Beautiful moment as a teaching assistant today:

In today's tutorial, one of my students asked if she can distribute red square pins to fellow students, as an expression of protest against the Ford government's #OSAP cuts.

I encouraged her to take some time to explain what the protest is about. She did a beautiful job, linking it to the Québec student protests in 2012, and inviting her peers to an information session at the student centre, and to the big day of action on March 4 at Queen's Park.

I took a stack of pins and gave them out to students in my other tutorial. So proud of her 🥲

Students like her give me hope.

OSAP changes are going to result in a much bigger debt load for university and college students, and/or a lot of students dropping out, at the same time as youth unemployment is through the roof. this is an incredibly regressive decision by the Conservative government of Ontario which wants a LESS educated public — especially among poor people 😡
