Thanks to teachers who joined our picket line this morning in Renfrew. We won't accept the Ontario government's (or any government's) disrespect. We're in this together ✊

"Alberta’s premier, free-market champion Jason Kenney, is wreaking havoc on the province’s postsecondary education system — not just through cuts and privatizations but through a brutal reshaping of public education itself." #UAlberta #UCalgary @UASUualberta @ualbertaGSA #abpse

“The result of this onslaught is skyrocketing student tuition and growing labor unrest. Faculty and staff are being told to work even harder for less.”

Métis law student Tyler Beaulac notes that exceptional tuition increases "are making access to the legal system itself and to a legal education more difficult for marginalized communities to meet.”

The JD (law) undergrad program just raised tuition by 29%. #ABpse #ABLeg

Drama students at the #UCalgary boycotted their classes Monday in protest of post-secondary tuition hikes and budget cuts.

The one-day student strike was part of a larger wave of advocacy for affordable tuition in #abpse Monday.

Thanks for sharing @RachelNotley

Alberta's post-secondary students are rallying today against massive UCP cuts and ridiculous increases to tuition as a result.

Let's demand better for Alberta's future leaders. #ableg #abpose #yyc #yeg

Thanks @JanisIrwin! Solidarity!

[Janis Irwin @JanisIrwin]

That’s my constituent @AlexanderDowsey, one of the U of A students I was proud to rally with today outside the #ableg.

Budget cuts and huge tuition hikes are making post-secondary education inaccessible.

Alexander and Alberta’s students deserve so much better. Keep fighting. ✊

🎭 DRAMA STRIKE! 🎭

Their demands include a reversal of the $700 million post-secondary cuts and a tuition freeze! This strike will be taking place on the Alberta Student Day of Action, and is the first of many to come!
