As premiers from across Canada met, members joined @HealthCoalition, fellow unions and community allies to rally in defense of public health care. United in solidarity we sent a strong message, this is OUR public health care system and we will never stop fighting to protect it.

We must also commit to challenging systems and structures that perpetuate discrimination and erasure. Now more than ever, we must build movements where no one is left behind and where everyone is free and safe to be their true selves. /3.

Programs that Ontarians need are being cut. This isn’t "right sizing". It's an attempt to disassemble one of Ontario’s last public institutions. #cdnpse #cndpoli . via @torontostar.

While cuts largely reflect where international students have been concentrated, the fallout extends well beyond that, with few areas of study spared.

Doug Ford wants you to believe that community support workers don’t deserve fair pay, and that it’s okay to cut services that kids, parents and grandparents rely on. Tell Doug Ford: You’re not fooling Ontario! Join the campaign now:

John Tibbits, President of Conestoga College, took home $636,106 last year. Now, the college is rationing air conditioning to "cost-save" in the midst of a heat wave, with staff raising alarm about growing temperatures inside. Dystopian. #ONpoli #ONpse.

Employees at the college's Doon and Milton campuses allege that the college has reduced air conditioning usage as a cost-saving measure.

“What we’re seeing is a classic playbook of starving the system of resources, forcing people out and worsening conditions. We will have lost nearly 10,000 jobs with no public scrutiny. We’re looking for some accountability.” #ONpoli #ONpse.

From Bill 124 to defunding the services we provide, Doug Ford is trying to pull a fast one on Ontario. Ford owes workers like us better pay and more resources. Join the campaign to demand fair wages for community support workers now

As OPSEU/SEFPO members fight what is on track to be the worst wildfire season, Ford is choosing to mislead the public instead of fixing the staffing crisis. There are waterbombers on the ground right now because we don't have the pilots and technicians needed to fly them.
Doug Ford said he ordered new waterbombers to fight Ontario’s record wildfires. Budget documents show no money earmarked for their purchase
