NDP Leader @AndreaHorwath: On Friday, the Ford govt announced Grants For Student Needs cuts, and school boards are confirming what we already knew: Larger class sizes, fewer teachers and fewer courses available for students. #onpoli #onpoli
Horwath: The TDSB says they’re facing a multi-million dollar shortfall. In Peel course options lost. Toronto Catholic Board Chair says they’re losing $655,000 in grants and eliminating 95 jobs for at-risk youth.
These are very real cuts affecting Ontario students. #onpoli

Horwath: Ford's Education Minister keeps denying it, but no one believes her anymore: The Ford Government is making cuts to classrooms and our students are paying the price. #onpoli #onted #studentssayno
Powerlessness makes people feel detached, abandoned & desperate. Abusive behavior by those w wealth & power deepens the crisis. In such conditions, a con-man who makes menacing threats against the other convinces the powerless to degrade their own humanity & give up their rights.
This should not be the story of American politics in the 21st century, or of European democracies, or of any other place. We are watching these forces work with horrifying efficiency, but we must remember: these are not the only forces at work & they are *not* the most powerful.
Whether to confront the #OttawaFloods or to rally in support of the cultural heritage & human achievement of #NotreDame, or the global collaboration among young people to demand a #ClimateSmart future, constructive engagement empowers people & makes more good possible.
