‘I feel like they’re hiding something’: Increased secrecy at TDSB’s real estate arm worries some trustees During a board meeting of the Toronto Lands Corporation, the TDSB’s supervisor signalled a forthcoming change in the powerful organization’s operations

Of course the entire school board supervision thing is about the Ford government selling land to their friends! The new grift is afoot! ‘I feel like they’re hiding something’: Secrecy at TDSB’s real estate arm worries trustees www.torontotoday.ca/local/educat... #topoli #onpoli #onted

Is Ontario’s education system too old school? The Ford government plans a revamp of how boards are run While it's unclear what reforms are planned, experts warn that simply doing away with elected trustees won't solve any problems — and will likely create a whole set of new

These Parent Support Offices failed so spectacularly in Nova Scotia, that the government is returning to elected school board trustees. Where is the funding coming from for these new multimillion dollar service centres? www.thestar.com/politics/pro... #topoli #onpoli #onted

New parent ‘support offices’ ordered for Ontario school boards, raising questions about future of trustees The new offices will open this January in the Toronto public and Catholic boards and the three other boards under provincial supervision.

This is the death knell for Ontario School Board Trustees. These parent support offices (which every board will now have, not just the supervised ones) have been put in place after other jurisdictions eliminated Trustees. www.thestar.com/politics/pro... #topoli #onpoli #onted

This is just the start.

Ontario’s 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.

Veteran, 100, says winning World War II ‘wasn’t worth it’ due to state of Britain A 100-year-old veteran has heartbreakingly said winning World War II “wasn’t worth it” due to state of Britain today. Alec Penstone left Good Morning Britain viewers and hosts Adil Ray and Kate Garraw...

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.

It’s a Snowball game!

Canada played a major role in the liberation of the Netherlands, including the Battle of the Scheldt and house-to-house fighting.

“I think the Scheldt estuary battle was probably the most important Canadian victory of the war," Prof. David Bercuson said.

And yet another reason to boycott American products.

Ford government supervisors can charge $350K per year to school boards | Globalnews.ca Several school boards in Ontario, including Toronto public, Toronto Catholic and Ottawa-Carleton, have been under the management of supervisors for months.

So the Ford appointed supervisors will make more than all School Board Trustees combined, and that money will come out of the education budget that’s supposed to go to student needs. Shame! globalnews.ca/news/1151063... #topoli #onpoli #onted

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 it’s undemocratic and you do not support this. 416-325-1941
#onted #onpoli

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

What Happens to TDSB’s $20 Billion Worth of Land Under Provincial Supervision? | The Local The TDSB is one of Toronto’s largest landowners. When the province took over the board, it also took over its subsidiary that manages its properties—and it’s not saying what’s next.

Is this the reason the Minister of Education ended school board meeting livestreaming? Now they can sell TDSB school board land from right under our nose! What Happens to TDSB’s $20 Billion Worth of Land Under Provincial Supervision? thelocal.to/tdsb-takeove... #topoli #onted

And the anti-democratic avoidance of public hearings continue.

This is what creeping authoritarianism looks like.

None of this is good ‘for the people’ or for public education in Ontario.

Conservatives need to quickly dump the chump and get to work finding a new leader.
