“I would say to minister Pascale Déry, who’s minister of higher education in Qc, that, as the minister, her mandate is to protect these institutions & the students who put their trust in them.” Qc university student unions to fight province's tuition hike montreal.ctvnews.ca/quebec-univers…

“Yes, it’s true that 6,399 Ontario students went to Quebec to study and benefitted from QC taxpayer dollars. But guess what? 6,456 Quebec students went to Ontario and benefitted from ON taxpayer dollars!” This piece is 🎯 Follow up on Quebec | HESA higheredstrategy.com/follow-up-on-q…

@ToulasTake Thank you very much for your very well articulated piece in the Mtl Gazette today. It captured the issues perfectly.

“This fee increase of $8,992 to $17,000 will price out the poorest out-of-province students, saddle students with further debts, and require students to work even more during their studies to afford their education.” #Quebec montreal.citynews.ca/2023/10/20/stu…

The lowest paid education workers took on the Ford Conservatives and won. Bill 28 will be repealed. Now it's time for a good deal. #onpoli #onted #canlab

Bill 28 to be rescinded. I'm so proud of every #CUPE education worker who despite threats from the Ford government, went ahead with the strike. You've shown that truly, power belongs to the people. A standing ovation for CUPE & all unions fighting to protect workers' rights.

Thank you @waltonmom. You spoke with strength, grace, truth and equity, giving voice to so many.

Hey Doug, I’m a parent who wants my kids back in school So, stop with the politics, repeal Bill 28 & pay CUPE workers fair wages Hint: “Fair” means above poverty level w/ increases that keep up with inflation

So, anyone else waiting around for a decision of the Ontario Labour Relations Board tonight. Or is it just us labour law nerds? #CUPE #OnPoli #CharterOfRights

Thank you @timrgill. A valuable read for every educator and education administrator - anyone who has a stake in children's healthy development. It provides a strong understanding of a risk benefit assessment and the principle concepts related to risk.... ow.ly/Ybr250pRzn4
