Quick recap of the #ONBudget:

Education

➡ No immediate financial relief for post-secondary students, only a freeze of over-priced pre-pandemic tuition fees
➡ Inadequate funding to hire more educators for smaller, safer classes - students and faculty need help

#onpse #onted
Housing

➡ Ignored our #homelessness crisis
➡ Absolutely ZERO funds for direct rent relief
➡ Raised hydro rates for residential properties, instead of the promised reduction of 12%
Health and LTC

➡ Hospitals have a $850 million #COVID19 deficit, no action plan to expand public healthcare
#LTC boutique tax credits doesn't fix our broken private care industry
➡ No details on achieving four hours of direct care for every LTC resident in Ontario by 2025

#ONbudget is really bad news for #onted. It utterly ignores warning calls from Ontario schools to reduce class sizes.

A one-time $200 per child (up to 12 yo) is the only new announcement; the rest is re-touting of earlier, misleading news releases. #onpoli 1/3.
Amid a global pandemic, #ONbudget is practically freezing the #onted budget in 2021-22 and 2022-23. This is the time to invest more, not less, in Ontario schools. 2/3. #onpoli.
For an analysis of the present reality in #onted schools - a reality that won't be made any better by this #ONbudget - check out this Behind the Numbers post by @BBFarhadi. 3/3. behindthenumbers.ca/2020/11/05/con…
