It’s election time in Canada and universities and colleges need your help.

Across the country, colleges and universities are facing drastic program cuts, layoffs and campus closures.

Don’t forget to vote – tell the federal government they need to act NOW to save PSE.

#Election2025 is under way and it’s time to speak out for PSE.

Drastic cuts and threats to academia and research have shown that PSE is facing a crisis.

Our institutions are the key to Canada’s future.

Nova Scotia has proposed legislation increasing political interference in universities.

Political interference in education isn’t just an American phenomenon. It’s alive and well in Canada too.

Politicians should not dictate the priorities of universities.

Six years ago Ford froze funding to universities at the lowest level per capita in Canada. Now Carleton is must make cuts to deal with a deficit of $50 million. We need to fund post-secondary education so that it is reliable and high-quality #onpoli #onted https://t.co/2nGSAJ23Dr
