If you’re a young person in Ontario, you’re stuck in Doug Ford’s vicious cycle: higher rents, fewer opportunities, and sky-high expenses. Now, Doug Ford is adding to all this sh*t by cutting OSAP and lifting the tuition freeze. And by turning OSAP grants into loans, you're
At a minimum, cuts to OSAP grants will have paid for 43% of announced university funding increases—and possibly more. These changes exacerbate the affordability crisis and risk putting a university education out of reach for many students. tinyurl.com/yjccsa9r
So @avilewis proposal to add a small tax on wealth over 10 million which would add 40 BILLION to mitigate the cost of education housing and healthcare would make Canada a better place. What exactly is the reason we don’t? The majority of Canadians who support this want to know

Algonquin College delays decision to suspend 30 programs after Ontario boosts post-secondary funding
Algonquin College is delaying a decision on whether to suspend 30 more programs after the Ontario government announced $6.4 billion in additional funding for colleges and universities and lifted the...

Shrinking OSAP grants only makes it harder for young people to access education. The Ford government has underfunded postsecondary schools for years. Instead of fixing the real issues, they're forcing students to foot the bill.
BREAKING: The ford government is lifting the long-standing tuition freeze for college and university students, as part of its post secondary funding changes: • Tuition: 2% increase per year for 3 years, then rate of 2% or 3-year inflation average • PSE funding: $1.6 B per
Ontario’s minister of colleges and universities says despite the funding increase “there are still more efficiencies that need to be found across the whole sector” #onpoli

Reminder: in Ford’s last budget, there was NO money for health, education or housing. Meanwhile he spent millions of tax dollars on a Super Bowl TV ad making himself look good. He’s spent more on advertising than any other govt. in Ontario’s history.😳
We can’t normalize these cuts and pretend that our government isn’t creating these disasters to bring in profiteers! All hospitals are bankrupt but for 1 🤔 Why are we not enacting the #HealthAct? Ford has had 8 years for a plan, We’re seeing it in action now #DougFordIsCORRUPT
Sudbury could lose 135 frontline staff, 35 hospital beds: CUPE Planned reductions in provincial funding will ‘intensify hallway health care,’ union warns thesudburystar.com/news/local-new…
And Doug Ford is trying to take it over and hand it to private hotels
This is what hallway health care looks like in Ontario. It's nurses changing elderly patients in the hallway out of soiled clothing, not because of a lack of care, but rather a lack of resources. For Dr. Raghu Venugopal, an Ontario emergency room physician of 20 years, it's
Niagara Health announced 98 workers were being laid off (88 union) to save $10M. Now, they're closing the Welland LTC - displacing 87–115 residents (75–87 long-term care and 40 interim beds) and leaving another 140 people without jobs. #DougFordIsCorrupt #ONhealth #ONpoli
Ontario hospitals used $4 million of public funds to pay bank interest for credit lines: -Hamilton Health: $2 million -Niagara Health: $1 million -Perth and Smiths Falls: $226,000 -Brockville Hospital: $214,429 Underfund hospitals. They turn to banks. ijb.utoronto.ca/news/why-ontar…
Every health care worker knows that “finding efficiencies” is a euphemism for job losses. But that’s exactly what Doug Ford’s budget cuts are setting the stage for. At a time when Ontario is facing the worst measles outbreak in a generation and ranks last in per-capita health
Every province outside of Ontario gained jobs last month. Ontario lost over 65,000. Ontario is falling behind the rest of Canada. Better is possible, and if you want better, the answer is participation. eventbrite.ca/e/team-nate-or…

“As always, young people bear the heaviest burden of a weakening labour market. They are the last hired, and first fired – and hence rising youth unemployment is a danger sign of labour market turbulence ahead.” #onpoli
Nearly 600,000 people under 30 were unemployed at the end of 2025. Youth unemployment is a warning sign we should not ignore. #workforce #youthworkers @JimboStanford buff.ly/yicBqSQ
Any decent leader would be hanging their head over this. And this is happening in a province that spends less per person than anywhere else in the country. Disgraceful. #ONPoli
