TFS News y Views -The Twitter Edition


Goodbye Teacher Free Speech News y Views blogs! Welcome to TFS News y Views -The Twitter Edition instead! You can follow me: 

@davidchiarelli

I'm a retired teacher and an avid political activist. I like to share the latest links with you, dear reader, so that you can more easily consider and analyse them too. 

If you've followed my blogsite at all over the past 11 years, you know that I'm a total news junkie. I live y breathe the news. 

My quarterly news y views blog is gone now, but in it's wake, please give my Twitter Edition of TFS News y Views a gander too. 

It's very important to understand what's going on in the world around us. The many changes happening daily are part and parcel of our life and times. We need to be aware of them and try to plan accordingly. But don't worry! I'll include lots of cool music, arts y lifestyle links to make for a more happy and fun read too!

Recently, my Twitter links have focused on the worldwide Covid pandemic, the "FreeDumb" insurrection in Canada and Russia's invasion of the Ukraine. This spring I'll also be closely following the Ontario provincial election. Then there's the US midterms in the fall! All this and lots more to come!


My focus, as always, is on home, country and the world at large. More or less Toronto, Ontario, Canada and the international scene, but not necessarily, in that order.

Both my blogsite and Twitter feed remain non-monetized. I have a progressive, and inclusive, counter culture point of view. I don't represent, nor am I beholden to anybody else, unlike most news services.

Social media is often the best place for news in our post truth world. It's live, immediate, and unfiltered. It comes from a wealth of incredibly wide and diversified sources all around the world. 

Granted, one still needs to read widely. Think critically. Be media literate. Sadly, the mainstream print, radio and TV news media aren't up to the job anymore. Often they're just biased, mediocre, and misleading at best. 

Over the last two years, my Teacher Free Speech News and Views blogs quickly became outdated. The news focus now changes almost every day. More and more of the links are behind pay walls. Plus they're often quickly removed [or "scrubbed"] by the powers that be. 

With TFS News y Views -The Twitter Edition, we cast a wider net. Hopefully, it'll be easier keeping up to date, while being much more in-depth and comprehensive too.

Please stay tuned!

Hi David
I remember reading you daily during the whole MOU fiasco. I remember you making the prediction that centralized bargaining would result in the Province giving a list of what teachers will receive. Looks like that is happening.

Afraid so. Hope the affiliates maintain solidarity this time or they are done for!
