As universities and colleges cut academic programs, close programs, and slash 13,000+ jobs, Budget 2025 halves international student enrolment without boosting core funding.

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

For too long, Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code has silenced workers and unions, stripping them of their most effective means to fight for fair wages, safe working conditions, and respect on the job. MTS stands in solidarity with the CLC and calls for an end to this practice. buff.ly/8XZKixh

I would like to thank all the @dalhousie.bsky.social students (& their families), with special acknowledgment to the leaders in the #DalStudentUnion, for supporting us at @dalfaculty.bsky.social to #KeepDalStrong. It meant a great deal - we will work to ensure the semester is successful for you!

Awesome correction. #keepdalstrong

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

F yeah, we are KEEPING DAL STRONG. Amazing. #KeepDalStrong

Your negotiating committees have been working to represent you at the bargaining table and will continue to fight for fair working conditions as we head into conciliation at Dalhousie, MSVU and Saint Mary's.

Fantastic news! When students mobilize, great things happen! #KeepDalStrong

Picketing doesn't just take place on the streets! DFA has a team of virtual picketers working behind the scenes, blogging, researching, cataloguing photos, monitoring media, writing thank you letters, tracking donations ... the list goes on! Shout out to all! #KeepDalStrong

Picketing with and for her so she has a chance to have profs with job stability. When you have a stable job, you can focus on your students and courses, instead of worrying if you will be employed next year. #KeepDalStrong

#solidarity with APPBUSA Strongly encourage all to send a letter of support.

So psyched to be in this together--coming from the USA I'd never seen this kind of serious organized solidarity across the Province and country!
