ford government is splashing out cash to fund tunnels under the 401 and build shiny new convention centres on Toronto's waterfront and is harming the most vulnerable students to help fund it. #OntEd #OnPoli

So it turns out that Heather Watt, the Ford crony supervisor appointed to run the Peel District School Board is the daughter of Jaime Watt, founder of Navigator. Who better to help Education Minister Calandra navigate the useful crisis of his own creation? #topoli #Onpoli #onted

Reminder: What goes in on our schools every day they're in session is so sickening that the former Minister for Embridge quit rather than take responsibility for it: https://www.ola.org/en/members/all/todd-smith
I'm pointing the finger at the Premier and the last 2 as well. I think the Premier's office is certainly interfering with the Ministry of Education to ensure they remain steadfast in their agenda of child abuse.
