Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

Canada’s Africa strategy is a landmark moment for Canada-Africa relations, but still needs work
Canada has taken an important first step towards a more strategic, intentional and mutually beneficial relationship with Africa. But it must provide more concrete plans for its implementation.

5 ways to improve security governance and prevent future illegal mining tragedies from happening
Security governance at abandoned or closed mining sites must be improved and inclusive policies that address employment needs must be implemented.

With all the various international pressures being exerted on Canada, I wonder if we will finally have a federal election (and dare I say provincial election here in Ontario) where foreign policy is a critical issue? Interesting days...

Had provincial spending on PSE had risen at the same rate as overall spending, universities & colleges would be $9.5B better off today. By a stunning coincidence, $9.5B is almost exactly the increase in international student tuition fee revenue over the same period (albeit distributed differently)

I would simply point out here that on this scale, it's really hard to pick out where left-wing and right-wing administrations begin and end in the two provinces. The decline in funding of PSE in Canada is a thoroughly pan-partisan affair.

Just noting here that Apartment rents in Canada rose more slowly in 2024 due to flood of new construction NOT due to the ill conceived and harmful cap on international students. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Canadian higher education is facing a serious funding crisis. One that could’ve been avoided. But now Canadians will pay for bad political decisions as there will be fewer seats and programs (particularly in STEM fields). This only harms Canada’s future www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Canada's post-secondary industry predicts a storm ahead, as budget cuts shrink courses, staff | CBC News
Cuts to staff, classes, programs and student services: Canada's post-secondary system is moving into a stormy period, as colleges and universities grapple with budget shortfalls exacerbated by restrictions on international students, domestic tuition caps or freezes, and stagnant provincial funding.
