Today we honour survivors of residential schools, their families, and the communities forever impacted. Reconciliation lives in what we teach, collect, and research. We must choose to challenge colonial narratives, and make space for Indigenous voices and ways of knowing.

In Canada, proposed cuts of 15% across the federal government would have a dramatic effect on already globally decimated research & science.

Join Canada's research and science community and tell PM Mark Carney to preserve the funding promised in 2024.

Send a letter: win.newmode.net/canadianasso...
Illustration of a magnifying glass above text that reads "Take action now! Tell the Prime Minister not to cut science and research funding in the Budget on November 4."

📢 We stood with @opseusefpo.bsky.social college front line workers on strike today.

Chronic underfunding and short-sighted policies leave workers carrying the burden. Fair funding and a post-secondary system that values the people who make it work are long overdue. ✊#onpoli #onpse #onlab

@kunalchaudhary.bsky.social analysis in The Local continues to shine a light on the deep-seated crisis facing our world-class public universities.

Ontario can and must do better. The future of the province’s learners and economy depends on it.

At the LDLC Labour Day Picnic, we stood with workers across sectors to celebrate solidarity 💪. We spoke with the community about the urgent need to fund public higher education. Universities should be places where students succeed & faculty/staff are fairly supported. Public funding is needed🎓.

Patti Doyle-Bedwell is on DFA’s Bargaining Team. She urges the @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board to come back to the table- we are now on day 7 of complete silence from the Board. Time to talk, don’t you think? #keepdalstrong @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

"In stark contrast to the aspirations of a more prosperous, productive Canada, governments at all levels have abandoned the post-secondary sector to shuttered programs. Highly qualified personnel are being displaced at an unprecedented rate."

Last day of conciliation with @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board is Mon Aug 11. Seems like Dal plans to lock out faculty, cancelling courses/research conducted by 1000 profs, instructors, librarians, counsellors. Voice your concerns [email protected]. #keepdalstrong @caut.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social

Let’s be clear:
✔ Faculty want to teach.
✔ Faculty want to bargain.
✖ The Board walked.
A lockout in August isn’t leadership—it’s negligence. #KeepDalStrong (link to media release in comment)

Our college system is in crisis. As the Conservative government refuses to act, our communities pay the price. A substantial, permanent increase in operating grants is the only thing that will stabilize the sector and protect our economy. #OnPSE #onpoli

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 @uwofa1.bsky.social

International students =YES. Navitas =NO.
– @nigmendra.bsky.social, @ocufa.bsky.social President

@westernu.bsky.social doesn’t need a for-profit to support international students. We can build strong programs with real supports + good jobs.

📍Senate meets today. Make your voice heard! #NoToNavitas
