"Ontario provides the lowest level of funding per pupil in Canada ... Ontarians should be completely invested in what's going on at the post-secondary level ... research shows that education systems that are strong also lead to a strong economy." #ONpoli

“We need more research to understand why the work of Indigenization and reconciliation tends to be placed on women and is thereby quite gendered.”

Thank you to @UofT for making your voice heard- Ford's plan to remove bike lanes costs money that is sorely needed elsewhere in our city and makes our communities less healthy and less safe.

Too many contract faculty have to reapply for their jobs every term and don’t know if they will be teaching semester-to-semester or year-to-year. #Fairness4CF #MakeItFair #CDNPSE ocufa.on.ca/fairness makeitfair.caut.ca
