How do we have money for this, but we can’t fix hospitals, schools, and help Ontarians with rising cost of living? This government’s priorities are absurd. #onpoli

The Ford government appears to have narrowed down the potential site for a new 2-million sq. ft. multi-billion dollar convention centre: the Exhibition grounds. The premier is promising no casino. #onpoli

NDP leader Marit Stiles says the party is preparing motions for the legislature to force a vote on OSAP changes. Other than that opposition parties say the can use the external pressure to apply pressure during Question period. Opposition parties will have limited time. This is, once again, a shortened session. #onpoli

The decision to raise tuition and overhaul OSAP sppears to be weighing on Premier Doug Ford, who also defended the decision but asked students for understanding. #onpoli

Telling teenagers to just stop buying “fancy clothes, watches, or cars” and save for their future ignores the reality they’re living in. How are students supposed to save for post-secondary while still in high school when the part-time jobs past generations relied on are disappearing to automation, AI, and self-checkouts? Those entry-level jobs were once the bridge to independence. That bridge is shrinking while tuition and living costs keep rising. Many families simply can’t afford to carry those costs. Students aren’t choosing luxuries over education they’re trying to find work and opportunity in an economy that offers fewer stable starting points. And Doug Ford, it’s hard to lecture young people about scraping and saving when you came from a position of family support and an established family business. Most students today don’t have that safety net. Young people don’t need lectures about spending. They need access to jobs, affordable education, and policies that reflect the world they’re actually growing up in. #onpoli

NEW: Premier Doug Ford says he was receiving “massive pressure” from the post secondary sector to lift the tuition freeze. On OSAP: Ford says to students “you have to invest in your future.” Ford says students are “probably upset” right now and claims that some were using

The cost of living, groceries, and rent continue to rise in Ford’s Ontario. By gutting OSAP, this government has chosen to place a heavier burden on students. These cuts do nothing but make it harder for young people to get ahead in Ontario. #onpoli thestar.com/news/ontario/s…

Cutting OSAP grants doesn’t “save money”, it blocks opportunity. @fordnation's shift to 85% loans will push working-class students into debt or out of school. Sign our petition against OSAP cuts: oyl.org/handsoffosap

Mark my words: Doug Ford made a BIG mistake hiking tuition and taking a hammer to OSAP. This already has 905 parents across many income levels, not just low income, hopping mad. Parents have been going to financial extremes during an affordability crisis to get their kids educated, and Doug just made it 100x harder for them. It's disgraceful. Yes colleges need more funding. But hiking tuition and lighting OSAP on fire isn't the answer. Doug doesn't realize it yet but this was the last straw for a big segment of his voter support. #onpoli

OSAP barely covers the basics. Students rely on OSAP while working multiple jobs just to afford necessities. No one is buying fancy watches or cologne. We need solutions that help Ontarians afford education, not dismissive remarks that invalidate students' concerns and struggles

@ColinDMello @fordnation needs to understand that we are in the middle of a financial crisis with grocery inflation at 7.3 and youth unemployment at 14.3. These kids can’t afford to pay off these huge loans. Get more money from @MarkJCarney #onpoli #cdnmedia

Ford’s OSAP changes shift support from grants to loans, increasing debt for low- and middle-income students at a time of rising tuition and living costs. I’ve written to @nolanmquinn calling for repeal. Education must remain accessible and not become a privilege for the wealthy.
