Enough is Enough. Our kids deserve better. The many TO teachers who don’t support their TECT Union’s actions do too.
Please sign this petition & share to send a message to TECT that 90K TCDSB elementary kids & their families won’t be bullied any longer.

Absence of free & trusted community financial empowerment services for people living on low-incomes in Canada will risk leaving hundreds of thousands of Canadians out of COVID-19 recovery.

There is no room nor should there be any tolerance for racism of any kind in this country or anywhere else in this world. It is heartbreaking to watch this, especially hearing the older Asian gentleman continually repeat “I am Canadian”. #BIPOC #stopracism #noroomforhate
“I am Canadian." A powerful response to this hateful interaction at a T&T Supermarket in Mississauga.
Chinese and Asian Canadians, especially young people, who watch this video may be filled with anger, fear, and sadness.
