1. So #ThatFuckerDougFord wants to break teachers with a $4,000/day fine for striking.

I'm old enough to remember when he made 39 suspension and seizure orders with $100,000 fines for #OttawaOccupation "truckers" vanish within a week.

No wonder @FordNation won't testify.
2. He promised⬇️, after waiting ~2 weeks to get up off his lazy, unaccountable backside to "stand shoulder to shoulder" in dismantling the Ottawa Occupation... but less than a week later, he flip-flopped and gave a free pass on "severe consequences" .

3. Doug Ford is making it very clear that he tolerates lawlessness for some (occupiers and terrorizers of Ottawa) but won't respect a basic Charter right to strike for others (those who educate your children).

On teachers, he cracks down.

cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
4. He's going to make Queens Park sit as early as 5 a.m. in order to drop the hammer on teachers, even though the taxpayers were on the hook for over $2M in awarded by the court damages the last time an Ontario government tried this exact same move.

@threadreaderapp Unroll please
CORRECTION: Not "teachers" -- as gently pointed out to me yesterday by an actual teacher -- but "education workers".

While the people of whom I'm tweeting changes, the central thesis remains the same.

@CheriDiNovo @Sflecce 1. A little flashback to what happened when an Ontario government tried to pull this with #Bill115:

Ontario Superior Court Judge Thomas Lederer ound that the provincial government “substantially interfered” with teachers’ right to collective bargaining.

globalnews.ca/news/2652200/o…
@CheriDiNovo @Sflecce 2. The government was forced to pay:
- $103.1 million to the province’s elementary teachers
- $50 million to the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation
- $56.7 million to the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

AND
@CheriDiNovo @Sflecce 3.
- $2.75 million to the Ontario Public Service Employees’ Union.

ALTOGETHER:

The Putting Students First Act — which forced contracts, froze pay and ended the practice of banking sick days — has cost the province more than $212.5 million.

RE: @felixtennis is setting himself up very nicely to be named this year's winner of the #LionelConacherAward, given annually to Canada's male athlete of the year by the sports writers of the @CanadianPress.

While Felix is doing well (now ranked #9 in the world), Denis Shapovalov has advanced to his second final this month (to go along with a semi-final, as well, and now ranked #16).

1. To all the Conservatives and pro-CON journalists saying the EA wasn't necessary because Trudeau.

To all #TheLoudmouths calling the dismantling of the Ottawa Occupation the worst violation of human rights in Canadian history.

Flashback to 2010.

2. Flashback to when, thankfully-former-PM Harper was in charge...

Stuff like this didn't need get to the 4th weekend before police had a very clear plan and plenty of resources for kettling, riot gear, cages for protestors, tear gas...

3. Culminating in a class action suit, settled for $16.5M, because pretty much everything about how this was handled was wrong...

Journalists, pundits, member of the CPC? Have you all been stricken with #Harpernesia?

How 'bout some 🤬ing context?!?
