It started with parent complaints about social media and impact on kids To a principal saying to me ”they should pay” Leading to my motion at TCDSB and lobbying govt via OCSTA School boards now closer to making social media accountable for harm caused to kids


During media scrum following debate Crombie was asked again question from @MaritStiles regarding $24,000 private health care donation she accepted. Crombie confirmed she will accept $ from anyone … but worse didn’t rule out private health care in Ontario.

His Grace, Archbishop Leo celebrates mass at St Norbert and enjoys BBQ by Knoghts of Columbus. TCDSB Principals Arena &Gagliardi, Teresa Colonna, OAPCE rep Frank Bruno TSU, AND other volunteers and parishioners. Wish Father Augusto well in his new parish.




I too was lucky. Great to see our children immersed in Italian Heritage. Great International Language instructors and advocates know learning language in a global world is a necessity for kids. Language benefits student learning in 44 TCDSB schools @ToddSmithPC Proud!
Today I was fortunate to attend the Italian Heritage Month cultural expose held at @stconradcs several educational and entertaining performances. Great job @TCDSB @Equity_TCDSB @mariarizzo
