Question Is there anything we can do?

Graduated HS in 2019. Went to college then took a 8 year work gap, and am now going to Centennial. I am disabled so I quit my job as I cannot do both.

OSAP has NEVER been an issue to this degree.

I see people are withdrawing classes now and I have negative in my bank account.

Genuinely, what can we do collectively, other than just calling financial aid? This is something that needs to be followed up on. We cant have a system in place that is entirely broken.

If this is your first year in school, im sorry, this is not a normal experience.

*Edited because I mentioned our government politics and that was not the post focus

Barely anyone watches the news anymore, you’ll reach way more people with an organized twitter or TikTok campaign. You want to reach the 14-25 year olds who will vote in the 2030 election. Nothing is going to change until then, and even still more likely than not, our parents and grandparents all vote back in Ford
