Today, the government just voted to end debate and skip public hearings on Bill 33, shutting out parents, educators, and students from having any say. Our voices matter. Our schools matter. But it's not too late to take action: email the Premier and demand he withdraw Bill 33. #onpoli #onted

The Ontario Autism Coalition, Community Living Ontario, ETFO, and countless parents have spoken out: special education is in crisis. Chronic underfunding continues to fail children with disabilities. The Minister of Education needs to fund our schools and protect our students.

This Minister of Education can pretend he doesn’t understand how funding cuts work but the facts don't lie. When you don’t fund education at the same rate as inflation and enrollment growth, that’s a cut. It’s that simple. Ontario students deserve real investment, not partisan spin.

Our classrooms are overcrowded. Teachers and EAs are exhausted. Students with special needs are being left behind. Instead of fixing the crisis, Bill 33 silences the very people fighting for solutions. Parents, communities and students deserve better

The closure of the AAADD program at Algonquin is a huge loss for adults with developmental disabilities who deserve access to post-secondary education. For just $80K a year, this govt could keep this vital program. Ottawa’s young people shouldn’t lose their right to learn.

The Minister of Education thinks local democracy exists at his command, to be taken away when he feels like it. Bill 33 would shut parents’ voices out of our schools, but we deserve a say in the decisions affecting our kids. The Minister needs to respect parents and withdraw bill 33.
