ALT NSTU Press Release: A recent survey of NSTU members indicates that 84 per cent of Nova Scotia’s teachers have considered leaving the profession in the last five years due to burnout, a lack of resources, and several other factors. The survey was distributed to teachers and specialists across the province between the 15th and 23rd of February. It was completed by more than 3,519 members. Eighty-four per cent answered yes to the question: “In the past five years, have you considered leaving the teaching profession, or moving to another province or country to teach?” Only 14 per cent answered no to the question and an additional two per cent said they were unsure.

Today, I was fortunate to be among local 2SLGBTQ+ community leaders who met with Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau.
It’s very telling that the Prime Minister would make time to meet with our community, while Danielle Smith would rather have lunch with Tucker Carlson. /1

Much more needs to be done to retain the experienced, dedicated teachers currently in the system if we are going to address the teacher retention crisis.
Go to actforeducation.ca/action and tell your MLA that it's time to fix our schools. #OurKidsCantWait #nspoli

As we know, Smith’s policies are immoral and illegal. She has no legal basis to stand on. She’d rather debate the safety and human rights of vulnerable youth than follow the law.
“This is an attack on the rights of trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse children.” #cdnpoli

Moments ago, Judge Cannon just made a very dangerous ruling and we cannot let it slip under the radar.
I am sure Jack Smith’s team is working feverishly on a response right now.
Judge Cannon just ordered that by tomorrow February 10, Jack Smith provide Trump with information about the death threats against a confidential witness in the Mar-A-Lago document case which Cannon previously allowed Jack Smith to file ex parte (meaning Trump can’t see it) and under seal (meaning the public can’t see it) as part of his motion for reconsideration where Cannon applied a wrong legal standard and where she ordered dozens of confidential witnesses and their statements in the case be made public.
Here is the sequence of events:
February 6 - Cannon makes a ruling to make the names of confidential witnesses and confidential info public (doc 283)
-February 7 Wednesday Jack Smith makes a filing (doc 289) saying we are going to file a motion for reconsideration of your ruling about making confidential witnesses public and to file that motion for reconsideration we want to show you an exhibit that shows the types of death threats against witnesses but since there is an ON GOING CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION in the threats we CAN ONLY show it you as the judge and not Defendant (they may be the culprit) so we need to file it EX PARTE (only to the you the judge and not Trump) and under seal (NOT PUBLIC)
-Feb 8 Thursday (doc 293) Cannon says Jack Smith can file the document ex parte and under seal as part of your motion for reconsideration of my prior order (doc 283).
-Feb 8 Thursday (doc 294) Jack Smith files his motion for reconsideration as he said he would and filed that exhibit that shows the threats to witnesses as doc 296.
-Feb 9, moments ago, Cannon orders Jack Smith to turn over that ex parte and under seal document to Trump by February 10, effectively imperiling the safety of witness and intentionally compromising the DOJ investigation!

Did you know? 🤔 Under The Education Act, 1995, the responsibility to provide lunchtime supervision is held by school divisions. Teachers provide this service on a volunteer basis.
