Just watched my dad stare at crow for a solid thirty seconds (during which crow was making cute comments), then turn to go back up the HELM’s stairs and run right into the wall. Couldn’t relate more honestly. Crow has that effect on us all.
y’all: bisexuals are fake bc they usually end up in m/f relationships
me, an intellectual: it’s easier and statistically more likely to find a straight person who is attracted to you and compatible with you than to find a lgb+ person who is, especially in small towns. not to mention the fact that a big part of lg community won’t date us, because they are biphobic. also a huge number of bis are nb, so m/f rhetoric doesn’t even fit us. also. there is nothing wrong with bis being in a m/f relationship if it’s healthy. also. stop being biphobic it’s 2017 when will this stop
On January 17th, 2019, Doug Ford’s government announced a new funding framework for Ontario’s post-secondary education system that, in addition to throwing students further into debt, includes a policy called the “Student Choice Initiative” which will allow students to opt-out of ancillary fees.
As Nora Loreto has written about elsewhere, this move is potentially catastrophic: “If implemented, this would severely weaken, if not kill students’ unions, clubs, associations, services and campus media like radio or the campus press.”
The opposition from stakeholders has been universal, including virtually all elected student union leaders and campus clubs, student newspapers, the Canadian Federation of Students, the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance, the College Student Alliance, the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations, the Ontario Federation of Labour, the Canadian University Press, and many more.
With the entire college and university sector united against Ford’s initiative, the question is: did they even consult any students on this “For the Students” plan? When asked directly about this following her press conference, and then later on CBC’s Power and Politics, Minister Merrilee Fullerton was unable to name a single student or student organization that she had consulted.
But there was one individual on Twitter who insisted that he had been consulted, and even claims that his student organization had come up with the idea.
This was Michele Di Franco, Vice President Finance of the University of Ottawa’s Students for Free Speech. In August 2018, his organization had participated in a provincial Free Speech Roundtable alongside other Free Speech groups from the University of Toronto and York University. Premier Ford and Minister Fullerton were both in attendance. Video from that meeting was posted online by the Ford government the very next day when they announced their new plan to force universities to implement government-mandated free speech policies.
