This can be a death blow for some colleges and universities in Ontario - what now? Eagerly awaiting a reaction... Doug Ford ON Colleges, Universities, Research & Security Ontario Government Education Ontario cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

Research is not a club, it is not for a select few, it is for everyone. It is a fundamental building block of Canada that everyone has a stake in. Research improves our health, environment, innovation and economy. Time to invest in researchers, postdocs, and grad students.

Join me in advocating for increased funding for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in Budget 2024 #SupportOurScience nwmd.io/s/twitter/ZBU7…

What is needed: more money for scholarships and more money for NSERC / CRSNG discovery and CIHR-ICRH | L'ISCR des IRSC project grants that pay for >80% of their stipends.

Liberal and Conservative governments have starved our post-secondary institutions of resources for years with per-student funding that is half of what other provinces provide, and now they are on the brink. Where is the plan to keep them solvent and sustainable? #OnPoli #OnPSE
