Official Opposition leader @AndreaHorwath: For months Ford picked a fight with teachers and ignored the concerns of parents & students opposed to his classroom cuts. Now that we’re on the verge of school closures is Ford ready to show some leadership & reverse his reckless cuts?
@AndreaHorwath Horwath: What parents see:
• a Premier who spent months calling teachers “thugs”
• a Minister of Education who literally delayed bargaining so he could hold a press conference about the lack of bargaining.
• a govt still defending classroom cuts. #onted #onpoli
@AndreaHorwath Horwath: For months Ford insisted he was on the side of parents and he claimed they supported the cuts that now threaten to close schools all over Ontario. Why would he say that when he knew his own consultation showed the opposite? #onpoli #onted
@AndreaHorwath Horwath: Instead of working to reach a deal that will improve education, Ford’s been making cuts, picking fights, & pretending that parents don’t care about cuts.
When will he stop defending his cuts and start working with teachers to reach a deal that works for students?
@AndreaHorwath Horwath: At a time when families desperately need a Premier who will work on the national stage to build a #Pharmacare program, why is Ford trying to undermine any effort to do so? #onpoli #onhealth
@AndreaHorwath Horwath: Ontarians have already seen their health care system slashed by this govt & now Ford is attacking a national #Pharmacare plan that can deliver real relief. Why is Ford trying to torpedo prescription drug coverage, right when Ontarians need it the most? #onpoli #onhealth
@AndreaHorwath NDP Education critic @maritstiles: Will the Education Minister finally do the right thing, take these unreasonable cuts off the table, and stop these attacks on our kids' future? #onted #onpoli
@AndreaHorwath @maritstiles NDP MPP @shaw_sandy: Since news of Cootes Paradise contamination I have:
• asked questions here about when this govt learned of the spill
• wrote a letter requesting full disclosure
• filed FOI
What I have gotten back from this govt is silence or attempts to shift blame.
@AndreaHorwath @maritstiles @shaw_sandy Shaw: People deserve straight answers. But this govt's attempt to wash their hands of their responsibility in all this is appalling. People of #HamOnt are looking for accountability. Will the minister come clean, apologize & release the results of the investigation publicly?
