I’m sorry - that’s so disappointing. 😔 It’s the trustees’ JOB to advocate for families and help you navigate & resolve issues with school. We’ve been fortunate to have a committed Trustee for my kid’s school (a previous one was useless though).

Yes. www.insurancebusinessmag.com/ca/news/cata...
Regardless, I’m not defending #TDSB and I agree that a financial audit is sensible, but why remove trustees’ roles as parent-advocates?
Furthermore, govt funding has not kept up with inflation… www.thetrillium.ca/news/educati...
But also, “the board incurred $70.1 million in pandemic-related costs that resulted when it followed COVID-19 directives from the province and Toronto Public Health.” Money not reimbursed by the province. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We’ve had all this time to invest in #CleanAir in schools, but apparently we’ve decided to just accept constant illness as the norm instead. 😔
We’ll likely all be long dead by starvation due to #ClimateChange. 😐
These conspiracy theories sound like excuses made by entitled people that just want what they want, without a single care for anyone else or their own environments - yet when they find themselves in danger, no doubt they’ll want everyone else come save them.
"The conspiracy element lies in how these restrictions are interpreted. Instead of viewing them as temporary, critics cast them as a broader scheme: a "test run" for authoritarian climate policies. This taps into familiar pandemic conspiracies about elites manufacturing crises to normalize control."

Climate change: A timeline by @semi_rad via Greenpeace UK.
We’re filling the atmosphere with CO2 like a bathtub with water. Most of it stays for millennia. That is why the cumulative emissions (the total amount, as pictured here) and not yearly emissions determine the amount of #globalwarming.
Wow. Check this out. Politicians actually trying to solve problems can achieve a lot! www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solu...
Beautiful!
As far as I’m aware, their audits no financial indiscretions in #TDSB. Sure there’s likely waste and inefficiencies, especially in such a huge Board, but did need to completely oust Trustees, whose main job is to represent parents/ school community? 🤔

Wow, well done!
Of those 12 complaints, “all but one involved NATIONAL grocery chains” This means that they’re doing it in ALL of their stores across the country. 😑
I don’t think that this is true… I recall reading that the MoE specifically prohibited Boards from selling properties, or even closing schools that were under-enrolled. 🤔
Consumers should post them on all social media - even if they have no shame, least others will know to avoid these cheats.

Exact same thing happened to a friend of mine - drs removed her IUD AFTER she gave birth. It makes for a risky pregnancy though. 😬
“The CFIA can impose fines of up to $15,000 per offence. No fines or other penalties were issued in the cases, including one that took four months to fully resolve.” How much💰💰💰 was wasted to “resolve” these cases, only to let the retailers continue to screw-over Canadian consumers? 😡

I think it’s not the same company? 🤔 Rogers Communications Inc. is a Canadian-based telecommunications and media company - they own A LOT of sports & media real estate across Canada.

Christie Pits in Toronto is a symbol of the fight against fascism. This is where people stopped the Nazis in 1933. The haters are trying to come to the park again. On Sept 13 let's flood the park with people for a non-violent day of resistance to the race haters. Our streets. Our parks. Our cities.

Boycotting #Toronto businesses won’t hurt the employers that are forcing people back to office, but it WILL hurt locals & communities. 🤦🏻♀️ Plus, commuters are adding stress to infrastructure, traffic congestion, etc. so more cost to the city? NOBODY WINS.
