Trudeau will have a very complicated legacy. And part of that will include the some of the points you raise but also the instances where performatory reconciliation has actually left some lasting negative impacts. My home region (Labrador) has been torn apart by failing to care about details...

Atlantic Canada. Beautiful region. Newfoundland and Labrador in particular is the best fit for someone who loves exploring the outdoors. Lots of winter activities too.

Constant promises of millions here or there... It's also jarring to see the contract nursing scandal hasn't been prominent in the discussion considering the AG reports... Home in Labrador contract nurses were getting much more pay, less hours and no 'paging in', no wonder public retention is tough.

It's been interesting to see the lack of discussion in NL on how the new NL-QC deal barely covers the financial liabilities of the Muskrat Falls debacle. Yet it's being treated as significant extra revenue.

I don't like talking about the hate & abuse I received in politics. I don't need sympathy. But we do need change. And I promised to support women & girls who want to go into politics. So here is my story. We need to stop this. Now.

The easiest win for everyone would be if as part of the government housing push they provided direct support to help universities build more residences and housing supports. But I think many of us aren't convinced that if that money were available that senior leaders would necessarily do so.

I'm just pointing out that being able to show the relative contributors to "unaffordability" in the context of University education is a useful exercise.

Especially in terms of advocating for a particular policy agenda. universities also get blamed for being tepid on the housing issue.

Robert Way @labradorice.bsky.social · 19d

I think It's important to be able to point the finger at the causes of the perception of unaffordability.

Tuition is just stand-in in many consumers eyes for the broader costs. If we say it's never been cheaper (recently) to get a University degree that isn't easy to reconcile with all in costs

Robert Way @labradorice.bsky.social · 19d

The challenge with this data is it may show one trend but if we account for the total cost of going including housing then you can see where the pinch is as articulated by many students.

And the perception is universities have not been proactive in this area.

I'm with Andrew here for similar reasons. We can effectively rule out the lowest end with real-world observations. Unless one assumes ECS = TCR which *ahem* is not correct.
