Félicitations @UdeSudbury !
23 programmes dès septembre 2025 à @UdeSudbury mais l'entente avec l'Univ. d'Ottawa n'a pas encore reçu l'appui financier de la province. «Tout indique que le ministère appuie l'approche», dit le recteur Serge Miville #onfr : shorturl.at/gecyd

Truly horrifying, horrendous and shameful.
PRESS RELEASE - Horrifying execution of young protester exposes authorities’ cruelty & risk of further bloodshed. The clear aim of Iranian authorities is to instil fear among the public in a desperate attempt to cling to power and end the popular uprising. amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2…

This report should damn to hell the administrators who destroyed Indigenous Studies, the Midwifery program, and several more programs that focused on Francophone, northern, and Indigenous communities in Ontario.
Auditor General of Ontario - Final Report on Laurentian University's failure of collegial governance: "Laurentian’s financial health was allowed to decline to the point that academic careers were short-circuited, jobs were lost and millions of dollars were wasted." @CAUT_ACPPU

How LU justified murdering the only bilingual Midwifery program in Canada: LU lie: We only cut programs with low demand Truth: 300 applicants for only 30 gov't mandated seats LU lie: it wasn't making enough money Truth: it had an operating surplus of half million when cut /1

First lie uttered by Haché "retired ". Second lie uttered to students/profs by Serge Demers during a zoom meeting with us. He is still employed at LU. Shameful. The AG report is making me rage. @JillDunlop1 where is your ministry's commitment to keeping Midwifery in the North?

Congrats Katsi! @TorontoMet
Mohawk Midwife Katsi Cook received an Honourary Docterate from @Metropo4Toronto. As a founding member of NACM & fierce advocate for Indigenous midwifery, her work is instrumental in the reclamation of Indigenous birth. Niawen'kó:wa Katsi for all that you do. #indigenousmidwives

In 2013, midwives filed a human rights claim against the Ontario government. When midwives won, government appealed. Midwives won again. Government filed another appeal. Yesterday, the highest court in Ontario ruled in midwives’ favour. ontariomidwives.ca/midwives-…
