Replying to @ianhanomansing
Only in Canada do we finish in the top 10 globally and call ourselves a failure. Want to know why there is a decline in PISA, look at governments cuts in education, erosion of PD for teachers, increased childhood poverty, increased social issues, a pandemic!

The NSTU stands with school support workers. They deserve a fair contract! @cupenovascotia

"We know what schools need to help students heal from the traumas of the last several years: more teachers, counselors, and nurses; smaller class sizes; planning time for educators...beautiful spaces to learn, make art, garden, and play." rethinkingschools.org/articl…

Leaders that hike teacher workload & diminish their ability to support students while proclaiming nothing has changed & everything will be fine shouldn’t bother with platitudes on #WorldTeachersDay. They’ve already spoken loud & clear how much teachers’ work & impact matters.

I like to think grief is the price we pay for truly loving someone. And it’s worth every penny.

Covid rapid testing kits are readily available and free in Nova Scotia! I would love if @HRCE_NS would make them available at all sites so staff can use them if they choose. Thoughts? @withwozney @HalifaxCityNSTU

Dear, Politicians with the power to help intervene; Your weak, PR provoked “Statements” denouncing the current incendiary climate are as hollow as the soulless “Thoughts & Prayers” you’ll inevitably issue if things don’t change, quickly. Step up. 🦞

If I broke into any facility owned by oil and gas and burned the place down, you’d be damn sure I’d be sitting in jail right now. So why the fuck has no one been arrested in NS? You’re showing your true self Canada, and you’re uglier than any of us were willing to admit.
