Well done Trillium 👏 and thank you for sharing this @smaclellan

A staff member in PC MPP #StephenLecce's constituency office has been suspended from her job after the York Regional Police announced it charged her for allegedly defrauding a local Royal Canadian Legion branch where she'd previously been president.
"...between 2017 and 2019, Giuseppina Fedele wrote herself 34 cheques and transferred seven electronic money transfers to her account totalling over $33,518" alleged York's police

I am waiting for the smart school kids to decide that everyone will want to change their pronouns and the school will be spending all their days informing parents and guardians that Johnny wants to use she/her or Mary wants to use him/they.
Is there a reporting mechanism?

Protecting children is a shared responsibility. I am not sure #DougFord or #StephenLecce understand it.

We have been hearing for months about an escalation of bullying, and in some cases violence, faced by Muslim kids.

We have been in close dialogue with the Ontario government about our concerns.

We welcome the announcement by Minister Lecce of increased funding to challenge hate, bullying and violence in our schools.

CP24: #StephenLecce to introduce #education legislation Monday

Meanwhile #SchoolBoards across #Ontario are announcing that due to #BudgetCuts, the #Province has forced on them, they will be forced to let teachers go. Don't believe the lies, it's another #ConJob by the #conservatives and the #FordGov #TheyreNotThereForYou #StudentsFirst

We are deeply disgusted and outraged after hearing reports of a Qur’an being torn up at Courtice Secondary School.

We have been in contact with the school board & concerned parents and will share updates as they become available.

We also appreciate Stephen Lecce's commitment to continue to challenge Islamophobia in our schools.

Everyone deserves to feel safe.

Thank you Stephen Lecce for your leadership and in helping bring the PDSB's anti-Islamophobia strategy into reality.

Hate poses a danger to us all.

We look forward to working with all parties involved toward implementation.

@thrilway Elon probably did a deal with #fordnation and #stephenlecce to keep their blue checkmarks for free, in case for automated cars in downtown.

Ontario's schools have been underfunded for decades. Mike Harris left a school repair backlog of around $5.6B.

After the Liberals left in 2018, it was around $15.9. Now under Doug Ford, it's over $16.8 Billion.

I recommend checking out this site. https://fixourschools.ca/15-billion-repair-backlog/

We are a rich nation, our schools should be so much better and our kids deserve it.
