Ontarioโs large and complex system cannot be run out of an office in Toronto. But Ford is signalling his intent to do just that.
Stand up for local democratic institutions, like school boards. Our children need them to be responsive to local needs.

On Remembrance Day, please remember why they fought in the first place. Those who fought that war and are still alive are watching what their sacrifices brought and one said it wasn't worth it. And it's not just Britain. Look at the US. Look at what could happen just as easily here.

Canada played a major role in the liberation of the Netherlands, including the Battle of the Scheldt and house-to-house fighting.
โI think the Scheldt estuary battle was probably the most important Canadian victory of the war," Prof. David Bercuson said.

Ford & co are forcing through #Bill33 without public hearing. A bill that is devistating for public education in Ontario. Call Ford and your MPP now and tell them itโs undemocratic and you do not support this. 416-325-1941

This government is paying unelected school supervisors up to $350,000 a year to replace democratically elected trustees and they wonโt even respond to parents or communities. Ontarians deserve transparency, not government appointees hiding from accountability.
