#Teachers are using their own $ to print & to buy Kleenex for their classrooms! Imagine where $38K+ could have gone at a school instead of sending it on a retreat for sunshine-list-staffers. 25+ Chromebooks, a PT teach-aid or mental health support. #onpoli #ldnont #ontEd

Bill Tucker, interim director of the #tvdsb, has released the cost for senior admin's Blue Jay getaway. $38k! That's a lot of money unnecessarily spent. The board has vowed this will never happen again. Can we believe them? #onted #edchat london.ctvnews.ca/tvdsb-releases…



Yes, strat planning is important, but a responsible leader would prioritize spending on critical student services, esp during a deficit. #TVDSB Fisher et al can pay for their own vacation with their 300k+ incomes #onpoli

Highlights a clear need for greater accountability. Given the pattern of foolish & extravagant spending, combined with the ongoing deficit and cuts affecting frontline staff and students, #TVDSB should be req'd to provide a more detailed breakdown of how public money is spent.

Let me get this straight. 18 #tvdsb senior staff had a Toronto retreat?? My school won't have photocopy paper, and kids won't have pencils due to an $8 M deficit, but execs get a retreat? Why aren't basic teaching supplies "an industry standard"? #onted lfpress.com/news/local-new…

My spouse is a physician in the emergency dept, and is actively treating #coronavirus patients. We just made the difficult decision for him to isolate & move into our garage apartment for the foreseeable future as he continues to treat patients. (1/5)

#BillS228 wasn’t called to a vote in #SenCa before the Senate rose - big missed opportunity to restrict food and bev #Marketing2kids. @HTNCanada will continue to stand strong in championing healthy eating and a better future for children in Canada! @HeartandStroke

Thanks to @SenNGreeneRaine and @HeartandStroke for championing efforts to restrict #marketing2Kids. Unfortunately senators @SenatCA didn’t give #BillS228 royal assent but we hope to see government move on this important healthy eating strategy.

Yes! Canada has an opportunity to be a leader here. Bill S-228 is at the mercy of #SenCA. Restrictions on #Marketing2Kids is a meaningful intervention to address the prevalence and systemic impact of NCDs. Time to vote!

In the face of a #climate emergency, courage is not spending public funds on oil & gas expansion. It is calling for evidence-based national incentives for solar plants, rooftop solar, wind and wave energy generators, geothermal solutions and hydroelectric power.


"We want some public accountability from the Senators and from those that are directing them" - Dr. Tom Warsharwski. It's time to vote on #BillS228, #SenCA! cbc.ca/player/play/15…

An honour to stand with these committed professionals to protect children from the relentless marketing of food and beverages to kids. It's time to pass Bill S228! #Marketing2Kids

Ultime appel au vote du projet de loi S-228, un projet de loi qui a déjà été largement étudié au @SenatCA et pourrait faire une différence positive énorme pour nos enfants, en les protégeant de la publicité. Il faut voter. @CPHA_ACSP @CPetitclerc @TonyDean_TO @DiabetesCanada

We’re so close! Let’s continue to push for legislation to stop the marketing of food and beverages to children – their health depends on it! ow.ly/FYGk30oWrzY #CDNHealth #CDNPoli #Bills228

We join our partners in thanking senators in support of #BillS228 to restrict food & beverage #Marketing2Kids. Research shows food & beverage marketing has an impact on childhood obesity rates & increased risk factors for diseases like diabetes, heart disease, stroke & cancer.
