(THREAD) The Ford government's and the Minister of Education's lies about "historic" funding in the education sector have once again been indisputably proven. Thanks to the Financial Accountability Office, we now know $844 million went unspent last quarter.

1/ Just this Tuesday, Education Minister Stephen Lecce claimed mental health funding is up “400%” because “we recognize the demand is up”. #Onted #OnPoli

2/This is a misleading statistic, as with roughly 2 million children in our public schools, 90 million dollars equates to 45 dollars per child, proof this government doesn’t understand how doubling & quadrupling on nothing is as ineffective as it is “historic”. #Onted #OnPoli

3/ Students need real, consistent, and widely available support, and this starts with staffing, an issue this government has shown it won't tackle. #Onted #OnPoli thestar.com/amp/news/gta/2…

4/ The government has recognized that the demand for mental health support is increasing, yet their solution has been to continue the approach they’ve used for the past 4 years. throwing money where it’s ineffective and cutting it where it's needed #Onted #OnPoli

5/It’s not just education where the ford government underspent last quarter, Healthcare was down $1.251 billion, Children's and social services down $458 million, Postsecondary education $175 million, and 3.5 billion for “other programs” that includes municipal projects. #OnPoli

6/In a healthy society, all of these services are interwoven as they simply cannot exist alone. We’re seeing an attack on the future of our province and it’s workers; if it weren't for the FAO's reports, the devastation and the government's lies would go unchecked. #Onted #OnPoli
