Students across Ontario are questioning whether they can even afford their future after these #OSAP changes. And this out-of-touch government is telling them just to take on more debt and figure it out. They’re balancing the books on the backs of students - and calling it a plan. #onpoli #FixOSAPASAP

As Premier Doug Ford was asked about the OSAP changes, he thundered back, calling the Ontario Liberals a "bunch of amateurs" who would bankrupt a lemonade stand. Note: Under Ford, Ontario's debt will grow to half-a-trillion and the budget has yet to be balanced. #onpoli

“When the Premier goes on national TV and says students spend OSAP on watches and cologne, it’s a slap in the face to all of us.” OSAP is about tuition, rent, and groceries - not luxury. Students like Raheem deserve respect and a fair shot. #onpoli

Let me be clear: High school students will be eligible to vote in the next provincial election and when they walk into that voting booth, they will remember Doug Ford cutting their OSAP grants and burdening them with a lifetime of debt.

“When the premier tells students they're spending OSAP on watches & colognes, it’s a slap in the face to all of us.” Students are mobilizing to pressure the Ford government to reverse cuts to OSAP. But the minister insists cuts are needed to keep the program sustainable.

Doug Ford said students were abusing OSAP and used that to justify deep cuts. But internal government documents tell a different story: 95% of the increase in provincial OSAP grant spending came from private career colleges - not students at Ontario's public colleges and universities. If the government knew what was driving the costs, why did every student pay the price? #onpoli #FixOSAPASAP

Young people in Ontario are already stretched thin and Doug Ford is making it worse. He’s lifting the tuition freeze and cutting OSAP grants, forcing students to borrow more just to finish school. You can’t build a strong economy on a generation buried in debt. Take action at and join the thousands of Ontarians telling Doug Ford to reverse the cuts.

I challenged Doug Ford over his cuts to OSAP. All he could talk about were airports, tunnels and convention centres. The Premier is out of touch with students struggling to pay rent, buy groceries and cover tuition.
