I’m praying the Liberals don’t get a majority. I just don’t trust or like Mark Carney. We don’t know enough about him and we know way too much about his cabinet. #cdnpoli #Election2025 #MarkCarney #PierrePoilievre #lifelongliberal

5 years later — and the challenges remain. Toronto Metropolitan Faculty Association’s president shares what their entire campus community continues to face under a Navitas partnership. This is what we risk at Western University. Watch and learn why we’re saying #NoToNavitas🎥👇OCUFA Peggy Sattler

Dr. Marianne Larsen, Professor Emeritus at Western University, urges the community to keep examining Navitas. She points to recent Glassdoor reviews where staff say the company prioritizes profit—“maximizing every cent” from students. The concerns are still real. #NoToNavitas #onpse

📢“International students = YES. Navitas = NO.” Nig Narain, OCUFA President Western University doesn’t need a for-profit to support international students. We can build strong programs with real supports + good jobs. 📍 Senate meets today. Show up. Speak out. #NoToNavitasUWO

Privatization has no place in Ontario’s post-secondary system. The Ontario government must permanently increase base funding so our universities will never be vulnerable to these companies again. I urge Western University to say no to Navitas. #NoNavitasUWO

Peggy Sattler Western University Florentine Strzelczyk Social Sci @WesternU 1 of these student leaders, Jenna Beacroft, concluded her eloquent remarks thus: "There is nothing strategic about surrendering the future of our University to private equity." Pls join these visionary student Senators in voting for the future of public education in Ontario :

Peggy Sattler Western University Florentine Strzelczyk Social Sci @WesternU Senator Heather Kirk spoke eloquently to reflect the motion overwhelmingly supported by her Arts & Humanities colleagues : "The A&H Faculty Council firmly opposes any partnership between Western and #Navitas, or any other private "pathway" college." #NoNavitasUWO

So Western University wants to bring in as many as 2300 new international students per year. cbc.ca/news/canada/lo…

I didn’t always agree with him, but defending his right to speak is non-negotiable. Free speech matters most when it protects what we dislike. Debate builds democracy, yet we teach outrage instead of thinking. Losing voices like Charlie’s is a loss for society. #CharlieKirk

This is how my generation did halftime shows. Just saying.
