Not surprising, but still disappointing. Conservative candidate @EllisBRoss has decided not to attend the first debate in Skeena—Bulkley Valley. He’s applying for the job of MP for a riding the size of Germany, yet doesn’t think he needs to show up for the job interview.

@Bilaru2 Tuition shouldn’t rise when the quality of education is the worst in the country and rapidly decreasing further. Students shouldn’t pay more while professors are being laid off and postsec institutions have plans to reduce instructional hours to the bare ministry standard.

@connor__peters I had to take out a private loan to pay for living expenses that could have partially been covered by OSAP and my part-time job. When tuition is more expensive than the quality of ed students are receiving, we have a problem in this province—and it didn’t just start 8 yrs ago.

@connor__peters Not intentionally cutting off at 2016. My point is that when I entered high school and started thinking about uni to when I started uni, cost had jumped 22.2%. I benefitted from the boost to OSAP, but my OSAP still only covered my tuition because it was now so expensive.

Between 2011 (when I started high school) and 2016 (when I started uni), tuition under the Ontario Liberals rose by 22.2%. It’s rich hearing the OLP now cry out to “fix OSAP” when their gov’t underfunded postsec institutions and near doubled tuition during their years in power.

Yesterday, we witnessed firsthand the powerful emotions of hundreds of students outside Queen's Park. Standing with the students of Ontario, our collective message to Doug Ford is clear and unchanging: hands off our futures. We need to fix OSAP — ASAP. #onpoli

Incredible turnout at the #OSAPProtest today.  Students, unions, and allies united against Ford's attack on affordability. With grants slashed to 25% max and loans dominating, we're seeing what happens when you mess with students’ futures.   I'm ready to fight back.  What's next?   Find out at: fixosapasap.ca

@DorothyNoronha The Liberals like to placate people with hope for the future but when it comes to governing, they govern from the right and privatize privatize private. And let’s not forget Carney also cut OSAP this year by $1,200 per student per year.

@DorothyNoronha I work for the Official Opposition. A majority of my focus is on the Ford government. This is just one tweet. An Ontario NDP government would convert all loans to grants and cancel current OSAP debt. Students voted overwhelmingly for that in 2018.

@KarlRholoff One tweet about the Liberals doesn’t mean I don’t think Ford is ruining Ontario.

@_Sam_Hamilton I agree the Liberals have governed poorly and deserve the wilderness but blaming them for this is rich. Ford has run the province since 2018. When do the problems under his watch become his fault?

@KarlRholoff The we wouldn’t be taking out as much OSAP as we do if tuition was half of what it is and the government invested in Postsec instead of the gas plant scandal, the e-health scandal, and partisan advertising.

Students across ONT understand the consequences of the Ford PC's cuts to OSAP. More loans mean more debt and less opportunity for low-income and first-gen students. Proud to have attened the rally here at Queen's Park today to #FixOSAPASAP! #onpoli #OSAP

At Queen’s Park standing with students calling out the Ford government’s cuts to OSAP grants. Students deserve opportunity, not more debt. Fix OSAP — ASAP.

Very reasonable criticism. That said, ALL opposition parties should have excoriated the Ford government for their passive observance of the growth of diploma mills & the “Conestoga effect” of blowing up their int’l numbers to the point of devastating absurdity. Said nothing then when it would have mattered.
