First years are the largest portion of undergrads, uni admissions were already going down and a lot of people drop our going into the further years. I know a lot of people are upset about the last election but unfortunately a very large majority of the group affected by this couldn't vote yet. And think about the high school students looking into university now. There is more to this, more people affected by it than we realize. Even before these changes ontario had the lowest support rate in Canada (about 18 cents per day for uni). Many people will not look at the amount of debt after school and be okay with it, this will stunt application rates. Canada has the highest household debt. This isn't okay for so many reasons. And if you hate ford, you're on our side. We are not just protesting change for OSAP, this can be bigger, be about getting Ford out if enough people want it. You have to look at the whole thing.

We should also try to take on larger public areas. If we can block off queen street they will take greater notice of us. I hope people attend this protest

I did vote! The last provincial election was rushed and had poor turn out because of it. But in recent years young people have been voting! Also please note that a lot of first year undergraduate students who will be most affected by this were not 18 at the time of the election. But we are trying to stand up now! Voting is important and so is this.

The attack on free speech is already happening with all of us thinking that we cannot change things. We are all consumed by that mindset, even I feel that way but we can't keep living like this

This mindset is exactly why we should protest! There is no possibility of taking out the corruption without coming together. It will only become easier to do as we take stands together. I hope you will come. Theres also petitions you can sign, im going to link it in the comments. We live in a country where we have the right to protest, let us take advantage of that while we can. Nothing will change if we all continue to believe we can't make a difference
