The Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario represents over 350,000 college and university students in all regions of the province.

The evidence keeps mounting — the Ford Government scapegoated trivial data to usher in major austerity measures on post secondary education and put students in a lifetime of debt.

BREAKING: Student Organizations are, once again, officially MORE democratic and accountable to their members than the Ford government.

HAPPENING NOW: Teachers, parents and allies are inside and outside of the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan AGM demanding this pension, one of the biggest in the world, divest from the companies arming war crimes and the murder of children.

[CFS-Ontario @CFSON]

You cannot be serious.

So the Premier slashes OSAP over baseless claims of students spending on “luxury watches”, but is happy to splurge on a million-dollar private jet. While students are pushed deeper into debt, this government chooses luxury for itself.

#NEW: Ontario purchases $28.9M private jet for Doug Ford’s ‘extensive travel’ https://t.co/gJ8414Qb5e

So between the Ontario Science Centre closure, private spas, conventions and highways, decimating the education sector and burdening students with debt...amateur, who??

The only thing being bankrupted right now are students' futures.

As Premier Doug Ford was asked about the OSAP changes, he thundered back, calling the Ontario Liberals a "bunch of amateurs" who would bankrupt a lemonade stand.

Note: Under Ford, Ontario's debt will grow to half-a-trillion and the budget has yet to be balanced.

Ford’s Government thinks they can make these changes without any consequences. They think students aren’t paying attention. But we are.

Give your MPP a call – tell them exactly how you feel about these changes.

BREAKING: Ford Government fails @OntarioNDP Opposition Day Motion to reverse OSAP cuts with a 40-60 vote. Even when handed an opportunity to change course on their detrimental decision, they double down on destroying students’ futures with no remorse. #onpoli

So school boards & PSE get hit with Bill 33, because "transparency" (when SU's already have detailed accountability measures + decision making power in the hands of students); meanwhile the Ford government gets exemptions from FOI and accountability from the public.

BREAKING: the Ford government’s controversial changes to freedom of information laws to exempt the premier and cabinet ministers from disclosure, is included in today’s budget legislation.

Demand for university education in Ontario is only growing, but funding is not keeping pace with the national average and cuts to student aid won't help Ontario families struggling with affordability. Read our budget response: https://t.co/xErVknBF83

If there’s one thing this reveals it’s that this govt is afraid of students and an educated population. #ONPoli

Budget TLDR:

The Ford government keeps claiming they’re trying to #ProtectOntario and its public services, but their numbers don’t match their words.

Big numbers, no substance, and a clear shift to privatization.

Bethlenfalvy keeps emphasizing that the “world is facing more uncertainty” and yet – they have no problem thrusting students into even more uncertainty with mounting student debt.

[Tyler Watt 🇨🇦 @tylerwatt]

Another budget from the Ford government - and once again, it misses the mark.

They say it’s about “protecting Ontario,” but it’s the same expensive recycled plan that isn’t working.

Affordability, health care, education, all going in the wrong direction.

After 8 long years, Ontarians deserve better. #onpoli

[CFS-Ontario @CFSON]

The Ford government's agenda is clear: over-police students in schools AND covering 100% tuition for Police college.

All while simultaneously violently repressing student protestors when they’re fighting for their futures.

In its 2026 Ontario budget, the Ford government has committed to spending more than $41 million over three years on school resource officer (SRO) programs across the province. #ONpoli https://t.co/saihtDfhwG

@nolanmquinn Saddling students with thousands upon thousands of debt is not the victory you think it is, Minister.
