Given the exodus of talent from the US, #Ontario should also allow for recognition of equivalent training, perhaps reducing the education requirement to 0 semesters and only 1 or 2 semesters of practicum.

I'd love to hear perspectives from #Teachers on this.

Humility in victory, grace in defeat + a shared determination to learn/improve. These are the traits of a mature democracy + Canada displayed them yesterday. Our shared belief in political community + liberal democratic norms makes possible a meaningful politics of dialogue + stable government.

"Why does Elections Canada use paper ballots and hand-counting?"

It's fast, fair, and human. I like it!

I look forward to seeing what my compatriots have chosen in different regions of the country.

Last polls close at 7pm pacific, I believe.

Vancouver Sun article:
"As more provinces and cities use electronic tabulators to speed up vote counts, Elections Canada has opted to stick with the hand-count."

This is disturbing. This is the current US President trying to tamper with the #CanadianElection on Election Day, by posting this on alt-right Truth Social.

It's full of lies & is a threat "to annex/invade - ZERO BENEFITS for Canadians, only oppression & more total lies. This is what foreign criminal interference / Influence Campaigns look like from authoritarian states." (quote from a media friend)

Get out & #VOTE, #Canada, our sovereignty depends on it.

Ok, Canada, we’ve got this. Today we send the Conservatives packing. The farther away Poilievre is from any power, the better.

Gratitude for Elections Canada the independent, singular national agency that coordinates the business of getting millions of us to the polls.

And a big shout out to the thousands of temporary poll workers who pull it all together in a seamless + professional way.

We are well served.

In regard to Monday's federal election in Canada - after watching mobster Ford and his Conservative minions destroy Ontario for the last 7 years, as well as what's transpiring in the USA with all the insane moves coming out of Trump's fascist Whitehouse - we can draw one conclusion:

Living under modern day Conservative governments is like going for a plane ride. The expectation is that it will be all fun and exciting before the flight starts. But it's too late when the plane gets to 30,000 feet and passengers are being pushed out with no parachute.
It's divisive and self serving.
But don't worry about the fall - it's a breeze. And that sudden stop at the end? The pain only lasts a split second - don't worry about it.

That's what awaits with a Conservative vote ... or abdicating our responsibility to cast our ballot.

Please #vote !
Our country and our culture needs our support now more than ever!

#Poilievre suggests the #policyhorizonscanada report is a reason to not vote #Liberal

The #2 disruption in the report is "Biodiversity is lost and ecosystems collapse (7 years)"

So, where's his plan to address the #climatecrisis ?
