Bill 33, and Doug Fords war on students - rabble.ca Bill 33 is another power grab by Ontario Premier Doug Ford aimed at smashing dissent from students.

I wrote for @rabble.ca about Bill 33, the Student Choice Initiative, and Doug Ford's war on student organizing. There are massive implications for organizing across the board. Hope you all give it a read!

Students at Ottawa U warn about a “student housing crisis” A report conducted by the student union found that students can’t afford housing. Representatives were invited to present it at city council’s housing and planning committee.

I had the chance, with UOSU to present to city council about the student housing report I led, and the student housing crisis effecting our city and Canada. You can hear more about it on CBC. Thanks to @jleiper.bsky.social for the opportunity

City Budget 2025: A mess of Ottawa Council’s own making - The Leveller By Sam Hersh Each year Ottawa’s city council and Mayor are faced with what should not be a difficult decision: what to fund and how to fund it. Of course, this is not to say budgets are not complex pr...

We've heard a lot from Mark Sutcliffe about how the hole in the trasnit budget is a result of other levels of govt shortchanging the city but how did we really get here?

Read the latest from me in @theleveller.bsky.social about how this financial mess is the city's own making:
