Conservatives in a nutshell, cut healthcare & education – line up the pockets of your corporate buddies.
Neoliberalism, baby!
Privatization of everything. Profit for the overlords.
This is what we voted for… Or didn’t because no one showed up. EVERY PERSON WHO DIDN’T VOTE, THAT WAS A VOTE FOR FORD.
PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IN THE NEXT ELECTION. VOTE! AND VOTE STRATEGICALLY BASED ON YOUR RIDING!
We can get rid of the cancer, we just need coordinated treatment and PEOPLE TO SHOW UP!
Wow… Just wow. The younger generation is already suffering enough as it is. This is bullshit.
ending the tuition freeze is good.
Cutting OSAP grants is counterproductive
Governments always say they want to help people and bring people out of poverty etc. So they will increase and cost of education, and provide less money to students so increasing the amount of debt they have thereby discouraging poor people from getting a higher education/better job.
Maybe give free tuition and then means test a grant so people can get living expenses. People will get higher paying jobs, pay more tax etc. Yes it’s a long term commitment by the government but that is what governments can do.
I don’t hate the idea that education should cost *something* because then you have skin in the game and a drive to finish. It’s still subsidized by the tax base at large. That said, interest on student loans should be 0% for 10 years after you graduate and the interest OSAP does pay should go to the grants to keep the whole thing in-house. My two cents.
Wait you were able to get 85 percent grants as a low income student ? When I was in school it www like 30 percent or so in my province . But as long as you’re able to get loans I don’t see it as a big deal. Just stopped me from studying something useless. My kid sister is fully on student loans finishing medicine- low to no income family and she is doing fine. Was 28 by the time my loans were paid off and I even changed programs once .
Hey young eligible voters! Maybe fucking vote!?
I understand the tuition freeze ending despite it sucking for people looking to go to school. Inflation has been going up and so have the costs of these schools.
The OSAP loan changes are more disappointing for me.
About time.
Budget committees hate tuition freezes as costs keep rising and the provinces aren’t increasing their education budgets to meet demand. The only way universities could keep up is by charging more tuition from international students, but this has exposed a really huge gap when immigration was cut back.
You guys need some red squares? You’re in luck, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois just left QS, he must have some free time on his hands.
Post secondary budgets are completely fucked. Something had to give.
People were pissed that Ford froze tuition. Now they are pissed he is unfreezing it.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Destroying Ontario
School or no school, there’s no jobs anyways!
