#OSAP

The Ford Government knew about foreign OSAP scams for over two years and did nothing to stop it before decimating the OSAP program for everyone, including Ontario citizens. #ontario #onpoli #osap #dougford #frankdomenic🍁

How dare you, @fordnation! It's one thing to put ON taxpayers in a difficult position, it's despicable to pull the rug out from unsuspecting students. Not only have you ruined their plans, you have ruined their future, placing them in a difficult financial/emotional bind. #OSAP

OSAP freeze looms over fall session as Ford defends handling of suspected fraud at private colleges

Ford gov says OSAP was abused for millions, freezes aid for 242 colleges, but won't release the KPMG audit. If it's about protecting taxpayers, why hide the report? Transparency now. #OSAP #ONpoli #YSW

The Minister of Colleges and Universities says the audit of OSAP underway by KPMG won't be made public. I asked him why the audit being done with taxpayer money about how other taxpayer money was spent shouldn't be shared.

We had the money to tear up a beer contract to allow for alcohol in gas stations a year early but we can't support low and middle income students and are collective future in #Ontario... #OSAP

Conservative Windsor MPP says they have to cut OSAP or else they’ll “run out of money.” Next day Ford is announcing an artificial island. “No you don’t understand, if we don’t cut OSAP we can’t build the artificial island!!”

6,000+ signatures and counting. Students, parents, and allies across Ontario are speaking out against OSAP cuts that mean less support and more debt. Let’s keep the momentum going. Sign the petition. Link in bio. #onpoli #osap #education

Students deserve better than deeper debt. We’re rallying at Queen’s Park alongside @cfson to defend accessible education and demand action on OSAP. Students shouldn’t be pushed deeper into debt just to earn a degree. Education is a right. Not a debt sentence. #onpoli #osap

Post-secondary students across #Ontario walked out of classes to protest changes to #OSAP introduced by the Doug Ford government. ‼️ Bill 33 reduces the grant portion of OSAP funding from up to 85% to 25%, increasing the share students receive as loans.

Are questions being raised about how OSAP funding is being used? The numbers raise important questions about recruitment practices, public student assistance and accountability within Ontario’s post-secondary education system. #OSAP #Education #TPLMedia

The Ford government’s new cuts to OSAP grants will force students from lower-income families to take on thousands more in debt. All this during a cost of living crisis. Do the right thing, Doug. Fix OSAP, and fix it ASAP. #onpoli #osap #fixosapasap

#ONpoli Another Instagram post advertising the easy money of #OSAP

"#OSAP delay sends #Ontario college students home on 1st day of school | CBC News On the first day of orientation on Monday, students using OSAP were kept in class while those paying their own tuition were taken on a tour, Tilley said. "They let us know that they weren’t sure when or if our OSAP was going to come in and they haven’t received much information," she said. Students who could not pay were unable to begin their programs. "So there’s about a dozen of us who left," Tilley said. "And none of us are sure when we can return [or] if we can return." In an email sent late Friday, Marca College confirmed that "OSAP program approvals for the 2026–2027 academic year are currently awaiting renewal by the #provincial government."

Day 71 @fordnation, education should open doors, not create financial burdens. Students need support to achieve their goals. Please restore meaningful OSAP grants. #OSAP

#ONpol Doug Ford’s #OSAP scandal is bigger than anyone realises… you have *REAL ESTATE AGENTS* in Brampton advertising “$60k loans” without ever mentioning that OSAP is a program for students. Doug Ford handed over hundreds of millions in taxpayer money to these fraudsters.

By any measure, this is outrageous. No matter what party you vote for, if you’re a serious adult/parent, you should be angry. #Ontario #OSAP #secrecy #education #corruption

Ontario won't make career college OSAP audit public, minister says

#ONpoli Another #OSAP ad where it is barely mentioned that the program is for education. This one is basically saying “take an online course and get money to pay off your credit cards”. 😡

Another @fordnation fail, screwing up peoples’ lives! 😡 #OSAP

The government shouldn’t get to choose who gets a future — and who doesn’t. But with these OSAP cuts, that’s exactly what’s happening. Your future should be yours to define. We’re fighting for that. #onpoli #osap #fixOSAPASAP

Applications for #OSAP open on March 29 (tomorrow!). Get ready for OSAP! Create a profile now:
