Illustration of a magnifying glass above text that reads "Take action now! Tell the Prime Minister not to cut science and research funding in the Budget on November 4."

In Canada, proposed cuts of 15% across the federal government would have a dramatic effect on already globally decimated research & science.

Join Canada's research and science community and tell PM Mark Carney to preserve the funding promised in 2024.

Over the last ten years, Dalhousie University reported $463 million in net surpluses. Where did that money go? Where did it come from? Where is it now? Is any of it available to address the university's current financial constraints?

If you want clear answers to that question, check this out

At the LDLC Labour Day Picnic, we stood with workers across sectors to celebrate solidarity 💪. We spoke with the community about the urgent need to fund public higher education. Universities should be places where students succeed & faculty/staff are fairly supported. Public funding is needed🎓.

Faculty at the Université Sainte-Anne are an invaluable part of Nova Scotia’s PSE sector. Over 175 people have shared their support for APPBUSA by sending a letter.

📢Send y ours today and tell the Sainte-Anne admin the APPBUSA deserve a fair offer!

We hope everyone had a safe Labour Day in solidarity with workers everywhere! Thank you to WLUFA’s @cautdefencefund.bsky.social rep. Cameron McKenzie for standing with @dalfaculty.bsky.social, who have been locked out since August 18. #LabourDay #KeepDalStrong @ocufa.bsky.social

‘Challenges and uncertainty:’ Dalhousie University faculty lockout leaves students worried The lockout of Dalhousie University faculty is inching closer to the start of the school year, and it's fuelling concerns among students.

I am increasingly frustrated, even angry, about the hypocrisy—tempted to say disinformation—from @dalhousie.bsky.social’s administration. How can you say “the university’s priority is working with the DFA to reach a resolution” when they have not even tried to return to the table? #KeepDalStrong

Naiomi Metallic talks about how her students will miss an opportunity to learn some foundational info re: indigenous law the longer this lockout continues. @dalhousieu.bsky.social, come back to bargain and help us to #keepdalstrong @caut.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social

DFA was supported today by orgs representing 200,000+ unionized workers. The @dalhousieu.bsky.social board isn't fighting 1000, they are fighting an army that stands to #KeepDalStrong. Thanks to all - see you next week! @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social @nsgeu.bsky.social

Every day we're locked out makes things worse. E.g. I likely have well over 100 unanswered e-mails already. There may be urgent e-mails from students in there, but once we're back to work I'll have to prioritize class prep, not a half-day of e-mail reading. If we're locked out a 2nd week...

The first installment of @dalfaculty.bsky.social's (hopefully) Daily Picket Bulletin! Enjoy! #KeepDalStrong

2% is a milk, not an offer!

FYI @dalhousie.bsky.social while the BOG rubs their hands together thinking of the $$ they're saving: You haven't considered the unintended consequences of long-term damage to collegial governance, morale and the inevitable faculty uptick with all things @dalfaculty.bsky.social
