“We are disappointed that after only a few short days back at the table, students may be forced out of the classroom because CUPE has made the decision to strike,” Lecce’s office statement said. “The government offered CUPE more money in salaries, while maintaining their generous pension, benefits and sick leave program, and it is unfair that they are walking out on students and their parents, many of whom are frontline health care workers.

Why is Ontario turning its back on low-cost, low-carbon power?The Doug Ford government’s perplexing approach to keeping the lights on in Ontario took another bizarre turn recently when it tore up an energy co-operation agreement with Quebec. This agreement was a way for Ontario to access the low-cost clean water power that Quebec has in abundance. Quebec is a green-energy superpower. Ontario, not so much.  Our province plans to ramp up its use of gas plants by more than 600 per cent and build the equivalent of three new gas plants. If this occurs, we will lose half the greenhouse gas pollution reduction benefits we achieved by phasing out our dirty coal plants. While the federal government struggles to display our green credentials at COP27, Ontario could blow a hole through federal climate targets in one fell swoop. Ontario Energy Minister Todd Smith says he wants to ensure future energy deals are made through competitive processes. That is, unless they involve unproven new nuclear reactors, or hideously expensive nuclear rebuilds. Then, just send the bills to the government and it will pay whatever is required, no questions asked. While the federal government struggles to display our green credentials at COP 27, Ontario could blow a hole through federal climate targets in one fell swoop, writes Angela Bischoff, director of the Ontario Clean Air Alliance.

Meanwhile, Ontario covers its eyes and ears and refuses to work with its power-rich neighbour, turning away offer after offer for power that is a fraction of the cost of new or even existing nuclear. But isn’t Quebec about to run out of power? No. Would a province that is running out of power to export be fighting tooth and nail to build new transmission lines to the northeast states?   Ontario could double power imports from Quebec today using existing transmission lines, and could double them again by building new lines through existing

Lecce hopeful talks will resume with CUPE Thursday as strike by Ontario education workers loomsThere appeared to be little movement in bargaining between the Ontario government and the union representing 55,000 educational support workers Thursday, with days left before another possible strike that could shut down Ontario schools. They lied about the 39k & they are lying about what they call “services”, basically waiting to be paid for hrs they don’t work. Also lied about hiring & funding cuts. IdontstandwithCUPE Ask any other private cleaner what they are paid...members give your heads a shake... Teaching assistants deserve more... IdontstandwithCUPE

Guess it doesn't matter to Cupe if the teachers strike or not or hundreds of parents will lose pay...Cause they still their 6 figure salary Fire them all!!! Enough of the entitlement!
