❕Fun Fact❕ Did you know that all our ice cream products containing nuts are made in the Chapman’s “Nut House” production facility. 😃 And the wonderful people who work there do actually work at the Nut House. 🤣 🥜 That’s nuts! 🥜 #ontario #canada #madeincanada #nutfree #foodallergies

And also trusting that legacy media will simply go along with it, and if the federal government pushes back on whose responsibility it really is, they will describe it as "finger-pointing" or "bickering" without actually saying the provinces are responsible.

And, boo! 👻@g026r.leftblank.org

Canadian federalism is the provinces blaming Ottawa for things the provinces are responsible for and trusting that the voters won't know that

“Guys, they want us to go home.” 🔥 🇫🇷 French short film about what would happen to society if all the immigrants listened to angry old racist white men and left (aka the Republican agenda)

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

#DougFord fails #Ontario yet again “This is a minister of education who cannot even deliver paper and pencils to classrooms without something messing up,” said Stiles. “This big American corporation was given this (single vendor) contract, and guess what? They’re exploiting the hell out of it.”

“Ontario taxpayers should be asking: Why should money intended for public classrooms be funneled through a U.S.-based, private-equity-owned corporation, rather than strengthening the public education system itself?” #OntEd

The Grind@thegrindto.bsky.social

The Ontario government is forcing public school teachers to buy classroom supplies through Staples, a major U.S. corporation. This won't fix what ails schools, not by a long shot, argues Nigel Bariffe of the Elementary Teachers of Toronto.

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

Jenny Lee Shee@jennyleeshee.bsky.social

The Ontario govt took $60M out of public education and handed it to Staples. Tomorrow, 80K elementary teachers each get $750 of the misappropriated money to buy overpriced classroom supplies at an 🇺🇸 corporation. Please remember this the next time Captain Canada tells you to #BuyCanadian. #OntEd

Unfortunately, with new glue products flooding into the market from the United States, LePage's Canada operations eventually discontinued their famous mucilage glue with the soft tip that was a staple of Canadian classrooms for decades. 🧵 7/8

Once again, I implore the pundit class to stop pretending that the federal government can do everything. You *need* to pressure provinces and city councils, because they cannot be bypassed.

GenAI is a tech bubble of hype and absurdity. It runs on nothing but vibes and dollar signs in billionaire's eyes. But that's why we must resist it. We broke NFTs, we broke the Metaverse, we can break this nonsense too.

Which will do absolutely nothing so long as provincial governments continue to underfund their healthcare systems.

Mark Carney@mark-carney.bsky.social

To build a better health care system, we need to build better hospitals and clinics. We’re expanding and modernising our healthcare infrastructure across the country — so you can get the care you need, when you need it.

We visited Queen’s Park today where the Legislative Chamber will sit empty until October 27. What? You don’t get a 6-figure salary and five months paid vacation for the summer? Shoulda been a politician in Doug Ford’s Ontario, folks!
