Green Party of Ontario Leader Mike Schreiner released the following statement about ads opposing teachers’ unions placed in major newspapers by a group claiming to represent families:

“We need to find out who’s behind these expensive ads that parrot the Ford government’s talking points.

I’m very suspicious that a group with no online presence that uses stock photos from Poland actually represents the parents of Vaughan.

How can a group that appears to have been created out of thin air afford full-page ad space in Canada’s most-read newspapers?

All signs point to something disingenuous at play.

These ads do not reflect the supportive emails for teachers and public education that parents and the public have sent to my office.

I urge the people behind these ads to be transparent about who they are.”
