Alberta's Bill 11 sounds death knell for universal healthcare It is hard to overstate how destructive Bill 11 is. If Alberta and Ontario fail to fight provincial privatization, free universal healthcare across the country is at risk of collapsing.

How much does that job pay? Employers still failing to comply with new salary transparency laws As of Jan. 1, job postings by employers with 25 or more workers are required to include salary ranges within $50,000, and alert prospective employees if artificial intelligence is used

Pay transparency without enforcement puts the risk on workers, not employers. A $50,000 salary range isn’t transparency. “There is a big difference in a salary range of $50,000,” says Walton, OFL President. "It’s the difference between having to work one or two jobs.”

@westernu.bsky.social says Navitas will help meet enrolment goals—but first year tuition will go to the International College, and students may not meet direct-entry standards.

How does this benefit Western—or its reputation?
#NoToNavitasUWO

@westernu.bsky.social says Navitas success = progression & graduation.

What about Year 1 performance?
What happens when tuition only flows in after Year 1?
Why are we using data that doesn't align?

Were still asking questions Western won't answer. #NoToNavitasUWO
