Also, do secondary teachers not get funding? Only elementary teachers use supplies?

Who controls the $750? And which of Doug Ford’s friends runs the website they will be forced to order from?
Also, is this additional funding or is this just a publicity stunt that results in a $750 cap per classroom on supplies?
Also, who controls this $750? And is this in addition to funds already being spent, or is this simply a way to cap spending at $750 per classroom?
Hey teacher friends: what are your thoughts on the $750 for Elementary teachers? Is Doug Ford doing a good thing or is this just more manipulation and corruption?
Just a quick bit of math for you Americans out there: the amount the D.O.W. is spending on this war with Iran would more than cover Medicaid for all uninsured Americans. ($800 Million+ per day on the war, Medicaid for all who need it would run approx. $572 Million a day).
Priorities, right?
To my American friends: they don’t care about your kids getting shot in schools. What makes you think they’ll care about adults getting shot by ICE?
You can’t expect reasonable from unreasonable people.

Christians: stop rage baiting others into thinking there’s a war on Christmas. No one cares if you say Merry Christmas!
“Happy Holidays” INCLUDES Christmas. You’re offended for nothing.
“Keep the Christ in Christmas?”
Jesus wasn’t born on December 25. Christ didn’t even keep Christ in Christmas.
The Ford Government will try to blame teachers for the low EQAO scores that aren’t even valid to begin with.
But this is the playbook: spend almost a decade destroying public education and then say “see, it’s broken!”
Don’t fall for it.
The Minister of Education seems surprised that years and years of education cuts from his government have led to poor results.
This is a joke, right? Are we being punked? Where’s Ashton Kutcher?
Alberta doing this during Transgender Awareness Week is not by accident.
Let’s call it what it is: transphobic, homophobic, hateful and dangerous.
Kids have nothing to do with it, and yet they will suffer the most.
Monsters, all of them. This is about power and manipulation, plain and simple.
Outing a kid to their abusive, intolerant parents endangers that kid.
Taking away the choice of parents to decide with medical professionals what’s best for their kid endangers that kid.
Removing gender/sexuality education endangers kids.
Stop pretending Alberta cares about the safety of kids.
It angers me when people get angry about Starbucks or Apple charging ridiculous prices for things.
THEY CHARGE IT BECAUSE YOU KEEP PAYING IT!
I agree we need to drive prices down with legislation for food, gas, housing, etc. Those are essential.
The teddy bear cup from Starbucks is not.
Who is the biggest enemy of Canada?
1. Donald Trump
2. Pierre Poillievre
3. Gary Bettman
If you’re ever wondering why we don’t have enough money for EAs or special needs programs, just remember that the Ford government gave $10 Million to a charity run by a strip club owner.
Not making this up I swear.
So, I was sitting on this weird bit of trivia for fear of jinxing, but that was the very rare instance in which a Toronto team made it to the finals and didn’t win.
What a season.
This was about so much more than baseball. The tears from Vladdy were Canada’s tears.
The Jays accomplished what no other MLB team could: they united a country.
Proud to be Canadian tonight.
Me a year ago: I’m not really into baseball.
Me this morning: sorry I’m late boss. Was up late last night celebrating!
Bill 33, along with much of what Ford and his government does, ignores the root of the problem with our education system. Those making decisions continually fail to consult the best experts when making decisions: educators.
Educators & Education Workers are the only ones who see the changes needed.
There’s a lot going on in the U.S. and it’s so crazy that it’s hard to look away. But Doug Ford is doing a lot of bad things right under our noses, and we can’t get distracted. He’s dangerous, and he’s not done cutting education. Pay attention and stay vigilant.
What I’ve learned watching New York City cop shows is that people in NYC being questioned are really good at remembering addresses off the top of their head and never have to look them up.
I barely remember my own address most days.

Just leaving this here so I can use it later. Carry on with your day.

First, let me say that the death of Charlie Kirk is tragic. No matter how perverse his beliefs were, no one deserves to die like that.
In a completely unrelated matter, now is a really good time to clean up your Facebook friends.

Congratulations to Pierre Polievre…after losing his own seat, kick out his own MP to run again, stay in government subsidized housing even though he wasn’t elected, cost the taxpayers millions to do a completely unnecessary by-election.
But yeah, well fought I guess?

I don’t understand, has he developed a phobia of shooting? It seems like every time he gets close to the net he passes.
The funny thing about leafs fans (of which I count myself part of) is that if there’s bad reffing, they’ll get angry and yell and scream about it, but if it’s legitimately the team that screwed up, we will go after the players HARD. They dropped every ball last night.
