The number of times @QueensUProvost audibly muttered "oh god" before answering questions at today's #QueensU austerity townhall for staff and faculty - 3. Openly contemptuous is never a good look on leadership.


16th in EXTERNAL funding - down 20% from 2021. 25/50 for research $ for graduate students. Austerity plans - shorter completion times, reduced funding, & the transfer teaching from adjuncts to teaching fellows insures the quality of research will continue to decline. #QueensU

#QueensU is proud 🙌 to be included in @R_Infosource 2023 Canada’s Top Research University List. As one of the nation’s leading research-intensive universities, @Queensu is home to a vibrant research community who work in partnership with communities, governments, and industry…

Until recently, @CraigMokhiber was a top U.N. official working on human rights. He just left his post with a scathing resignation letter blasting U.N. and Western complicity in Israeli abuses. Mokhiber joins Democracy Now! to talk about the current war in Gaza and more.


listening to @CBCOntarioToday topic whether or not it reporting men for 'bad dates' on social media is 'fair' and i can't help thinking about the backlash against the woman who wrote the Ghomeshi 'bad date' story. #WhisperNetworks for safety!


when you didn't vote you voted for this. #onpoli


Getting tired of having to repeat simple facts. #QueensU is built on the backs of graduate student labour/poverty. We research, teach, study ... and we can't afford groceries. @PSAC901 is uniting our voices. Will we be heard? @QueensPrincipal #ValueOurwork! #gradschool


“We hope to recruit rising stars and nurture them, setting up research environments where researchers are supported and able to progress.” #QueensU start now - pay current grad students enough to be able to afford rent AND food. Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/9501408/q…


Just a reminder that #QueensU is thrilled to showcase the research of graduate students while letting them live in poverty. #ValueOurWork #RamenReasons @psac901 @QueensPrincipal queensu.ca/gazette/storie… via @queensu


grad students across canada are tired of living in poverty! tomorrow @PSAC901 and @PSAC610 are rallying. If you live in Kingston or London show up in support! in the interim @QueensPrincipal maybe maybe donate some of your 400k+ salary to 901's food fund gofund.me/1a850cda

Graduate students @QueensU know we aren’t alone! Costs of living go up - our incomes remain the same. @PSAC901 urges you to share your stories with your Uni admin, politicians and community. Share your #RamenReasons for better funding. #GradSchool #ValueOurWork #QueensU

hey @QueensPrincipal it would be great if you and some of the other admin contributed to this fund! i know you aren't keen to admit there is a problem so feel free to donate anonymously! gofund.me/1a850cda #ValueOurWork #QueensU #GradSchool #EndStudentPoverty

Graduate student workers can't make ends meet. Our funding packages are #NOTenough and now @QueensPrincipal wants to raise our tuition! more info: psac901.org donate: gofund.me/1a850cda #ValueOurWork #KingstonON @QUFAtweet @QueensU

.@PSAC901 wrote to @QueensPrincipal to tell him that we can't afford a rise in tuition. 901 told him members can't afford rent and groceries ... his response? Apparently it is also an 'unfortunate' time to be an institution ... read his letter at psac901.org #QueensU

Towne Hall tonight!! @QueensPrincipal sent his regrets ... he won't be attending. What he doesn't seem to care about is the economic realities of graduate student workers ... read his reply here psac901.org/?p=1604 #ValueOurWork #psac901 #QueensU

"You can have rights as long as you promise not to use them." @fordnation doesn't understand rights. join the picket lines! this is all of our fight! #39kIsNotEnough #onpoli #EducationWorkersRights


today in unpopular opinions ... if you didn't vote against #Ford you voted for this. if you didn't vote. you voted for this. your responsibilities didn't end in voting though ... support education workers! #onpoli #39kIsNotEnough

About a month ago I realised I hadn't seen my elderly next door neighbour for a few days. I went to check; I could hear him, but he wouldn't come to the door. I called 999. The police broke the door down. Paramedics took him away. He didn't make it.

Jon interviewed Leslie Rutledge, Arkansas Attorney General, about why her state banned gender-affirming care for minors - ignoring the guidelines of major medical organizations and taking the decision out of parents’ hands. Watch the full interview on @AppleTVPlus


Today in why @VIA_Rail is the worst ... ticket from Guelph to Kingston $72 ticket from Toronto to Kingston $88 TORONTO TO KINGSTON PART IS THE EXACT SAME TRAIN!! @liberal_party how about working on affordable public transportation? #gradschool #publictransport


hey @UtilitiesKngstn you know what makes covid isolation even less fun? 9 hrs without water.


JK taking the time to explain his intellectual process as simply 'contrarian'. That's right little man, you just keep on leaving the actual thinking to others ... just say no. #ThisIdiotAgain

when I was on the @nationalpost ed board, I was the cranky republican anti-monarchist, banging on about the accident of birth. But as i watch sanctimonious social-justice harpies react to the queen's death, I'm wavering: Whatever side these hashtag ghouls are on, I'm on the other



20 minutes in queue to speak to @VIA_Rail agent. She politely & 'regretfully' tells me that student passes are 'rumoured' to be happening but they have 'no information yet'. @CanadianPM how about transportation policies & practices that are equitable and environmentally sound?
