Shownotes

Ontario's Premier, Doug Ford has had post-secondary students, and their unions, in his sights since he took office, but a new round of cuts to OSAP has taken them over the edge.

On March 14th, 2026, students mobilized at Queen's Park to demonstrate, only to be met by violence at the hands of the Toronto Police Services. This did not deter them.

Organizers with the Canadian Federation of Students talk about how we got to this point, and what work needs to be done in order for students to be the force of change they're meant to be - including what it will take for a student strike to actually be effective.

Hosted by: Jessa McLean, and produced by Santiago Helou-Quintero

Call to Action: Sign the No to OSAP Cuts Petition and Attend Day of ACTION MARCH 24th
