Today, CCPA-NS released a new report detailing public services, affordability, and inequality in Newfoundland and Labrador, authored by Daniel Cerdas Sandí, Christine Saulnier, and Russell Williams.

Slide 2: The front-half of a yellow school bus, with the text, "Publicly funded services provide substantial economic value to households in Newfoundland and Labrador. The average annual value of public services received by a household in Newfoundland and Labrador is $30,028. This includes publicly funded health care, education and other public services that families would otherwise have to pay for themselves." CCPA-NS logo in bottom right corner.

Provincial governments are getting way too cozy with the s33 shortcut to restrict labour and other charter-protected rights. Sign this parliamentary petition to tell MPs know that fundamental rights must be treated as such. @ctffce.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social www.ctf-fce.ca/take-action/...

Governments are enacting the notwithstanding clause to deny human and democratic rights – and it’s at the expense of youth, educators, and all workers.

Deep funding cuts = deep losses Imagine how much potential can be realized if leaders return to funding our university as the investment in NL it’s always been ? #WeAreMUN @munfaculty.bsky.social

If we want MUN graduates to invest their education and skills in NL’s Health systems…maybe NL should invest in them @munfaculty.bsky.social #WeAreMUN #FundMUN

These are the kinds of stories we keep hearing. A course that changed someone’s life. A reason someone stayed in Newfoundland and Labrador. A degree that helped build a career, a business, a future. A hope that the next generation gets the same chance. 1/2 #WeAreMUN
