I'll be teaching twenty Gr 3 students this fall. This partial back-to-school order would cost $290.38 through my school board and $668.98 at Staples. #DougFord loves talking tough about protecting us from Tr*mp, but he's taking $60M out of public education and handing it to an 🇺🇸 company. #OntEd

The entire fuckin point of the national mall is loitering

“Loitering is not permitted in this area. Please proceed to a designated location. Thank you for your cooperation,” a surveillance machine tells a small cluster of National Guard members as they patrol the fenced off Reflecting Pool in the rain.

I can't with this guy anymore. The only thing worse than watching #POR play is watching it with a "color commentator" who loves to hear himself talk and tell his "insightful" stories. #WorldCup #TSN #STFU
