Who do you want in charge of your kid’s future? | OPSEU Colleges

Is this who you want in charge of your kid’s future? Doug Ford is cutting a billion dollars from public colleges and giving it to his rich friends. Take action: savetheirfutures.ca/in

Economic investment in libraries has a 6:1 return - that’s right 600% return. Show me one other free space in Ptbo that has that ability to raise the economic base in our community and raise families out of poverty!

Come to the rally at Healthy Planet this Thursday June 19th at 6pm. The decision to cut librarians from the library has NOT been implemented. This is a 2026 budget issue. Libraries need librarians!

Council can’t have it both ways - efficiencies will always be sought but it is their duty to weigh the true costs of cuts. They failed to do so.

A person of good character can still make horrible mistakes - accepting responsibility for those mistakes and consequences of those mistakes shows integrity.

I’ve read too much science fiction too many dystopian novels and too many poems on civil rights to be quiet…

The gallery is INCENSED and yelling at Council about the recommended amendment for the lack of penalty for Mayor Leal going forward. Chair Beamer has lost control of the gallery.

Completely out of context and inappropriate for the discussion.

Haacke's trying to make Mayor Leal into the victim by citing the public backlash to Bonnerworth. "He is ashamed."

Coun. Baldwin continues to defend Mayor Leal and is mostly cherrypicking the conclusions of the IC Report. There's laughing in the gallery.

Baldwin invokes former mayor Daryl Bennett who didn't take pay while mayor. It's unclear what this has to do with the IC's report, beyond the possible 90 day pay suspension for Leal...

The only context in which it's okay to say to someone you want to carve them up like a Thanksgiving turkey is when you say it to a Thanksgiving Turkey.

Shocking behaviour from a mayor who has shown an alarming lack of judgement in what comes from his mouth since being elected. #PTBO

Okay #ptbo if this 10 minutes of city council meeting doesn’t tell you change is needed, I don’t know what will make you wake up.
