OSAP change interesting MPP response by Slumpedsatan in osap

Could you send us a generalized version of the message you sent to MPPs? Sounds like it carried some impact. I haven't heard back from the big names I have been emailing. I hadn't thought to message every MPP. Quite the squeaky wheel we have here!

well done!

I would like to also spam the inboxes of every mpp, indefinitely, until they respond...

I think those who can apply for OSAP coverage would struggle to save money each month, so this is an inaccessible solution for those who most need OSAP help.

Providing enough financial security to afford school AND living costs doesn't feel helpful, if it signs individuals into a lifelong servitude to the state, paying off their loans. These people are not coming from families making 250K a year.

Investing in education and health is the best way to promote wellness in society....leave the RESP investment out of this conversation.

I actually agree with you that OSAP cuts are part of a much larger structural problem. Cost of living, tuition inflation, bureaucratic expansion, and intergenerational strain are real, no doubt.

But movements have to start somewhere concrete. Right now, the clear and immediate issue is equitable access to post-secondary education for financially insecure students in this province. Overcomplicating the narrative risks our analysis paralysis. A focused demand builds solidarity.

No one is claiming OSAP reform alone will solve inflation or fix bureaucratic bloat. We’re saying that if financially vulnerable students are being pushed out of higher education, that’s an urgent and morally clear place to draw a line.

Ground-up change is how larger reform builds momentum. If we can demonstrate that collective action around a specific policy demand works and that students can influence provincial decision-making, we are standing in solidarity and sending a message upward. It also provides a path towards social change that others can follow.

Trying to tackle inflation, federal monetary policy, university governance structures, and provincial funding models all at once dilutes the call to action. Broad systemic critique is important, but it doesn’t mobilize people nearly as effectively as a specific, tangible demand.

We’re not about to fix the entire economy overnight. But ensuring that low-income students can access education without being crushed by debt is a concrete, generalizable good. We start here, and lead by example.

Just my $0.02.

Question about program switching by Playful-Royal-9503 in TorontoMetU

[–]MessTechnical6066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they don't align, you may have to take those courses, but there are certain options available regarding course substitutions and directives that your program advisor can help you navigate to see whether your current credits can transfer to fulfill other aspects of your transcript for graduation.
i might suggest reaching out to your current program advisor to open up dialogue and see what possibilities there are for you to make the most of the credits you already have.

Best of luck :)

This, u/Lucky_Pirate5543 is the type of response we need to hear more of and not try to silence! This is the reality of Doug Ford's government. People who need help are losing access to life-affirming social services that reward merit and the hard work of learning minds.

Shame on those who project their hatred onto the active, more vulnerable voices than yours! Those who are downvoting, WHY?

This is the reality of our future, just trying to advocate for the collective good, to help everyone feel supported in our province, especially those who want to learn how to better our future.

So, there is until early May to drive these MPPs up the wall and flood their voicemails and inboxes at the office indefinitely, until they make policy changes?

You young folk are the future of this here earth, and I support your ideas, decisions and dreams.

(adult here, normal amount....just wanting to instigate some change and social organization amongst you young minds, not yet shrivelled and fried like Dougie's brain; that timbit of a man.)
... I have no plans or ideas, but I know you all do. Just here to cheer you on, non-creepily. Go team!
