I will keep working to protect and improve our education system. 🇨🇦

Last night the families of Richmond Hill sent a very clear message by voting to bring common-sense policies back to our education system.
Parents and teachers united behind our vision for a merit-based system that prioritizes education and school safety instead of politics.

We must keep politics out of our classrooms. That was my message on the tragic anniversary of October 7th.
Schools should be places for fact-based learning.
The is no room for partisan politics, foreign politics, racial politics or any other kind.
Let's unite as Canadians.

I'm pleased to announce that the YRDSB has officially ended its police ban.
We will be welcoming educational presentations from police officers to teach students about safety, including online safety, traffic safety, drug safety and more.

48% of Richmond Hill families moved to Canada to escape communism (including mine).
Another 18% moved here to escape theocracy.
48% + 18% = 66%.
66% also happens to be the % of voters who voted for our promise to keep politics out of our classrooms.
I will never back down.

We ran a policy-focused campaign and received twice as many votes as all eight of the other candidates combined. Our massive victory gives me a clear mandate to implement those policies.

Dear friends and neighbours,
On March 31st, our YRDSB school board trustee for Richmond Hill Wards 1, 2 and 4, Crystal Yu suddenly resigned from her role.
A by-election will be taking place soon to fill the vacancy and I intend to put my name forward as a candidate.

Political ideologies - of any kind - must never be forced on students.
Great work Trustee Pei and Trustee Hastings of the TDSB for taking the lead on this important issue.
Unanimous! A huge win for Toronto parents, students and families. Your advocacy won us over. We heard your plea for school safety, and we act on. Please remember, stand up for yourself and for your loved ones, and I will always stand up for you. Thank you for all the pouring

Thank you Mayor

for taking time to speak with me about ways the City can work together with the YRDSB.
The City's expertise with traffic coordination around schools is a great asset to the YRDSB.
He also offered his support for the proposed Oak Ridges High School.

Financial literacy is one of the most important aspects of education yet it has been almost non-existent in Canada.
I'm glad to see Saskatchewan and Ontario taking leadership on this file.
Financial literacy will improve people's lives and bring economic prosperity to everyone.
November is Financial Literacy Month!
In Feb 2019, we'll be piloting these classes in high schools, and pending successful results, rolling it out fully the year following.
Teaching our next generation about managing finances is key for our kids, our province, and our future.

Like in any other job, teachers should be hired based on merit.
Hiring based on seniority (first-come first serve basis) eliminates accountability and incentives to work hard.
Merit based hiring puts students and hard working teachers first.
The best teacher for the job.
That’s what students deserve, parents expect, and what our government will deliver.

Thank you to our law enforcement officers for working to keep York Region safe.
We need to keep illegal firearms and deadly drugs out of our schools.
The YRDSB must put the safety of children first and reverse its recent ban on police officers visiting schools. 👮♂️👮♀️❤👨👩👧👦
York regional police say they’ve dismantled a criminal network that was smuggling guns from the United States into Canada and dealing copious amounts of drugs

It is one of the two most important dates along with Canada Day.
We must remember those who served and still serve in the Canadian Armed Forces and their allies.
It is because of the their sacrifices that we live in a free democracy called Canada. 🇨🇦
Today marks the 100th anniversary of the Armistice that ended the First World War. We remember the sacrifices so many made so we can enjoy the freedoms we do today. Wear your Poppy as a pledge to never forget.

I'm opposed to a lottery. I believe that a student who spends fourteen years working hard to learn about a subject, should not have his/her career and dreams crushed because of a lottery.

It's reassuring to hear that the Government of Ontario intends to have schools fully open for in-person learning this fall. 🔓🎒

The government's decision to introduce merit based hiring is a huge step forward.
However, many school boards have found a loophole.
They define merit as being based almost solely on seniority, without much consideration of education, work ethic, other work experience etc.
