Students are dealing with debt, uncertainty, and the fallout from a government that let serious OSAP problems grow for years.

Nolan Quinn’s response? “I will not apologize.” “I will not resign.”

No remorse. No accountability. Just students left to deal with the consequences.

Today, I asked Doug Ford to fix OSAP, honour funding commitments to students who have been cut off, and fire his Minister of Colleges and Universities over the billion-dollar OSAP fraud scandal.

The Premier didn't answer.

His Minister did, but avoided taking accountability for e to stop suspected fraud despite years of warnings. As usual.

Students deserve answers, not excuses. #onpoli @OntLiberal

Katherine is a constituent in my riding, but thousands of students across Ontario are in the same position as her.

The Ford PCs broke OSAP, and now students like Katherine are caught in the fallout of this government's failure. #onpoli #FixOSAPASAP

Doug Ford is failing on every issue you care about.

Affordability, health care, education; @fordnation has either not moved the needle at all, or made it worse.

After 145 days, MPPs are finally back in the legislature today, and the Ontario Liberals are ready to hold Doug Ford accountable.

As we mark Islamic Heritage Month, we celebrate the rich histories, cultures, contributions and diversity of Muslims across Ontario.

This month is an opportunity to reflect on the values of inclusion, respect, and belonging that strengthen our society.

Approved. Enrolled. Abandoned.

The @fordnation government’s negligent management of $1B of OSAP is unbelievable.

Warned multiple times for more than three years of suspicious activity, they did nothing.

Now they are in a rush and are cutting off good people at the knees.

Last year @fordnation spent a record $117m on taxpayer funded self promoting ads

It’s a choice and it’s the wrong one.

For cancer patients needing treatment, laid off workers needing a new career and kids with exceptionalities needing help at school…

It’s all wrong.
NEW: The Ford government has broken its own record for ad spending.

Internal documents show its advertising bill climbed to more than $117 million last year, according to internal documents — the highest total in a single year in Ontario’s history.

A breakdown of how the story by me and @CharliePinkerto: thetrillium.ca/news/governmen…

Thousands of students have had their OSAP ripped away. Now they’re facing dropping out, homelessness, and financial ruin.

The Ford government was warned about potential fraud for years. Instead of targeting the bad actors, students at public and private institutions are paying with @ColinDMello on Global News’ Focus Ontario to discuss the growing OSAP crisis and why students deserve better.

Doug Ford is already refusing to swear in the trustees who will be elected next Monday at eight school boards across Ontario.

People should be able to vote knowing the representatives they choose will actually be allowed to serve.

They shouldn’t be trying to run everything from oli @JohnFraserOS

The Ford government destroyed OSAP. They were warned about potential fraud for years and failed to act.

Now students across Ontario can’t pay rent, tuition and groceries, and they’re being told to wait until the new year. What are they supposed to do in the mean time?

Students should not have to pay the price for this government’s incompetence.

Cut off the bad actors. Restore OSAP for students who followed the rules. Immediately. #onpoli

So many questions about the Greenbelt scandal.

How did a developer whose proposal reached the housing minister’s office in June 2021 end up having that exact property removed from the Greenbelt in November 2022, and who was involved in making that decision? #onpoli

Les libéraux de l’Ontario exigent que le gouvernement de Doug Ford comble les graves lacunes en matière de services en français au sein de ServiceOntario.

Les francophones devraient pouvoir accéder aux services auxquels ils ont légalement droit sans qu’on leur demande de revenir oir composer avec le manque de personnel bilingue.

Après près de huit ans au pouvoir, le gouvernement Ford doit remédier aux problèmes de dotation en personnel, faire respecter les règles et mettre en œuvre les recommandations du commissaire.

Doug Ford scapegoated students and cut their OSAP grants saying they were abusing it.

Now we know the potential abuse was happening in a handful of private colleges with ties to the Ford government, now referred to the OPP.

Stop making students pay for the government’s failures. Reverse the OSAP grant cuts to students in the public sector. Immediately the OSAP loans to students in legitimate career programs. #onpoli

Layoff notices have gone out to workers in some career colleges. Students who had OSAP taken away are being told if they can’t pay their tuition they will have to drop out. They can’t pay their rent, tuition, groceries, bills. These are future PSWs, ECEs, social workers…

Meanwhile, Premier @fordnation and Minister @nolanmquinn are silent. Do your job. Reverse this decision, and restore the grants to public students while you’re at it. #FixOSAP #onpoli
